What are you people trying to tell us? That the shielding in our blue

They are a little bit useless because they are always cutting out
anyways.
But it is still an improvement on the old wireless headsets.
Is it safe though?
Well I am sort of questioning that whether long term exposure, or
continued use for 10 hours, is completely safe.
But don't tell anyone or their stocks might plummet.

You see there are some things about light, that maybe we haven't quite
figured out yet.
In full sunshine, the spectrum contains wavelengths that are well
difficult to describe without an example.
If you take an old camcorder, an old SONY camcorder, and you take two
polarized lenses and cross them,
maybe at a 45 or some angle that is almost a 45 or slightly more than
a 45 you can isolate some wavelengths
that will pass through materials like cotton. As if they were not
there at all.
They completely, disappear. Not transparent, they are completely not
there.
And so you are filtering out the reflected light off the cotton, with
a series of colored filters, and allowing this strange wavelength to
be intercepted.
This strange wavelength, just passes right through.
But thats not tunneling, it is just on a different frequency and hence
there is nothing to interfere with it.
The size of the nucleus not being sufficient to hinder the wave much.
At least not to a noticeable degree.
So the nucleus can interfere, but the atom is almost transparent if
you are on a frequency, that the dark energy waves surrounding it, and
making up the covalent bond, the cloud of electrons, is not hindering
it.
Now this is not the same thing as that experiment, but it shows there
are stioll some things we don't quite understand such as are there
exotic frequencies of light?
Not virtual photons but simply frequencies not normally detected,
because we are not looking on that frequency.

And yes Albert I am totally in the land of Oz, not just figuratively
either, but totally out there in the blue, riding on a smile a wave
and a shoeshine because this branch of science is just so much fun.

And I am actually on holidays to boot, and I suppose a whole bunch of
other people are on holidays as well since it is summer time.
I see the FED had to help short term borring for corporations because
of the instability in lending markets, and talk of extending the 90
day period to 6 months. Are you people turning into realists over
there or what?
(Thats a joke, because I am always saying, just one more month and
this job will be finished)
but I suspect that I will be back at work, sometime middle to late
September, lets say two months, then the usual transition mode, and
then, I am still not sure yet but if a person sells Porche, they drive
Porche.
If a person sells yachts, they end up owning one.
If a person sells RV's, the same rule seems to apply.
I don't feel the need to own a house, because I don't like cutting the
lawn, and always fixing things, and buying stuff for it, and working
and cleaning and it never ends.
I would say that people like to buy cars. They like these toys even
when they can't really afford them, they make sacrifices, for a lot of
reasons. But they are so expensive.
You know what someone has opened up right downtown, where the lease is
not cheap either, electric bike sales.
Thousand dollars a pop, you just plug them in at night, and crusie
around on your comfy electric bike.
Pedal if you want,
and for Americans pedal if you can, but if you are just in a mood to
cruise around, switch it to glide.

Isn't this a great idea?
The BMW inflatable tent.http://cache.gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2007/02/bmw-air-camper.jpg
Probably has an inflatable mattresses.
Matt Helm (Dean Martin) would be right at home in one of those.
You see there is still so much room for practical innovation.

And I will tell you that some day, people will be more nomadic then
they are today, and they will not live like turtles exactly, but they
will have a better more comfortable cheaper more efficient lifestyle
in their RV's and such.

People love to travel, and many like to be in hotels and have room
service, but a lot of people, especially the aging baby boomers on a
fixed budget, like those vans. Those streamlined camperized vans, that
have everything in them.
They are not so big you can't park them, or wobble on the highway in a
breeze, and you know you can park them anywhere almost so it doesn't
cost much if you want to save money.
But gas is expensive.
When fuel alternatives are available, you will see a lot more people
living a semi nomadic life.

Well you can read between the lines and you know that an aging
population is going to sell their family home and move into a condo,
or a trailer park, or a retirement home, and those baby boomers are
going to affect the real estate market as they do that.
And so the future does not look bright for inflated residential
housing prices.
So you should steer into condo investment and the like, and does that
mean that some cities will benefit where others will not of course,
because lots of people move to Florida, they move to the coast, and
places like Arizona when they retire.
And well you probably won't be able to recoup losses on sub prime
mortgages, because equity will be disappearing as people try to sell
their houses to move into a condo, because they are tired of cutting
the lawn and fixing things and well that is what people do.
And they buy motor homes, they buy cottages, and they change their
lifestyle.
They don't like to spend as much money.
I mean if you focus on all that, ok, the American banking system will
suffer.
So instead of preaching doom and gloom, you just focus on the upside
of that, which is the electric bikes and wheelchair vehicles and
electric scooters they will be buying, the motor homes, the yachts,
the cottages, the condos, and all the rest.
lifestyle living developments, with golf courses, and swimming
pools, and all that.
Yes residential housing will go down in price, but thats the law of
supply and demand.
Its over inflated anyways because of cheap rates.
So you just shift gears a bit laterally and as the man says the market
always looks after itself.
It might be a bitter pill to swallow, but you know the upside of that,
is there will be a lot of opportunities for people to buy homes who
otherwise could not afford it.

And if you want to do the Viking thing and foreclose on America I
won't mind that either because it just makes things interesting.
They already know what they would do in that case, and they would
seize foreign investment, and defend themselves that way.
Does the world economy need them as consumers?
Well any more consumption and they will each explode won't they?
Have you seen them?
They are walking proof that aliens do not eat people because they are
over ripe.
How do they still live???
It must be the new wonder drugs for blood pressure and heart disease
or something that keeps them moving at all.
Have they changed the building code yet? How do they get in and out of
doorways?
I laugh about it sometimes because you know there is supposed to be a
pressure regulator for things of that nature and I guess if people
mess with the pressure regulator and interfere with the normal market
forces, then this is the result.
Would they eat until they explode?
I don't think so. I think they eat until it takes a crane to take them
out of the building.
Well they are rolling in luxury, for the most part, excluding the
disparity between the rich and the poor.
Their cars, their yachts, a million dollars for a gull wing Porsche.
Thats a car, for a million dollars.
And that does not seem unusual.
But to the rest of the people, that is too expensive for a car.
But then they have so much money, most of them, that they will pay
that. If that is what they want.
A million dollars won't even get you a decent yacht these days.
They are 5 and 10 million, and as much as 100 or 200 million.
And then the middle class? Well I don't know but it looks like they
just eat and watch TV.
But they do drive Cadillac SUV's, and brand new Humvees.
Well even if you reduce rates, at what point will investors still want
a return on their investment?
At what point will the equity run out of those homes and the credit
card debt max itself out?
And well who pays for that?
Is that going to be added on in service charges to the consumer?
Locally, they raised the parking meters, from one dollar an hour, to
two dollars an hour.
Thats a 100 percent increase over night.
No one said boo.
It just means that possibly, now when you go driving downtown, there
might, there just might be a parking spot.
And you can pay your 2 bucks or take the bus or ride your bike.
So where people can, where they are able to, like essential services,
you are going to see some correction.
You are going to see some businesses in the downtown core leave,
because they can't afford to stay in those locations.
But that is just the tail end of the last boom. That is the last thing
to happen because leases haven't expired, but when they do, which is
about now, they get corrected from the real estate boom, and so then,
taxes go up too, and so you see across the board pressures towards
inflation.
And what can you do to stop that?
Nothing.
Are they going to raise the real taxes, because the property if now
worth more?
Yes.
That is what happens because taxes are based on real value.
But then when they go down, if they go down, then taxes go back down
too.
But there is nothing you can do, in that process. That is the type of
inflation that people are facing.
And so the garbage workers in Vancouver as an example are on strike.
And that happens too as people try to live with the inflation.
So to offset all these pressures, you look at providing cheaper
housing, like condos, and even lower priced lifestyle communities
without golf courses, just pools and tennis courts.
Etc.
Should the losses be passed on to the consumer by way of service
charges, that is up to you.
There is a point at which people will complain about that.
