Who wants to work in the elite neighborhood anyway? We are busy fishing, pig hunting and growing gardens. We have food, why do we want to work?
It is gonna get beyond spooky and coming your way real soon. Have you looked at the numbers of available airline seats lately? Down by a hefty amount and they say it will be even less next year. There goes tourism!
November '05 was about the peak of the real estate market wasn't it? I'm figuring somewhere around third quarter of '10 to be the trough, but that's just a guess. It does this sort of thing and it will probably continue to do it but what with the peak oil thing going along with the sub-prime it may be worse than usual.
This island will probably just get spooky, if you really want to try living dangerously, try Oahu. If the barges stop, they can't feed themselves.
This is exactly why we chose to live here!! You hit it right on! Well, except for pig hunting.....We've all got to buckle our belts and hang on for the ride, it'll get worse before it gets better. It sucks that electric and gas are so expensive (across the nation), but at least we all live in a place where we could-not that I want to - turn off the electric and survive - no ice storms here!
Our electric bill is to embarrassing to say how much it is....[:0]!! Conserve, conserve, manage, sometimes I think it would be better if we all lived in grass huts in small communities working together to survive, those days are long gone!!
