Hi Jay,

We haven't spoke for a couple of years. Just wanted to
update what I hear.

If you recall I had a 350k house in San Diego. Just sold
this home for 600k. My neighbors are in bio tech. Not
hearing good things. Money is drying up and layoffs are
happening. Stories of companies with 50 mil of equipment
being sold for 15 mil to big pharma. One Japanese firm the
guys refuse to buy houses fearing deflation as in Japan.

My brother who works for Msft has a work load of 50-75% up
from 25% the last 2 years. My brother-in law sees IBM and
Sun selling equipment at cost just to move inventory.

I'm bailing out of Calif. for the greener pastures of a more
rural life in New Mexico.
