Jay, I must be a slow learner. You remind me with <you must stop drawing straight lines through every three points in space, and start thinking in terms of spheres, as in bubbles, as in we are now solidly within a monetary inflation bubble, floating towards a field of sharp pins.> of an unkind comment by a female town planner at Onehunga Borough Council, where I worked for a while in 1973, that "Progress to an engineer is a straight line".

Now, three decades later, I find I'm still travelling along that straight line. Which I have at least learned is actually curved through the gravitational field and cyberspace.

My bid was to be low because I'm well aware of electorates having confiscatory tendencies.

I've noticed when travelling on said highway that there are large power station spheres on the way to San Diego, with a nice ocean view. Maybe I'll put a bid in on those spheres. Good idea? It would take some big, sharp pins to prick those bubbles.

< Oregon will see a population increase, assuming it is financially able to absorb same.>

Jay, lot's of Californians floating on up this way creating quite a flurry in real estate. I've found myself having to move down the food chain and bought some 'dirt', which was surprisingly quite a good value. Looking for more.

The California state government is in financial trouble. Some of the Counties and Cities have difficulties too. Some don't, but they are keeping their mouth shut.

End result is a lot of both good and bad activities will be cut, and California will raise taxes and borrow money at higher interest rates.

The California state government is not California- the people, the businesses, the attitudes.
