Thoughts? It kinda creeps me out that I have a tv show running nightly in my head!

It may be telling you not to stay in a rut - always trying to do that to which you are accustomed, but be ready to "go with the flow". Wherever the flow takes you, takes all of us, we will always be together in some way.

Not this year. THE date now is 06/01/2011.

I am buying back years of service and can only contribute so much a year - thanks to da gubmint!

Also, there are a lot of homes for sale right now in my neighborhood. Folks at the Johnson Space Center are extremely nervous right now about layoffs. Shell is also talking about a huge layoff at the refinery.

So, hopefully, the housing market will be much better next year.

I found out I can build my same house in SA. The kicker - it is $30,000 LESS than the one I built here!

But that reflects the differences in salaries between the two communities, too.

Wonder how weird that would be if we built the same house?

Hindsight (sp?) will ALWAYS kick you in the a$$ mentally Blue so my advise is get over what your trying to convince yourself of right now and capatilize on what you actually have, chances are your better off where you are!

As you know I have been there and done that but I will NOT go back on what could have and or should have been....

The Houston area has over 150 active faults (estimated to be 300 active faults)[40] with an aggregate length of up to 310 miles (500 km),[41][42] including the Long Point-Eureka Heights Fault System which runs through the center of the city. There have been no significant historically recorded earthquakes in Houston, but researchers do not discount the possibility of such quakes occurring in the deeper past, nor in the future. Land in some communities southeast of Houston is sinking because water has been pumped out from the ground for many years. It may be associated with slip along faults; however, the slippage is slow and not considered an earthquake, where stationary faults must slip suddenly enough to create seismic waves.[43] These faults also tend to move at a smooth rate in what is termed "fault creep,"[37] which further reduces the risk of an earthquake.

Texas
Those who have witnessed tidal bore roaring up a ravine are astonished that water does not seem
to respect the relative sea level during those times. What makes the water climb? Water pressure
drives water to climb above its level because at the point where the pressure builds, it takes the
easiest path. When the force of pressure is extreme, compressing the water at lower levels, the path
of lease resistance is taken. During a tidal wave, this path is away from the bulk of water. A tidal
wave moves inland until one of two situations occurs:
1. the level to which it has climbed is higher than the level elsewhere, and the wave recedes, or
2. the pressure behind the wave decreases.

Where tidal waves meet mountains, this can result in tidal bore up ravines. Where tidal waves flow
inland, this results in a flood tide going hundreds of miles inland. Where the tidal wave finds
foothills or barriers, the force of the wave is broken such that it is slowed, allowing a reduction in
pressure behind the wave to arrive before the wave moves far inland. But where the tidal wave
finds virtually no barriers, due to the land being flat, it becomes water on the move, and this very
momentum carries it far inland, and above a height that would otherwise be expected. Water on the
move does more than just push forward, it also creates a void behind it. At first, this water is on the
move because there is pressure behind it, like sloshing water in the Gulf. But then, the force of this
moving water takes on a life of its own. It has momentum, and moving forward, creates a void
behind it, thus drawing the water in the direction of motion, thus continuing the motion. This water
on the move is greater than the resistance in front of it, so it continues. For Texas, this means that
the water will lap at the foothills of the Sierras, before dying back.

Texas will bedevastated by waters sloshing in from the Gulf during the pole shift as well as the
rising waters that occur within in the first two years after the pole shift. Being flat land, and low,
the Gulf will roll over Texas without opposition, at a height of several feet. This water must go
someplace, and will take the path of least resistance. If the water is flowing most rapidly as it
moves over the flat land, then water that would normally move toward mountains or natural barriers
will be diverted to a faster moving flow area - the Texas plains. Thus Texas, due to its flat
terrain, will get more water overall than neighboring areas. Even the high plains will have several
feet of water moving across it, where the coastal areas will have tidal waves hundreds of feet high.
With few tall trees and faced with the after effects of hurricane force winds and earthquakes that
will flatten all but new steel skyscrapers, desperate survivors will have few places to go to escape
the moving sheet of water, which will drag whatever it engulfs back out into the Gulf on its return.

The move to SA is to be closer to DD, DS and DGC - that is all.

Are you talking South America??

wouldn't you just love to have her over for coffee and then just sit and talk, one to one?
