Hydrogen Cars Won't Make a Difference for 40 Years ...President Bush, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and the big automakers agree on this much: They love hydrogen-powered fuel cell technology and its promise of a zero-emission, petroleum-free future."

Bush and Arnold LOVE hydrogen...I don't think so. Rent a movie called NETWORK for the facts on who is running the world. OIL companies. EXXON, MOBIL, CHEVRON. When they own all the power...then they will sell it at whatever price they want. Monopoly, manipulation, lobbying, crony-ism, etc... I leased a Ford Think car. I couldn't drive from Hermosa Beach to Marina Del Rey before I ran out of power and they had to put it on a flatbed to take it to the shop- in Orange County. They finally sent all of them back. It was a scam to meet a deadline Ford didn't do. Some huge money was given to Ford to solve the problem, they ran out of time and didn't get the job done so they bought and brought over the Think and called it a FORD. It didn't work. I don't think Ford is connected to the current Smart car. I think it was just what they call re-labelling. Ford should just make a great car Americans would buy.

1.

Here is a FACT. JPL solved the problem of oil in the 1970's when we had the embargo problem. When the rocket scientists said use Hydrogen....they said no thanks, the embargo was over..It was short sighted and with BIG oil business owning a monopoly on our Government what can we expect? Bush family made it pretty clear.

2.

The ads say buy a used car now instead of an energy efficieint car as it uses energy to make it

Now WHO do you think paid for that ad? Yes the fact is true but the issue for us is to have a message sent to the White House to support world leadership in fuel and environmental effecience- or be like CUBA up to its ears in OLD cars. Its a twist - a trick ad.

3.

New cars still pay salaries for employees. We want the jobs and work in our Country-

Get America working to lead in automotive...again! Can we do it?

My very first mission experience was in Lompoc. Mission La Purisma. I heard about the candlelight tour and signed up. It was one of the absolute TOP things I have ever done -over Disneyland, any theme park, even Shamu! And the opportunity is coming your way.

This year October 10-11 is the candlelight tour.

Imagine. walking with a small group led by a little lady with a lantern to the sunset pouring through the mission openings. As we walk we see a group of Indians at their fire and a pony and rider gallop by. The bell, the experience is truly a reenactment of the olden days. The window vignettes show many themes of the mission. The Lovely lady with a Spanish mantilla, a family making chapatas...at the table, the military men talking at a roaring fire. Finally a big finale with a friar tuck and food tables laden with food made by locals. Have I tempted you yet to say 40 dollars a ticket is worth it for each of your children and for the child in you? Check out the details and email me with thanks if you love it like we did.

http://www.lapurisimamission.org/ the info says call before July 1 to obtain information and procedures. Call (805) 733-3713 I hope you get in! It sells out every year.

Congratulations to schools that made the top list in high schools in our South Bay area

West High for Torrance

Hawthorne Math and Science Academy for Hawthorne, CA

What does this do for home sales? You know it....keeps the properties strong and consistant.

This is the value that keeps on giving to the kids, teachers, families and the whole community.

I have one son that attended Chadwick and My husband graduated from Mira Costa. I have sold properties in all the communities listed above.

I have one home for sale in the West High area. Its a diamond in the rough. Why do I say that?

Its vaule is deep like a diamond copper plumbing, sparkling electrical 200 amps. covered in a roof with a warranty for over 20 years to go. It is not yet carved to the typical shoppers delight. A bachelor lives there and it is his home office. Can you take your eyes off a business and see the potential for a darling childs room or a teenage room complete with surfboards and posters? Can you imagine flowers in vases instead of file cabinets lining the living room? If you want to give it a try for the West High school for your kids I will help you with the decor.

There is a "short sale" for sale in Carson that has been "short changed" in the MLS photo department

Short sales are a difficult business. For everyone. I could go on and on, but agents are saying that a bank owned is easier for Realtors and the clients. What do you think?

The description-nice 4br/2ba home in carson area -this home offers four bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, family kitchen, lots of storage, small private backyard and more.

Hey we want to see the other bathroom! Could you put the seat down???? This is the only Photo..

what is up about that? Could we see the front of the house? Have the sellers seen this on the mls?

It looks remodeled....did they have a permit? So many questions???

Another compelling thought....banks wanted to get into the real estate business ....how do you all think they are doing???? kind of messy...like this photo
