I think I have officially figured out why the last couple of weeks have been a little slower than normal. Since the olympics are taking place on the other side of the planet, that means the TV programming times are the problem. Is it me or do you feel somewhat unpatriotic if you try to sleep when we are about to win another gold medal? Or if you want to see the fastest human on the planet show us why we should have claimed Jamaica as a territory when we had the chance hundreds of years ago. I am not sure what real world equivelant 8 women in a long boat rowing backwards in a straight line in glass like calm water has, but dog gone it we would be the best at it. We even almost won a fencing gold, (yes the fact the France won the gold in any combat related event all be it a skinny wire coat hanger sized wand ,that's not a sword, is yet another sign of the impending apocolypse. Yes its a fact we can't hang with flipping 14 year old Chinese, sorry they are really 16 according to the Communist Chinese Government Issued Passport (riiigghhttt), or compete when the US landing with an ever so slight hop is deducted worse that a straight Chinese fall and out of bounds landing, but since when is the silver a bad thing? I would be happy with a tin foil medal. But what has this all to do with the slow real estate market lately? We are all on a tired Olympic Hangover. As anyone with the black bags under their eyes at work what they did last night at 1 am they would say I tried to go to sleep but couldnt turn the TV off. So I propose that next time in London we either do one of two things. Since we will have a leap year to justify the adjustment, move our clockes 5 hours or so to match London time, or we threaten them to start another Tea Party if they do not consider us poor Americans and our sleep patterns when scheduling the start times of the events we want to watch. Put the French Fencing team and Water Polo on at 1 am, give us our flipping, running, swimming, and dunking at prime time. (That being said when does the basketball and baseball teams play, I have not seen one game yet, if it were not for 22.5 hours of SportsCenter I would have no clue what is going on, but thats another rant.)Us real estate professionals need to make a living you know....we cant do it when we are all asleep. That being said Starbuck should be making a killing, wonder how their stock is doing?.... www.NeighborhoodBluegrass.com
