SHOW NOTES:

° State of the art robots for pools.

° Found two years ago in a high-end magazine.

° Took a chance.

° Outstanding results.

° Second season, this year, one robot fails.

° Company says to send it back, they'll send a replacement first.

° True to their word, everything is good.

° Chinese company, locally in Texas.

° Two people ask to visit.

° Thought it was a scam.

° Two Chinese people, one from China currently, visiting customers.

° Bring me a gift.

° We walk through my usage, they take photos (of course).

° They question my use, show me an app and ask my reaction.

° Expanding into more robotics, they ask for suggestions.

° I point out pool levelers.

° Would I be interested for my cars and house?

° Encourage me to continue to ask questions by phone, offer ideas.

The Uncomfortable Truth:

1. I've never seen any other firm in any field go to this trouble, even my investment advisors (who did just take me to lunch).

2. I cannot find any software or devices they left surreptitiously to undermine our way of life.
