The pelicans at Cheeca Lodge in the Keys wait for fishermen to catch fish rather than catching them themselves. And fisherman are taught not to encourage them in their redistribution of the wealth, by pretending to throw their catch back in one direction but actually backhanding the catch back in the other direction. This is so the pelicans can't snare them in the air. Pelicans know this ruse and hide in the shadows so they can't be seen, and catch the fish that the humans try to deceive them with.

Pelicans have learned to steal fish that humans deceptively throw in an opposite direction, and they can profit from human deception by a third level deception of their own. In this case they show that any direct actions by humans to try to capture the gist of recent history of direct movements is doomed to failure as humans are at least as smart as pelicans.

The fish at Sunset harbor congregate around the ferryboat landings where they are fed daily as a tourist attraction. I dropped some muffins in the water and within 5 seconds, all 10 muffins were eaten by an average of 50 snapping fish. Then I put my net in the water, and threw the muffins in and not a single fish out of 500 would attempt to eat the muffin. Thus, the fish saw a danger signal and learned to avoid the easy meal.

The humans don't change their activities often enough when danger appears. They follow the old tried and true. The metals move of up 5% the day before I left on my first vacation in two years (the previous one being during the Katrina hurricane and floods interrupted) was a danger signal that should have caused the humans who follow systems like down 3 in a row to change their activities. Perhaps the move down of 5% in the metals as I return will be of more value.

Steve Leslie adds:

I have been practically everywhere in the Southeast US, from the Carolinas to the Dry Tortugas. And a trip to the Florida Keys remains a unique and pleasant experience. I have been to the Keys many times and am quite familiar with the Cheeca Lodge. Islamorada is a favorite destination of the Bush family. If you are going fishing you might as well try one of the greatest places to fish in the northern hemisphere! I have stayed in nearby Tavernier at the Kon Tiki and also in Marathon.
