They Crawl Among Us
Apparently you're right that the majority of San Diegans mispronounce Cowles. I have always pronounced it as rhyming with "Towels", and I grew up about 2 miles away from it!!— May 14, 2009 10:45 p.m.
Water Survey Says...
I am truly amazed that 63% percent of people are now supporting recycled, a.k.a. toilet to tap, drinking water. What are people thinking? Even if the technology is out there, ever heard of human error?!! There are probably viruses in human waste that haven't even been identified yet, and they're going to be making it drinkable? Before we go down that road, why doesn't CALTRANS start using recycled water to irrigate the freeways instead of drinking water? And why are we all watering our lawns with drinking water? Does this make sense? I'd like to see the City use recycled water for all irrigation, and leave our drinking water alone. It tastes bad enough already, for gosh sakes!!— April 26, 2009 10:12 p.m.
First Swine, Now Squirrels
Well, I for one am not going to be feeding the squirrels anytime soon. It says on the Center for Disease Control website that you CAN get it from touching the animals. Just let the squirrels fend for themselves! This is from the website: www.cdc.gov People usually get plague from being bitten by a rodent flea that is carrying the plague bacterium or by handling an infected animal. Millions of people in Europe died from plague in the Middle Ages, when human homes and places of work were inhabited by flea-infested rats. Today, modern antibiotics are effective against plague, but if an infected person is not treated promptly, the disease is likely to cause illness or death.— April 26, 2009 9:17 p.m.
