I couldn't have said it better myself.

El Cajon takes tax revenue from the county

I think the guy should get way more than that tax refund. He ought to get a citizen award or something, for discovering the error. I know the arcane world of taxation can take some bizarre and twisted roads, but when a local cit finds an error that the pros did not catch, he ought to be recognized and rewarded for it.

Yacht shopping

Hey Matt, Don't be so sure about Mr. Abramovich's yacht not being like a destroyer. You don't get to be a billionaire in Russia without making a few enemies and from what I was told by a crew member who prefers to remain anonymous, that yacht, like a few others of its class, has military grade defense systems. I guess mega-yacht owners have no patience with pirates.

Great Outdoors: Mural lobbyist joins big billboard graphics fray

"Without any mercantile message" is exactly what the guiding principle should be with this issue. Moonie beer messages, colorful though they may be, are still meant to sell the product and should be avoided at all costs. Let the artists bring the art to the buildings but let's not be deceived into allowing what is essentially commercial graffiti. I think some clever marketeers see an opportunity here to get some free advertising under the banner of "Art." I hope local residents do not fall for it.

Calafia confidential: mission accomplished

Sounds like a long way to go for a burger and a beer, Ed. I guess when you throw in the "Cream Wave" crab soup, the hours in the dark and the fall in the ditch, it starts to become a worthwhile adventure. Fortunately for you, the taxi drivers like your face, so you get to make it home too. Can't wait to hear about your next adventuroso.

Antwerp: spiritual, corporeal, coarse and refined

Say, Tamar, did you see anything like a Belgium waffle while over there? Or, is that strictly an American thing?

Carrier suit against U-T begins tomorrow

I hope the carriers are successful with their suit. It's about time these workers were treated like adults. These are not kids on bicycles anymore and they should not be treated like second-class citizens. Waiters and waitresses do not have their pay docked if the customer complains about the food. Their tip may be short, but their puny paycheck does not take the hit. Also, what job requires one to use their car routinely in the course of their work and not pay mileage? Newspapers have been treating these folks like sub-class for too long. It's time.

Bootleggers busted making bucks off Mexican Olympics

Mexican National Olympics? I did not get the memo. Did anyone see anything this side of the border letting people know about these events?

Aunt and uncle get prison for “pimping” their 12-yr-old niece

I don't get why it took the niece ten years to complain.
