Food for Thought
Robotic customer service can be amusing. I was in the drugstore buying feminine products, painkillers, chocolate and vodka when the college age cashier dude robotically asked how I was doing, just like he asks every other customer. I looked at him, waved at my purchases and said "how does it LOOK like I'm doing?"— October 14, 2009 10:14 p.m.
So many San Diegans carry guns
I like how folks are blaming the people who called the police about seeing a guy with a gun in PB. It would be good if guns had a visual indicator of whether they were loaded or not. But you can't tell, you know? If I see some guy with a gun having a debate with our local urban outdoorsmen, my first guess is not that it's unloaded. Also, does Nate live in PB or does he just come here to tie up the time of one of the two police cars we have on any given day for the entire beach area? I understand wanting to make a political point. But you could make the same exact point with speech - flyers or a sign saying "do you know it's legal to carry an unloaded gun in public?" without making the cops waste calls on this kind of stunt.— July 25, 2009 2:17 p.m.
What advice would you give someone half your age?
I would say that if you have a real passion for something, whether that's academics or baking or theater or fixing things or whatever, pursue it as long and as hard as you can. You have to be realistic - not everyone can be a rock star and it's good to have some marketable skills to fall back on, but don't let someone talk you out of your dreams with a stack of shoulds and shouldn'ts.— September 16, 2008 3:38 p.m.
A Strip Mall Feel
I agree. And they should change the name of the store to Chez Vaughnes, much more classier-like.— July 19, 2008 5:22 p.m.
