The death and attempted suicide of Ginger and Frank Bass
Brian Bilbray can tell if someone is illegal by their clothing.— June 7, 2010 6:07 p.m.

Any city would not allow volunteers to work at a dog park and issue tickets. There are liability issues.— June 7, 2010 5:16 p.m.

I didn't mean to start a controversy but the Lincoln Continental for some of a certain age will always be connected with JFK and the events in Dallas.— June 7, 2010 1:50 p.m.

The problem with dog park guards would be the insurance and liability issues which I think might be raised by any city government. If owners of questionable dogs were not in denial about their dogs' behaviors, then the dog park problems would end. A current problem is the use of dog parks by dog walkers/sitters who bring far too many animals into the off leash areas and cannot control them. There is really no city staff to enforce the laws or keep order. These parks are like the Wild Wild West. Any responsible dog owner takes a chance to use one for himself or his dog. Also, the areas are not clean. I have used Fiesta Island dog area. It stinks to high heaven despite the fact there are FREE mutt mitts and plenty of trash cans.— June 6, 2010 2:46 p.m.

Thanks for the videos. I would like to see one of the mastiff that cornered the mother and children in their car. Oh - those will not be posted. Right. I completely understand.— June 3, 2010 7:12 p.m.

The Animal Control Department maintains a list of dangerous dogs. If a dog is found to be dangerous, certain restrictions are placed on the dog and its owner which protect others. Without a report to Animal Control the mastiff may not be controlled in such a way that people are safe. It has been my experience that most dog owners with "questionable" dogs are in denial. Boys under the age of ten are the one most likely to be hurt for some reason by dogs. I hope that your neighbor is responsive and takes the proper measures to control his animal.— June 3, 2010 4:01 p.m.

The City of San Diego is currently seeking to change the municipal code as it relates to sites like Grape Street off leash area because of problems with irresponsible owners. In my opinion if your dog has attacked another dog or person as it happened at Grape Street, you have a moral and legal obligation to share your information just as you would for a traffic accident. I would immediately report the mastiff as it is dangerous and if you do not, the next person may not be as lucky as your family was. I would lay odds that this is not the first time that the dog has escaped or threatened someone.— June 3, 2010 1:54 p.m.
Tranny Stories
A friend told me how his family would buy a pig, fattened it all year, and have it slaughtered on December 10, the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Apparently there was a big fiesta which made anything on this side of the border pale by comparison. The North Park El Comal features a portrait of Frieda Kahlo on a mustard colored wall. The posted review was mild mannered compared to some which I have read but it is fair and accurate within the bounds of the reviewer's knowledge. The bones that appear with the birria can be a little off putting for some. I draw the line at a hoof which I once saw in birria at a party. Bones yes, hooves no.— May 29, 2010 12:15 p.m.
