Yay! San Diego reservoirs filling up
I like Borrego Springs except for the winding mountain roads getting there. I've stayed at Casa Del Zorro. This story makes me wonder where they get all their water to fill and replenish their swimming pools. There are at least 20 small private pools and a couple of large swimming pools in their recreational area.— March 31, 2017 10:50 a.m.
The Lord passed by the San Diego Symphony
I love our Symphony. And want to mention thanks to Judson Grosvenor (the first angel) and Helen Copley (their 2nd angel) for their generous contributions that helped the symphony remain an ongoing concern.— March 28, 2017 10:16 p.m.

De La Fuente runs for NYC mayoral seat
Remember Pat Paulsen, one of the comedians on Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In? He used to "run for president" too. http://www.sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2017/m…— March 28, 2017 8:09 p.m.
Kensington bicyclist ticketed for not stopping at Meade and 39th
This bad behavior is common in Cardiff-by-the-Sea. The entire 101, and I will include the entire route, S. Coast Highway north and Torrey Pines Road and the Camino Del Mar stretch. "Cyclists" go in packs of 2 or up to 20+ and they blow through intersections that have stops signs and RED LIGHTS. They assume the 'community' understands they are "green", "sustainable", "cutting emissions", "saving the planet..." It's an arrogance that they deny. Cyclists, bikers are a community. They have demons too. And people that get in their way are demons. Because you can't get in the way of someone who seriously thinks *they* are saving the planet.— March 27, 2017 10:28 p.m.

That seems to be the norm everywhere. In my community the cars routinely run stop signs. I've come to a crossing, stop and another vehicles will come racing up, tap his brakes... look at me and hit the gas... with his inertia will help propel him past me, the person with the right-of-way. Speeding, blocking lanes, using disabled parking spaces without a placard, rolling stop signs, not signaling (and sometimes wondering why you got in an "accident").... all seem to be a modern problem. Does the DMV require any kind of school certificate? Or can you get a license if your last vehicle was a beast of burden? When I went to high school I spent a *semester* in "driver training." We studied the vehicles code. Me memorized the signs, symbols, curb colors and distances. He saw the tragedies of drunk driving on videos. We used a simulator in a trailer. Then we went out in a real car with a driving instructor. We carefully obeyed all the speed limits and traffic controls. After *months* of that we could qualify for a "learners permit." But that training is not statewide anymore, and it is private training that people have to pay for out of their pocket. So our DMV and Vehicle Code is outdated and outmoded because it reflects an era of anticipated training that no longer exists. Now, like in any third-world country, our DMV will get you a license, no matter what language you speak or understand, as long as you can get through a couple minute test. The test you prepared for doing donuts at the Salton Sea.— March 27, 2017 10:21 p.m.
Thirsty for craft beer in East County
Lydia Romero says "Lemon Grove is a throwback to the 1930s..." She's right about that. Their streets are more fit for horses than for cars.— March 27, 2017 9:25 p.m.
NFL owners approve Raiders move to Vegas
When I first learned that the Raiders were moving to Vegas, I had this vision in my head. It is a Sunday phenomenon. Thousands of cars and trucks stretching hundreds miles, flying black flags, with pilots and passengers dressed in black, masked and hooded. From far away it looks like an ISIS caravan. Pirates, misfits and thieves on their bi-weekly journey to revel in the desert.— March 27, 2017 9:13 p.m.
He embezzled $825,000, but gets no prison time
Go big or go home. I wonder how many of the big crooks use their illicit gains to pay their lawyers to keep them out of the slammer.— March 27, 2017 9:04 p.m.

There's a big difference between Idaho and California. Idaho is mostly rural and has a population of 1.7 million people. California has a population of 39 million people. The stops signs are there for everyone's safety. Those who don't follow the rules should be cited.— March 27, 2017 11:28 a.m.
