Mary Hoffman takes on CPUC
Follow the money. Follow the MONEY. FOLLOW THE MONEY! The more the owlhoots get away with their shenanigans, the more arrogant they become. This woman should not have to sue. Do we need legislation (a grass-roots initiative petition) to stop such criminal acts, or is existing law up to the job. If so, where is the will within the Attorney General's office to enforce it? PS: By the way, there used to be a function where we could send you a message using our handle instead of our real name. I couldn't figure out how to do it this time. Is this feature no longer available, or is it just my defective memory?— October 2, 2012 10:05 p.m.

Sushi win!
It's also bad form to stick one's chopsticks into a bowl of rice and leave them there. But "form," a Zen master once told me had gotten so complex at one point in Japanese history that many Japanese rejected all of it. NOTE: There are a lot of high-priced sushi restaurants that are in it for the money; the ones who are in it for the art and quality are becoming harder and harder to find. The former are mediocre; the latter charge what they must to make a decent living. Family operations are best; chains are the worst. Small is almost always better. But not always. There is a reason for the long training to become a sushi "chef," and much of it has to do with sanitation and fish quality.— September 19, 2012 12:07 p.m.
Letters from the End of the World, Part Two
Two things: 1. Smith's work is hard to find. This is a website design issue. 2. Referring people to books rarely works. I understand, Jeff, that you want to sample all the candy and not write too much about anything, but this needs an "end." PS: I like the way Smith just lays the information out, letting the readers draw their own conclusions without indulging in preachy stuff; I think that can be more potent for a certain kind of reader. But other readers, the kind who may most need to be reached by good literature, may need a little subtle analysis. If not outright preaching. [NOTE TO READER: You've got a good thing going, but it needs work. You could be an international phenomenon as well as a local one, but you seem to be leaving the former on the table. Can square become cool?]— September 19, 2012 11:54 a.m.

Gentlemen: You need a link to Part One just under the title (labeled: "link to Part One"). This should be a standard part of the website software.— September 19, 2012 11:25 a.m.
Chargers Stadium, Affordable or Not
