SDGE Will Pay US $6.4 Million for 2007 Fire Damages
Thanks for that quote, tho I suspect that some readers might not know what a common is, and perhaps not a goose. I won't say to dumb-down, but there may be some problems associated with litting-up (but don't give up--for a tiny minority of us, it brightens our spirits in the midst of this vale of tears).— September 19, 2012 11:10 a.m.
San Clemente East
Marian Bear was indeed a great lady; one of those whose action and persistent courage in the face of the Goliaths of San Diego politics, industry, and commerce actually got things DONE!— September 19, 2012 10:58 a.m.
San Clemente East
There is a whole class (but definitely a tiny minority) who can't walk more than a half a block without suffering extreme pain, but can ride a mountain bike. We are classed with all other mountain bikers and kept off most nature trails by force of law (not to mention disagreeable and righteous lol's and lom's in tennis shoes and/or official outdoor togs). Yes, this is laughable, but it is also pathetic. This situation/manner of manners matter is the elephant in the room that keeps the ranks of nature lovers smaller than they could be.— September 19, 2012 10:54 a.m.
DUI Makes for Bad Beach Day in O.B.
I would have liked to have seen just how the arrest went down. The cuffing officer is maybe half the weight of the suspect. Dangerous!— September 18, 2012 10:15 p.m.
Dam, Lakeside! San Vicente Reservoir Capacity to Double?
And, I hope nobody dies when the shopping centers in the San Diego River bed (euphemistically referred to as Mission "Valley") are tsunami-ed out to sea when the dam bursts or is busted by terrorists.— September 18, 2012 10:09 p.m.
Dam, Lakeside! San Vicente Reservoir Capacity to Double?
"Emergency" is spin-speak for more development. Don't forget, "Nine-tenths of the hell being raised in the world is well-intentioned." --Anon. Well intentioned, my a$$! It's just a plain old lie.— September 18, 2012 10:04 p.m.
Irwin Jacobs Goes Republican Hunting
This little playpen argument sorely needs, cries out for, substance. Some links to back up assertions would help, and so would sticking to the issues and ignoring the personal stuff. Grow up? I guess the Reader has done away with its admonishment about sticking to the issues. Well, maybe, just maybe, they could have made the statement a little less condescending, but then it might have lost its punch. Tossed out the baby with the bathwater?— September 18, 2012 9:55 p.m.
La Jolla Flash
Matt: Interesting, but it needs fleshing out for us dummies.— September 18, 2012 9:45 p.m.
Eleven San Diego youth rugby teams – safer, saner
A rugby stadium, anyone? ". . . that thing on their heads is a weapon.” It sure an' hell is. It might prevent skull fractures, but it increases the velocity and force applied to the brain. Soft helmets cushion, slow the velocity and force of the impact, while hard helmets only increase it, largely (but not entirely) because the user is protected. Soft helmets at least equalize the damage to some extent--maybe a crucial extent.— September 18, 2012 9:42 p.m.
SDGE Will Pay US $6.4 Million for 2007 Fire Damages
Don't forget Don Bauder. Time was, we didn't need no stinkin' laws, we just did what was right and took our just deserts from the community (anywhere from ostracization to a necktie) like a man/woman. What we have here is a failure to maintain social mores, and we have created a monster out of the law--which lets off the biggest criminals and punishes the littlest ones. I suppose that we have no choice but to promulgate new laws, but ain't it a pity?— September 18, 2012 9:25 p.m.
