If a tree falls in an suburban forest...
"According to neighbors, the trees receive pruning every two years, which is said to assure more reliable root stability." FALSE. There are zero competent studies to back up this contention, nor is there any theoretical foundation to support the contention. Government agencies resist any attempt to keep records that might provide useful data, so educated guesses and post-mortem analyses are about all that can be done. Few San Diego region soils are suitable for trees of any kind, and adequate anchorage, while theoretically possible in some soils and geologic formations (e.g. alluvial), the taller they are, the more likely they are to fall. Exactly the ones "the public" is most likely to want to "save." Even "native" trees can fall, and while one in OB is in great danger of falling, citizens succeeded in preventing its removal by the City's urban forester. I hope the good citizens of OB will accept liability when the tree they "saved" kills someone and destroys property, which it will, sooner or later. Most tree problems are caused by too much water and fertilizer, which overstimulates growth, meaning long, heavy branches high in the air--moment arms in terms of physics. Even relatively small limbs can, and have, killed people. Neither God nor Nature is responsible for planting such trees in the wrong places, but God continues to be blamed in the courts.— February 18, 2015 2:52 a.m.

Chargers stadium task force "packed"
I ain't no lawyer, but I suspect that a good one could make the case that if any taxpayer money was used in any way, directly or indirectly, in support of the "Task Force," the Brown Act would apply.— February 4, 2015 1:30 a.m.
Chargers stadium task force "packed"
I have been "on" "Task Forces," "Boards," and "Committees, and I have yet to see one that pursued the facts to any sort of logical conclusion. They were all window-dressing, all merely fronts to rubber-stamp what the powers-that-be want. I would not waste my time being "on" any such committee, and, to the extent that my health permitted, I would demonstrating OUTSIDE of such fraudulent circuses. The only way I might do so was to be a mole, putting on the airs that would make me appear to be a "go along, get along" kinda person, so I could feed intelligence and gather evidence. This "Task Force" will meet in secret, with no media present. What's that tell you?— February 2, 2015 6:53 p.m.

Where the football fanatics live
It ain't for nutthin' that "fan" is short for fanatic! And it ain't for nuttin' that fanatic rhymes with pathetic . . . Fans are so short on self respect and other content that they fill the void with fantasies that "greatness" will rub off on them.— February 1, 2015 1:42 a.m.
