Gas Pump in Question
"I've worked at three gas stations since I was 16" posted by Pistol Pete. Your lifelong ambition is to work at a gas station and I'm the dork? Just joking with you Pete because I disagree with your critique of the author. Apparently you missed the fact that I am admitting to every San Diego Reader that I was incorrect in my accusation. In doing so, I hope that I may have conveyed a few ideas. 1. Inform others of my results regarding the investigation. 2. Encourage others to act if they feel wronged. It is easy to do nothing because you think that you won't be heard. 3. Restore a little faith in our government. Within 2 days of receiving my complaint, the investigation was completed. I am really satisfied with the swift taken by the California Weights And Measures. As I was hanging up the phone, the investigator said that I should not hesitate to contact them if the need arises. I have never filled up at a gas station and pumped more than what my tank was "rated" at. Therefore, I feel that my complaint was valid. The cashier's rude actions seemed to solidfy that claim for me. Surf Puppy, I feel that your analogy is not nearly the same situation. However, it is entirely possible that I am a loon:)— November 16, 2009 7:59 p.m.
Pirate Prostitutes
Pirate Prostitutes. Gives new meaning to "Thar She Blows".— November 14, 2009 3:10 p.m.
Canners' Crisis
Excerpt from the governor's response to the veto. "Additionally, subsequent legislation on this issue should contain provisions that prohibit any additional loans to the General Fund in the future and require the General Fund to repay past loans from this program." Essentially he is saying don't let anyone else do what I have done.— November 13, 2009 11:13 p.m.
Good Press
Great customer service! I do wonder however, if the reason Jorge did what he did is because you spent or were planning to spend a high dollar amount in his jewelry store.— November 13, 2009 11:08 p.m.
Women Talk A Lot?, Proofing Booze
"As it turns out, the minimum alcohol content that allowed gunpowder to burn was 57.15 percent, known then and now as 100 proof." Don't know if it was different in the past, but now 57.15% would be 114.3 proof.— November 13, 2009 11:03 p.m.
Broken Yolk Café
I have eaten at the PB location and always enjoyed the food. However, have not eaten there in years because the prices went up considerably. My girlfriend and I each had a coupon for free strawberry waffles. Actually, I really don't like waffles at all, but because it was free I ordered. First of all we were both surprised that there was only 1 waffle on our plates, however, it seemed larger than average. I am very happy to say that it was the best waffle that I ever tasted. However, I would not pay the regular price of $8. Just like PB, this location was busy (Friday morning) and it did take some time for a waiter to take our orders. In fact I had to ask a busser to find our waiter. Turns out he was very near us and it looked like he was having a conversation rather than being busy. During the course of our meal, several people did come by to ask how the meal was and if we needed anything.— November 13, 2009 10:40 p.m.
Wine Snobs
I enjoyed the various definitions of a snob.— November 13, 2009 10:29 p.m.
Poor Pauly
I debated whether or not I would comment on this because I did not want it to seem that I was yanking my own chain. It is my intent that this will inspire readers to help others who are less fortunate than them. My girlfriend and I went to find Pauly over the weekend to invite him to our place for the night. He didn't want to go but after a little coaxing he hopped in our car. We made dinner for him, allowed him to take a shower, gave him some clothing and put a few dollars in his pocket. Pauly is a fun guy with a big heart!— November 4, 2009 10:44 a.m.

Phone Rescued
Actually a man that was with her told her not to turn it on because she could get electrocuted. After telling her he was just joking, he said that if she lets it dry out for 3 days, it should work just fine.— November 4, 2009 9:51 a.m.
