San Diego fish eat our sunblock, deodorant, and Valium

Great article, long, but very interesting. When I read this I am reminded of how we need to continually take steps to curb pollution from polluting the very fish we eat and soon water that we will be drinking (desal plant) in Carlsbad. It is interesting that DDT showed up in the highest recorded amounts considering that it was banned in the US in the 70's - but is still manufactured in Mexico.

My husband is slowly falling in love with San Diego

Great story, I really enjoyed it. I moved here from CT 9 years ago. I can't figure out why the other posts are so hostile. If you have enough money it can be a dream to live here or while going to college. Over the long haul, I'm not sure. A lot of people fall into the SD trap of low wages and expensive apartment living. Good luck and keep writing.

Ticks-ident

I'm from CT and I didn't realize how bad they are on MV. I always avoid tall or any grass. If I have to go through it I wear light or white cloths and tuck my pants into my shoes. Can also wear high boots and apply heavy-duty clothing-only tick replant. Better then getting Lime diease.

Gut Deep

I heard on monday that there would be layoffs the next day. Yesterday, I too got laid off along with ~ 200 other people at my location at Cardinal Health. I too did not know what to do on a Tuesday afternoon. Today (wed) I have put away most of my stuff from work. Good luck to you and everyone else dealing with this situation. Paul

Extraordinary Desserts

Date Visited: 03-15-08, Sat afternoon. Restaurant: Karen Krasne Extraordinary Desserts http://www.extraordinarydesserts.com Very expensive. I read several positive reviews online somewhere. The good: The place is very cool looking inside and out - especially the giant door. Lots of fashionable "east village" type people. Good atmosphere. Food looks really nice and service is good. Place seemed to be well staffed. The Bad: 1. price - I understand the rent on the place is probably over 10,000 a month. So I understand the price of the food must reflect that cost. I ordered 12 chocolate chip @ $2.50 each and tiramisu cake with a scoop of ice cream $12.00! I asked for a discount on the cookies since I was buying a dozen for a party I was told I could only get the discount if I ordered in advance. So the cookies + dessert was ~ $45. Appearance: was great very nicely displayed!! but... Taste: The tiramisu cake was made in a different style and it and the cookies both had a strange after taste almost like mothballs. My own run-of-the-mill chocolate chip cookies would blow there cookies away any day. When i make cookies and bring them to an event, if I blink the plate is empty. Not so with these cookies. Left over cookies: At the end of the night 35 people were unable to finish the cookies and we all know how fast chocolate chip cookies disappear especially at a party but not these cookies. That tells you how people felt about the cookies. Also, someone made tiramisu cake and brought it to the pot luck party and it did not look very good but when I tasted much better then what I had just paid $12 for! Closing: worth a visit but be very cautious about what you order. Order a single cookie or ask for a sample then decide. Too bad because the place looks classy and I was excited to taste top quality gourmet dessert.
