I'm not convinced that tourists come to see the Sports Arena anyway. Most visit Seaworld and the Gaslamp and other attractions. Wake me up when they change "Pacific Beach" to "Jack-in-the-Box Beach", otherwise, I think the tourist-confused angle is a dirtnap. Call the Sports Arena whatever you want, and in my opinion it's great that someone gets revenue for it. Tourists want to see Shamu. Seriously. Apparently killer whales are all the rage.

Tijuana Dreaming

(Reader_Admin: Please don't delete this comment, at least until Mr. Rangel has an opportunity to read it.) John, When Admin fixed your last entry, Admin deleted a couple of comments that might have been helpful. Admin suggested that you simply type your story into the interface on the Reader web page. I know why you won't do that, so I'll offer a go-around. To be fair to Admin, the Reader has a fine interface, I have no complaints, but I do have some practical experience in both writing and publishing online stuff. I know that places like where you live are often lucky just to have electricity, much less telephone line access or ADSL. When I first moved here, no one had a telephone, there weren't any lines. I wrote at home offline, saved to a diskette, and found someplace that charged for internet. Also, I write a lot. I bet that you do as well. We fall in love with our word processing programs. Except for comments here, for example, I write all of my stories and articles in MS Word '97. I don't want a newer or older version, or anything different. I have used newer, older, and other products dating all of the way back to Wordstar (yes, I'm really old). Even if you had internet access out there, I bet you would still use whatever you're using. I totally understand. Best solution takes an extra step, but it works swimmingly. Get a free blogging account (I recommend livejournal.com because it works). Copy and paste your text into that blog account you've created. In Livejournal, you can publish everything privately, so there's no need to worry about it being seen on the internet. Once you publish it in that blog, then you can edit your story, copy it, and paste it right into the Reader. The unseen code in your word processing program will have disappeared (the code in Livejournal's interface handles it automatically and tosses nefarious code aside; other interfaces may not). Your story will publish here properly. After a few times, you'll find that the extra step doesn't take so long.

The Greek Apprentice

"Bass clefts"? Sounds much more interesting than a bass clef (or "F" clef"). I reckon it's okay to blame that on the effects of the dong bong.

Letters

Re: "Not James" Whether it's "James" or "Didacus", the more research one does, it becomes apparent that this question of namesake is likely a minor issue. The first issue you'll encounter when using multiple texts for reference, is that Vizcaíno's date of entering (and by some accounts, naming) San Diego vary. I've read November 10th, November 12th, December 17th, it goes on and on. Regardless, there are issues in any case with any date. November 12th is the most common date referenced, presumably because the feast day for Saint Didacus is on November 12th. Unfortunately for historians, when Didacus was canonized in 1588, his feast day was celebrated on November 13th by all Catholics (other than Franciscans) because the feast day of Pope Saint Martin I was occupying the actual day of the death of Didacus. That date wasn't officially changed until 1969, when the Catholic Church moved St. Martin's feast day to sometime in April. I believe that the priests attached to Vizcaíno's expedition were Carmelites, and as such, would have celebrated the feast of Saint Didacus on November 13th. A more plausible explanation might reside behind the name of Vizcaíno's flagship, the San Diego. I can find no reliable data for when the San Diego was built, which could lend a further clue as to the name origin, but the timing seems to be in favor of the ship being named after a freshly canonized Catholic. However, since there was no Spanish translation of the bible used by any order of Catholics in 1602, Saint James would have more likely been Saint Iacomus in any reference, leaving - in this case - Saint Didacus as the probable root of San Diego. Presuming that Spanish priests, on their own, decided to offer their own translations out of Latin is quite a stretch. The only reasonable justification for using Didacus as a possible translation for James would be so as to not confuse him with any of the other Saint James, but I suspect not because the Spaniards commonly referred to him as "de Alcalá" which would automatically differentiate. Santiago is, indeed, Spanish for James in translated Bibles, but Spanish etymology isn't so simple as it is in other languages. In English, one word often means several things, where in Spanish you can find several words (all with different origins) that mean the same thing. The problem is in trying to figure out what those words meant in 1602.

Escondido Hears About Lake Elsinore’s Ballpark Experience

Re #3: The Padres were not fighting for a "pennant", they were attempting to either win the NL West or the NL Wild Card. Winning the pennant is an outdated term. Attendance was down all over baseball - except for the big market teams, the down economy looks like the apparent culprit. The predictions for attendance in Escondido have been absurdly high, I have heard 7,000 - 8,000 which will not happen. I can't think of a single good reason that the City of Escondido should want to build a stadium.

Notes From A Second-Story Window

John, No, not in a couple of months. I'm supposed to go over there tomorrow. Things changing again? I'll be walking. Now you've made me quite curious...

New San Diego City Ordinance to Lockout Big-Box Stores

I don't do much shopping at Walmart (yes, they have them here in Baja). I enjoy patronizing small stores because they often have better produce and meat. It isn't because I have some obligation to support local small business, because I do not. No one is obligated to do that. Passing ordinances to support such an obligation is frighteningly shallow and smacks of protectionism; it is economically unsound. Imagine the time when people rode horses and horses pulled buggies. Someone came up with the idea for the automobile. Eventually, it put the buggy whip manufacturers out of business. I reckon that we would still have buggy whip manufacturers if only the cities would have passed ordinances that prohibited the selling of automobiles. But the people who once manufactured buggy whips survived. Some went into business manufacturing upholstery, others selling hand-cranks, and so on. This is called creative destruction. Horses made themselves useful in other ways, and so did the people who once manufactured buggy whips. There are plenty of things that can't be purchased at Walmart and many services that can be provided better than does Walmart. If small business needs to be protected from Walmart, then small business is a loser and doesn't deserve the protection.

Price Slashes, Improved Team Haven't Helped Padres

Don: Rather than to continue to remind San Diego how Moores screwed the City of San Diego (with the blessings and assistance of the elected officials of the City of San Diego), why not enlighten everyone by researching and presenting the deal that Moorad made when he agreed to buy out Moores and have that transaction completed by 2014? Stale bread is, well, stale. Fresh bread is, you know, fresh. Also, your take on next season discounts on tickets would be appreciated (U-T, today's edition). Seems to me that the new ownership of the Padres are doing things the right way; but then of course, I don't want to see PETCO bulldozed and I get the feeling that some would thoroughly enjoy that. Sometimes I get the feeling that the idea of the complete and utter failure of the Padres causes many who enjoy this blog and your column to jump for joy. I'd go into the baby and the bathwater thing, if I thought it would help.

Acme K9 Services: Bruce, I miss you so....

Why wasn't the damned dog put away? Why do people who own dogs that bite insist on letting them run free? And you honestly don't know whose fault this was? Are you serious?
