Wow. Methamphetamine, cocaine, brown heroin, white heroin...hmmm, oh, that's right -- classes are resuming at San Diego State.
I told a friend from Up North that we have Snow Days in San Diego, too, when a lot of snow comes in from Ecuador, and you have to stay off the streets because so many drivers are so high.
