Baseball
Here we go Padres Here we go. Baseball is in the air. Opening Day is approaching. I have my tickets and am ready to go. Speaking of tickets, the Padres organization made a truly bonehead decision in printing the season …
C is for Cookie
My girlfriend brought me a supply of Coke Zero the other day. I realized I was drinking so much soda, it couldn't be good. I've tried diet sodas, and they were disgusting. But Coke Zero tastes a lot better. It …
Memories of Analog TV: The 70s
Memories of Analog TV: The 70s The 70s were a groovy time for TV when I was growing up from childhood to my late teens. There were game shows, variety shows, sitcoms, comedies, reruns from the previous decades, sketch shows, …
Music Notes...Metallica, Michael Jackson, and a Monkee in the Middle
I turned on my computer, and a story popped up about Metallica singer James Hetfield checking into a hospital for "dehydration." It's funny that musicians always suffer from that and "exhaustion." Yet, you never hear about a guy working for …
Sunday Evening Sunset
Sunsets in Ocean Beach are often quite beautiful, and usually attract a crowd. Here's a recent sunset at 30 times normal speed, which crams the day's final 30 minutes of sunlight into 1 minute of viewing time.
Confusion in Otay Mesa
Die Doing What You Love -- And Criminals that Die Trying
My girlfriend and I were having a nice dinner in Point Loma at Miguel's. As we walked in, I laughed about a few things. When we ate here with my parents once, we wondered if this was a chain, since …
WHY??
Questions from the brain of an experienced WHYner. Why is the sky blue?? Had to start with that one as it is the one most quoted! Why, when watching a rented/on demand movie do they have the information that the …
Tijuana/San Diego buses #2
Waiting for the number thirty bus heading downtown near the corner of Mission and Turquoise in Pacific Beach can be an interesting time. Gator and his buddies are usually around and always open to stimulating conversation. Then there are the …
B.B. King vs BB Guns
My older brother gives me crap for having a small dog (among other things). And, I started thinking about it. My two older brothers always liked the things guys are supposed to like. I didn't. That doesn't mean I was …
El Cajoots
Alas, El Cajon, I have hardly gotten the chance to know you. It was only a couple months ago that I showed up, with a trunk full of luggage, to make this character-clad environment my home, and now it seems …
Stimulating
Today's Washington Post contains an article on the budget, written by Michael Gerson, in which he states: "And then came the budget--idealogically ambitious, politically ruthless and radical to its core". Those are some pretty harsh words. He sounds a lot …
Fast Food Wrappers vs Gangsta Rappers
I'm sure everyone saw this crazy black lady that called 911 because she didn't get her Chicken McNuggets at McDonald's. The funniest comments on this came from late-night syndicated radio DJ Phil Hendry. He did a fake interview with a …
"...and then he walked away?"
Most people come home every weekend (and/or weekday) night in a drunken stupor rambling about the hot stud Harry that they met at the bar. Once your home, you ransack any and all cameras that MIGHT have been brought to …
Tide Pools on Sunset Cliffs
Walk a couple hundred yards south of the Ocean Beach pier and you'll find yourself at the start of Sunset Cliffs. The cliffs are usually quite walkable, except during the highest tides, and always offer a chance to get up …
Cheap Trick and The Roots
You know what yesterday was? Well, it was Square Root Day, of course (kind of a cheap trick using the band name The Roots in the title...I figured I'd sucker in a few fans of that band). I don't know …
Drug Busts at Schools
I remember when the story came out about 6 months ago. I forgot all the details, but it involved a principal at some school confiscating a kids beeper or cell phone. I guess it was a cell phone. Nobody really …
Smoke gets in your eyes
Sunday night there was a movie on CBS: Jesse Stone, On Thin Ice. This is the 4th in a series adapted from books written by Robert B Parker (author of Spenser). Tom Selleck is Jesse Stone. It was pretty good …
Random Thoughts
from sandiegoradionews.com: Is Sophie planning to flip to Amp Radio? Will 91X get a new morning show partner? Will we get to hear the regular season Padres on Walrus 105.7 FM this year? Could Clear Channel radio be thinking about …
Coffee From Heaven
For the second week in a row, the Tyler Perry movie is number one at the box office. I can't believe that. Is our society so insane that they frequent such crappy entertainment? And, I heard someone on the radio …
