The Driveway
As my boyfriend and I loaded furniture into our newly purchased home about a year and a half ago, we immediately noticed the trailer parked near our driveway. It was a definite eye sore, but we didn't really notice it …

Aguirre : The People's Choice
So I keep seeing this theme emerge in the media. They keep doing stories on how this or that candidate raised sooo much money as if that means the people love them. Since when is the fact that special interests …
Just stuff
This is not a good year for San Diego sports fans. The only place that looks good is USD football. They are 6-1. The aztecs football team is just the opposite, 1-7. The Padres fielded AAA players for the end …
Proposition A
We certainly need better fire protection in San Diego County. Devastating wild fires are more likely to increase in intensity and damage in our region as a result of climate change and development of rural areas. When you allow developers …
I'm a Pepper, You're a Pepper, She's a....Mrs. Fierce?
A few idiotic musician stories that I head over the weekend. Axl Rose is finally going to release Chinese Democracy (and I'm sure it won't be half as good as local boy Steve Poltz' Chinese Vacation from a few years …
Love this place....
Jan Goldsmith: Who's Behind Him and Why?
Growing up in San Diego I have learned to be suspicious of everything, and when I saw how fast Jan Goldsmith appeared on the scene for the city attorney race alarms went off all over the place! Immediately, I logged …
Jack hearts Todd
Jack McGrory was Susan Golding's hand picked City Manager. More than any other individual, Jack McGrory is responsible for putting us into the mess we find ourselves in today. He's the original architect of the pension fraud, the Chargers ticket …
Jack in ze Box...Schnell!!
Whenever I decide I'm going to eat well for the day (usually after spending the previous two or three days eating nothing but junk), it always turns out to be a bust. I went to Jack in the Box in …
wind blowin
Don’t be scared, the extraterrestrials in our neighborhood are friendly. This was written on the folded up paper on the sidewalk outside my apartment on Kansas Street in North Park. I thought a neighbor dropped it on the walk by …
Cinema Valore - Intermission - Paul Newman
I did a blog on Paul Newman a few days after he passed away, but hey, Letterman the other night, told a great Newman story again. And, this is getting Ken in on the act, and talking about Newman in …
B for Barack
So, I hear this story about a woman in Pittsburgh being attacked because she has a McCain bumper sticker. My first thought is how I've told countless people (both Democrats and Republicans), that they're idiots to have bumper stickers on …
An Average Day
Politics & the economy
"Election Day Could Become 'Nightmare'". This quote is compliments of an AP story, usurped by AOL. It smacks of irresponible journalism. For years the US populace has failed miserably in showing up to vote. The system is now allowing vote …
American EXPRESS -- The Race Card. Don't Leave Home Without It.
I saw the movie "The Express." Now, my friends complain that I don't like any movie. Which isn't true. I just don't like crappy movies. Which basically means, yeah, I don't like most movies. I saw The Express, and wasn't …
CA Ballot Propositions and Normal Heights
Proposition 1A: While this proposition proposes "safe and reliable" high-speed rail, what it delivers is an expensive bailout to our unsafe and unreliable nationalized train services. Yes, we do need better transportation in California. But this massive outlay during a …
Where in the world is San Carlos
Straight Minority
Homeless
This is the last one, but I cannot resist commenting on the fashions worn by Craig Sager. The paisley purple tie made a return appearance. This time with a blue/white striped jacket that reminded me of a circus ringmaster. With …
