Smelled something burning could not figure out what, then a flash of flame shot out of the baseboard heater. Thermostat is set to off,so no idea why it was on. It tripped the breaker so seems to be off now.
Glad we were home, and glad the breaker did its job.

With some of those pointy towers, looks almost like San Diego was trying to be the 80s version of Vancouver's role 'enough interesting architecture to be CGI'd (then matte-painting'd) into alien planetscape'...

I used to have a postcard that captured it perfectly from a trip there in 1978.
But this is the best I can find now.

This was funny.
Footballer alive and well despite amateur club's report of his death
Footballer alive and well despite amateur club's report of his death
Ballybrack FC had informed the Leinster Senior League (LSL) side that Fernando Nuno La-Fuente had been killed in a motorcycle accident. Their game against Arklow Town on Saturday was postponed, with a minute’s silence held before the league’s other fixtures....

Because of height limitations, San Diego can't have any buildings exceed 500 feet, this is due to FAA rules due to the proximity of the airport to downtown as well as Naval Airfield across the bay. Start the video at the 5:20 mark and you can see how close downtown is when landing.
A view of the downtown core, the other photo is the end of downtown where its mostly hotels,convention center and ball park.

There are also places in San Diego were some of the original cemeteries have been lost to time.......

In Old Town if you go to a certain street, you will see little bronze markers that say grave site.
The Spirit of St. Louis the aircraft Charles Lindbergh flew across the Atlantic was built in San Diego as well.

If we are approved and can come up with the deposit money, we might be able to move into a lower rent place in February, would save $250 a month in rent if we are able to.

This is a quite poignant but depressing article. To think that someone actually uses a phone as a phone.
I use a mobile for work exclusively and give out that # now for new personal contacts. As a result, this month has been 1800 odd minutes of cell phone usage and about 180 texts (Imessage texts don't count) but the amount of mis-understanding and mis-communication that goes on via text only conversations is staggering.
I do find younger people who call me don't leave a voice mail. My motto is if you can't be bothered to leave a message it can't have been that important. Often times when I call someone and leave a message they call back a few minutes later with 'you called" without having listened to the message. Is it that difficult to listen to a voice mail, absorb the information and if required respond with further information.

I hardly ever answer the phone. I dont have friends and my family rarely calls. I dont text much either although my wife texts her mom.
We are 15 days into our billing cycle and have used the phone for talking 23 mins.
35 text sent.
500mb of data used.
Sometimes I wonder why we even keep a phone. Lol
