HQ4 printing is finished...now it’s off to the bindery.
We’ll have new books before you know know it.

Wanna join us?

“The Republicans are worried about the flag, gay marriage and the terrible burden of the estate tax on the rich. The rest of us are obviously unnecessarily worried about war, peace, the economy, the environment and civilization. Another reason to vote Republican — they have a shorter list.”

Did you catch the Rock n Roll Marathon running thru a foggy Hillcrest yesterday morning? A flurry of excitement on University Avenue just west of the sign also occured in the afternoon after a guy suspected of having drugs resisted the SDPD. Almost a dozen city employees were needed to make the arrest.
