How about some Rat-a-too-ee?
Wednesday, August 5 at dusk — Join the fun for
the 3rd annual Movie on the Roof of Whole Foods Market
(University & 7th) as Hillcrest’s
Whole Foods Market converts their rooftop parking lot into an
outdoor theatre for a showing of the animated movie Ratatouille. The Oscar winning film depicts a
culinarily gifted mouse who guides a human to become a successful chef.
The “Movie on the Roof” series is sponsored by Whole Foods Market and
the Hillcrest
History Guild. Families and friends are invited to this free
community event under the Hillcrest stars — it’s almost like a
drive in. Complimentary snacks and beverages will be provided, and the
store’s catering department will offer ratatouille samples and meals
for purchase. With no seating provided, moviegoers are encouraged to
bring folding chairs and/or blankets to the twilight screening set to
begin at approximately 8pm. For more details call the Hillcrest
History Guild at (619) 260-1929.

“I am so surprised that San Diego County
is still granting permits to put in new pools. Why is that still going
on? Why are we advised to limit usage of our sprinklers to three days a
week and shorten our showers while so many homeowners with pools are
responsible for consuming/wasting 10,000 to 15,000 gallons per year?”

“In the seven years since Diann Shipione
blew the whistle on the underfunding of San Diego’s public employee
pension system, City Hall has been marked by periods of indifference
and belittlement of our mounting fiscal woes.”

San Diego avoiding tough decisions

“We have room for improvement. Take
shorter showers, don't leave the water running while brushing our
teeth, prepping food or doing dishes, water the potted plants less
often and for shorter durations. Try to keep the water in the pool not
all over the patio when we're swimming and playing fetch with the dog.”

“Clearly when the law was passed the cover
was cancer, glaucoma — real distinct health issues. We're not there
anymore. Quite frankly, I might benefit from a card. This is a
high-stress job. It
would probably do me good to go home and smoke some pot in the evening.”
