Beautiful weekend (but the coast was foggy).
< The Outback blimp cruised our skies for the Buick Open.
Enjoy the weather the next couple of days, ’cause rain’s in the forecast for midweek. Please save water and leave those sprinklers turned off.

“We didn't have the right skills, the right capacity,
to deal with a reconstruction effort of this kind.”
Protests nationwide: D.C. Florida Kentucky Washington
Keep your money in your pocket today.
Not One Damn Dime is about supporting the troops. The politicians put the troops in harm’s way. Now 1,200+ brave young Americans and (some estimated) 100,000 Iraqis have died. The politicians owe our troops a plan — a way to come home.
There’s no rally to attend. No marching to do. No left or right wing agenda to rant about. On “Not One Damn Dime Day” you take action by doing nothing. You open your mouth by keeping your wallet closed. For 24 hours, nothing gets spent, not one damn dime, to remind our religious leaders and our politicians of their moral responsibility to end the war in Iraq and give America back to the people.
...also this evening: Mass Street Theatre Action: this form of protest originated in Argentina where marchers bang pots and pans to show their anger.

| What was the
lowest point in SD’s history? Could it be in 1921 when Mayor Louis J. Wilde was driven from office under a cloud of scandal. Even the Prince of Wales couldn’t rescue him. Or how about Mayor Roger Hedgecock? |
| The
Quince Street Bridge, which celebrates its 100th anniversary this year, is a white wooden
trestle that crosses Maple Canyon just west of Fourth Avenue in Park West. The design was popular in railroad construction in 1905. The original builders spent $805 to put it up, would be aghast to hear that a renovation in 1990 cost $250,000. |
