In earlier life I was a bio/chem major & narrator on ships doing whale watches and harbor cruises after college - I used to joke to visitors / passengers that the nickname for San Diego is “America’s Finest City”, it’s kinda obnoxious & self-serving, but it’s true lol. I’ve always considered a blessing to live here :)

We did the whale watcher cruise when there, Hornblower cruise line I think.

Did not see any whales so they gave us free tickets for a future cruise, used those to do a harbor cruise of navy ships.

I like you a lot, Steven, but on this one you're way off base. You of all people, having been a whale narrator, should know better.

Here's what San Diego means.

Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it San Diego, which of course in German means 'a whale's vagina'.

Discovered by the Germans...

We all get it wrong sometimes.
