Wow! That view is probably from NAB Coronado looking east. The one large ship on the right with the lit #1 is the USS Tarawa (LHA 1)

Doesn’t it make you feel old when all of your ships have been decomissioned?

Fox & Friends AGAIN comparing Qualcomm to Katrina/Superdome.

Ah, we have too much housing inventory along the coast anyway. The problem is, it is always those folks in Malibu that get the new houses.

Just Fox News’ inherent racial bigotry. “See? When the white people are in charge, everything goes hunky-dory.” /sarc

We experienced that smoke in 2003, during the last big series of fires. It was bad enough that schools were closed even at the beaches for a few days.

Today it’s raining in north FL. I wish I could send it to San Diego.
