July 18, 2025


Greetings from Novellus Clairemont. I had this picture taken a couple of weeks ago after a haircut* and thought I looked presentable.

This headline from yesterday's UT is part of what I hate about getting old.  I don't know if Eswatini is a country or a new form of purgatory.  And I'm not gonna bother trying to find out.

Two idiots got 4 years and a few months in prison for chopping down a national landmark. What caught MY eye was "a lawyer specializing in tree law."  Who knew?

"But I gotta go NOW!!"  This snippet an article in the September 8, 1957 San Diego Union jumped out at me.  I believe San Diego plumbers were on strike at the time.  Does anyone out there remember this?

Here's another article I ran across, from the January 21, 1958.  Click HERE to read what 6 Colts think about gifted programs.

The '64 lunch group is getting bigger and bigger.  Not the waist-lines (well -- maybe), but the number of people in attendance.  Looks like Larry Okmin arrived late and had to eat standing up.  True Foods Kitchen in Fashion Valley is their designated venue.  It looks to me like Joan Clark didn't finish her broccoli.  Click HERE for a BIG picture (I made it 15") and a rumination on my part.

Ya gotta love this vintage shot of Highway 101 in Encinitas.  The La Paloma Theater hasn't changed a bit.  Click HERE for a larger view and some comments.

* "Haircut -- It looks like he got 'em ALL cut!"  (Drum roll please)
