A belated Saint Paddy's Day to ya.  This came from my classmate Marcia Lame Schneider



Whatever happened to the boat being built on the triangular lot south of Horace Mann in the 1950s?  Bob Schriebman says he has the answer:  It rained for 40 days and 40 nights and -- well, you know the rest.  Tom Cassie and Larry Slayen both were of the opinion that the builder was the father of our classmate Paul Janicki.



John McGuigan saw the Flying Ship mirage photo and shared one of his own showing the Flying Coronado Islands.  I always thought the island on the right looked like the bison on a Buffalo Nickel.




This photo by Howard Lipin was part of an article in Saturday's UT about recent mysterious booms in the area.  I didn't actually read the article so I'm not sure what this photo had to do with booms.  I just really liked the shot.  I'm guessing it was taken from Mount Soledad.  You can see Table Top Mountain in Mexico, downtown San Diego, and a whole lot of fog pouring in from the coast.
