Here's a Bizarro cartoon from this past Tuesday.  Don't laugh. While I was in the hospital last August I shared a Get Well card with the 19-year old daughter of a friend.  She handed it back, saying "I can't read cursive".  She'll be a Junior next Fall at Cal State Northridge.

Yev Yorobe has done it again!  I know, I said that LAST time.  Here's his photo of this week's Strawberry Moon behind the cross on Mount Helix.  You really want to click HERE and see this photo enlarged.

Here's five '64 babes in a photo taken a couple of years after graduation.  Click HERE to go down the Rabbit Hole for a look back at the Colts who lived on East Falls View Drive -- and West Falls View Drive as well (I think).  Plus a recent photo of some of these ladies.

Here's another photo of the old San Diego Municipal Airport terminal, sent in by Leatha McGowan Cooksy '70.  Click HERE to see it enlarged, with some more comments from Yours Truly.

Here's a stunning color view of the harbor, taken February 1, 1969.  Everything is the same, but everything is different.  Click HERE for an enlargement and my meandering comments.
