Ocean Beach has a colony of parrots, originally from northeast Mexico, who have decided to kick back and enjoy the Bohemian vibe and counterculture traditions of OB. I love these birds and how colorful and loud they are. When they finally showed up, I called Alexis on her cell phone. As a result of a [...]
You can gain more insight into the modern world by staring at a slab of sidewalk in Ocean Beach than you can from watching dozens of hours of television. Got it? You’re all individuals!

OK, I admit it. I don’t like the holiday season very much. I’m also not highly impressed with modern California suburbia. At the same time, maintaining a humbug attitude is neither healthy nor considerate to others.

Who said the California Dream was over? Today my cell phone jumped out of my pocket and started issuing demands. The first was that I hold it up high and push the correct series of buttons in just the right way. The result was the image you see before you, which was the view tonight [...]
To Celebrate America, let’s meditate on the words of James Madison, our fourth President and Father of the US Constitution:
“Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other.
War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes; [...]
Carmel Valley is in North County San Diego. Mostly it is a horrid plastic suburb, but there are enough open spaces left to allow air balloons to thrive. I love watching them. See the fire? You’d be surprised how loud it is.
Do you want to ride in a balloon? That’s great. Not me. They’re beautiful [...]
