Dinner Cruise with Pete Rose -- 07/08/16 at Hornblower Dinner Cruises
No links work and no Pete Rose anywhere at any Hornblower site. Is it cancelled?

Sharks rampage in La Jolla
As I said, anglers support the research that protects the fisheries. How many folks cried when researchers asked anglers for white seabass heads? Here is a part of a flyer by a researcher concerning thresher sharks to anglers and how we, as stewards of the environment, can help. "**In the search for thresher sharks - Laura M. Steele** *Young common thresher and salmon sharks have been stranding throughout the beaches of the West Coast due to a bacterial brain infection. The Shark Lab at CSULB is looking for healthy thresher and salmon sharks to study where this bacteria is coming from and how it’s getting into their brain. For that we need to sample: • Brain, inner ear, liver and spiral valve • Embryos from pregnant female thresher and salmon sharks We need the help of anglers who are willing to let us sample their catches. If you would like to collaborate we will meet you at your convenience and dispose of the shark’s remains. We will also clean and send you the jaws in sign of appreciation! Thanks for your collaboration! I am looking for brain and inner ear, so if the whole head can be preserved that would be great. Also the spiral valve (the last part of the intestine), if you are able to put this organ in a bag so the content doesn’t spill, great! Lastly, we need a chunk of the liver. All this can be put in a bag and frozen until I can come get it."*

Sharks rampage in La Jolla
I'm a liberal, right? I care about the environment, I respect life and nature, and I legally take fish. The anglers, for the most part, are conservationists that are concerned about the health of the fishery. The headline, by the way, is just fishing nomenclature; it means "they're going off". It does not mean, to any angler in the know, that the sharks are angrily running amuck. How can folks be so daft? As long as studies show that taking a thresher is not harmful to their overall existence and they are not protected, they will be fished. It is not all that dangerous if you know what you are doing. As the author said, it had 'rolled' by the time he got it to the yak. Though I do not intentionally fish for them, they can be by-catch. If they roll, it is hard to revive them. Better to keep the meat than waste the fish. Better to get them in and remove the hook if releasing them. I suppose there will always be those that like to scream about stuff. Especially when we've turned politics into something akin to a WWF cage-match and laud idiots with no clue of reality while we 'rampage' on every 'misleading' headline. When anglers holler "they're boiling", the fish are not on the stove becoming soup stock. When we say "they're frothing", the fish do not have rabies. When we get 'hit', the fish did not punch us. Get a grip.

Knucklebusters
Tables for vendors are 30 bucks and the rooms for the 'pre sale/barter' are through the motel. The public is invited to the sale on Saturday when Mr. Farrior will be there and I believe there is no admission charge. .

Suspicious abandoned Jet Ski found drifting near border

$250k raised, lifeguard project stopped
Do the "citizens" even know what they are talking about? It is not really all that difficult or expensive to run the plans through plan check again. Sounds like a lawyer drumming up a job out of nothing by inciting a mob and stopping progress, again. If they got their permit 7 years ago, why were they not required to obtain extensions? Why did it take so long to start the project? Previous lawsuits? The codes and zoning laws have not changed much in the past 7 years, so what's the real story?

Who can afford a house in California?
In 1960, the average blue-collar worker earned 5-6k a year. The average house in San Diego was 10-12k. The average rent on that same 2br house was 100 a month. All other costs, food, (except milk, which only rose merely 200% due to subsidies) fuel and utilities rose 1,000%, or tenfold. Medical costs were relatively low (147 per capita then compared to 8,402 now) and thus, most employers could offer decent health insurance at low prices.10% down and 10% interest were common offerings for home mortgages, but like my grandparents, many saved for a few years (they saved for five years on 2.80 an hour, or 5,600 a year total income while renting) and paid cash. Try that now...Thank you house-flippers and greedy folk! And quit telling me it's easy, grandpa...you baby-boomers were the only true middle-class with a shot.

Another shortbill spearfish in San Diego waters
Not sure why, Carl, did it show up online? What was the entry, maybe I can help? I am a freelance contributing editor...if it is a story, it may not have been posted yet, or they may be using it for print.

Sharks rampage in La Jolla
As I said, anglers support the research that protects the fisheries. How many folks cried when researchers asked anglers for white seabass heads? Here is a part of a flyer by a researcher concerning thresher sharks to anglers and how we, as stewards of the environment, can help. "**In the search for thresher sharks - Laura M. Steele** *Young common thresher and salmon sharks have been stranding throughout the beaches of the West Coast due to a bacterial brain infection. The Shark Lab at CSULB is looking for healthy thresher and salmon sharks to study where this bacteria is coming from and how it’s getting into their brain. For that we need to sample: • Brain, inner ear, liver and spiral valve • Embryos from pregnant female thresher and salmon sharks We need the help of anglers who are willing to let us sample their catches. If you would like to collaborate we will meet you at your convenience and dispose of the shark’s remains. We will also clean and send you the jaws in sign of appreciation! Thanks for your collaboration! I am looking for brain and inner ear, so if the whole head can be preserved that would be great. Also the spiral valve (the last part of the intestine), if you are able to put this organ in a bag so the content doesn’t spill, great! Lastly, we need a chunk of the liver. All this can be put in a bag and frozen until I can come get it."*— May 24, 2016 12:01 p.m.
Sharks rampage in La Jolla
I'm a liberal, right? I care about the environment, I respect life and nature, and I legally take fish. The anglers, for the most part, are conservationists that are concerned about the health of the fishery. The headline, by the way, is just fishing nomenclature; it means "they're going off". It does not mean, to any angler in the know, that the sharks are angrily running amuck. How can folks be so daft? As long as studies show that taking a thresher is not harmful to their overall existence and they are not protected, they will be fished. It is not all that dangerous if you know what you are doing. As the author said, it had 'rolled' by the time he got it to the yak. Though I do not intentionally fish for them, they can be by-catch. If they roll, it is hard to revive them. Better to keep the meat than waste the fish. Better to get them in and remove the hook if releasing them. I suppose there will always be those that like to scream about stuff. Especially when we've turned politics into something akin to a WWF cage-match and laud idiots with no clue of reality while we 'rampage' on every 'misleading' headline. When anglers holler "they're boiling", the fish are not on the stove becoming soup stock. When we say "they're frothing", the fish do not have rabies. When we get 'hit', the fish did not punch us. Get a grip.— May 24, 2016 6:04 a.m.
Knucklebusters
Tables for vendors are 30 bucks and the rooms for the 'pre sale/barter' are through the motel. The public is invited to the sale on Saturday when Mr. Farrior will be there and I believe there is no admission charge. .— February 4, 2016 5:28 p.m.
Suspicious abandoned Jet Ski found drifting near border

$250k raised, lifeguard project stopped
Do the "citizens" even know what they are talking about? It is not really all that difficult or expensive to run the plans through plan check again. Sounds like a lawyer drumming up a job out of nothing by inciting a mob and stopping progress, again. If they got their permit 7 years ago, why were they not required to obtain extensions? Why did it take so long to start the project? Previous lawsuits? The codes and zoning laws have not changed much in the past 7 years, so what's the real story?— October 6, 2015 6:11 a.m.
Who can afford a house in California?
In 1960, the average blue-collar worker earned 5-6k a year. The average house in San Diego was 10-12k. The average rent on that same 2br house was 100 a month. All other costs, food, (except milk, which only rose merely 200% due to subsidies) fuel and utilities rose 1,000%, or tenfold. Medical costs were relatively low (147 per capita then compared to 8,402 now) and thus, most employers could offer decent health insurance at low prices.10% down and 10% interest were common offerings for home mortgages, but like my grandparents, many saved for a few years (they saved for five years on 2.80 an hour, or 5,600 a year total income while renting) and paid cash. Try that now...Thank you house-flippers and greedy folk! And quit telling me it's easy, grandpa...you baby-boomers were the only true middle-class with a shot.— August 31, 2015 7:12 a.m.
Another shortbill spearfish in San Diego waters
Not sure why, Carl, did it show up online? What was the entry, maybe I can help? I am a freelance contributing editor...if it is a story, it may not have been posted yet, or they may be using it for print.— August 28, 2015 10:04 a.m.
