Sentences for defense, loan modification scams
I'll speculate that there are some eternal beings traipsing around in that prison in the wee hours. We have Fort Knox up here, (about 125 miles north of Portland) a pre-Civil War era monstrosity that was built after the War of 1812 to stave off the third British incursion that never materialized. We took our daughter there a couple of years ago, and it was definitely a spectral experience. Perhaps the fact that it was a haunted house Halloween event shaded the perception that it was indeed "occupied". There have been many reports of paranormal activity there. http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2013/may/2…— May 23, 2013 11:27 a.m.

Well, it does appear that there have been a couple of attempts to re-open it. At least for commercial use, evidently. http://www.seacoastonline.com/articles/20090723-N… http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2013/may/2…— May 23, 2013 6:23 a.m.

Levi Strauss pays big bucks to get 49ers' stadium naming rights
tomjohnston - believe it or no, I am constantly impressed with both your prolific posting nature and the breadth of your knowledge. Your posts are generally germane to most any topic. That being said, I still found your "stupidest" comment to be questionable, at best. As you often say, opinions vary, and I'm well beyond my initial sentiment. I recall something you typed to Surfpuppy once (hey, where is that little mongrel?) that hinted at a mirthful bent to your nature. Regarding your query about posting, I used to be all over the site, but lately it appears that I'm responding to Don's offerings about 60% of the time. Also, my wife is Jewish, and she has many family friends (holocaust survivors, or related) to whom the word "pogrom" is indeed anathema. And finally, as for my use of the word "macho", not in this millennium. Take care. John Sweeney a.k.a Duhbya— May 10, 2013 9:54 a.m.

Don, your complaisance is far greater than mine, although I agree that tj's contributions are usually quite compelling. Today's offering simply grated on me. Carry on!— May 9, 2013 10:05 a.m.

"Marissa Mayer looks like she’s trying to out-macho the men who run most of America’s boardrooms." - Boston Globe, 02/28/13 "Bill O’Reilly’s Macho Moment in On-Air Confrontation With Laura Ingraham" - The Daily Beast 04/05/13 "A second is an aggressively macho culture. Chechnya has a warrior tradition...." - CNN 04/21/13 One gets the impression that you commence each day by poring feverishly through the Reader in search of Bauder quotes with which you can take (feign?) umbrage. Ho-hum. Ever think about starting your own blog? "¿Quién es más macho?" - (Headline in the Washington Post, 01/17/13) "¿Don Bauder o tomjohnston?" - Duhbya 05/09/13— May 9, 2013 7:13 a.m.
San Diego Gas & Electric rates are nation's highest
Don, I thought this might be of interest to you: The show my son mentions that was submitted in the bid for the Emmy was called The Triplets. (Editor’s note: Mr. Joe Stone was the author of this episode of Gunsmoke.) Before it went into production Ken Curtis (Festus Hagin) suggested the name Baker’s Dozen and it was released with that title. I forgot the name of another I wrote which was produced. They brought one I wrote called The Plague. Most of it appeared in bits and pieces in other shows. I also wrote for Restless Gun. And I wrote one for Charlton Heston which he bought from me but they went off to play Moses and didn’t do it. It must have been forgettable. It was called No Gun At Mulberry. Heston played a blacksmith. Please excuse my typing. (Editor’s note: Mr. Stone’s letter was transcribed for posting purposes.) I gave up trying to do it perfectly 70 years ago.
