The man behind the Lennon conspiracy van
You're welcome, SP. They're both from the eccentric side of the aisle, with David definitely claiming a bit more territory. A good buddy of mine rented a house in IB on Seacoast Drive some years back. It was the last house on the left side of the slough side. I lived in a pretty cool place directly across the street on the beach side. Crane's place was a two story affair that was pretty nondescript on the outside, but the panoramic view from the inside of the house was phenomenal, overlooking the estuary, the hills of Tijuana, the Pacific, and then the South County mountain peaks. It was the placement of the window panes (and their unique pigment) that made the place a knockout. They were angled inward from the ceiling to the floor and took up two walls of the living room. Topping it all off was the Navy helicopters that flew low over the house during much off the day, as it was in the flight path of the chopper base Ream Field. I met the Dad a couple of times when he came by. Interesting chap, initially.— December 29, 2012 1:55 p.m.

Pup - I knew Crane from his IB days back in the Eighties. But the real story was his father, also named Loch. Quite influential in San Diego architectural history: http://www.modernsandiego.com/Crane%20Loch.html— December 28, 2012 7:37 p.m.

Apparently this wack's been at it for a while. Lightfoot results in Heavyhead? The link below is from October, 2000. http://www.salon.com/2000/10/02/king_lennon/— December 28, 2012 9:21 a.m.
Dig a hole: Charles Durning
Possibly one of the most underrated actors of his generation. One of my favorites was "True Confessions", with De Niro and Duvall. He danced an impressive jig in that one, too. I've never forgotten a line he addressed to (Monsignor) De Niro: "Who absolves you?" Sole survivor of his platoon that landed on Omaha Beach, by the way.— December 25, 2012 6:11 p.m.
Anne Hathaway's Britney moment
Ah, he means well, much like that little (surf?) puppy climbing up your leg. It's in his nature. ;>)— December 18, 2012 9:30 a.m.

Were you trying to spell Viagra with her name? It's actually Sofía Vergara.— December 17, 2012 9:11 a.m.
Should Jack-in-the-Box stay in Mexican foods?
I never heard of nor thought of any for Mickey D's. I should point out that the "gang" included Peterson's wayward son, Cris, who went on to achieve greater glory in the skies. http://articles.latimes.com/keyword/robert-o-pete…— December 14, 2012 11:57 a.m.
Should Jack-in-the-Box stay in Mexican foods?
"but that goes with the aging process, and it doesn't really matter to me what that outfit calls itself"....reminds me of what we (the gang) called them back in the late Sixties: "Gag in the Bag"', and/or "Hack in the Sack".— December 13, 2012 8:41 p.m.
You will get hoodwinked on San Diego stadium costs
Thanks for the pertinent info, guys. I had never considered the GB situation before.— December 12, 2012 8:06 a.m.
You will get hoodwinked on San Diego stadium costs
A few questions: how does all of this play out in Green Bay? That just happens to be the sole NFL franchise owned by the fans. What if one day the majority decides that Lambeau Field has outlived its usefulness, and deign to build a new stadium? I'm just curious as to who would subsidize that undertaking, especially (presumably) without the billionaire bucks to start the ball rolling. Would they raffle off cheese blocks, or go door-to-door begging for funds? Seems that they would come up awfully short in the end. I'm guessing the NFL wouldn't lift a finger to help. Well, maybe the middle one.— December 11, 2012 1:58 p.m.
