Tijuana, graveyard of the godforsaken gringos
Figuratively and creatively correct, but it is fiction, not news, and intended to entertain, which it does. Excellent piece. Instead of "Downtown" perhaps say "Zona Norte". Never take a taxi, so that you do not get robbed by the cab driver, except if you are foolish enough to enter Zona Norte.— October 6, 2013 6:51 p.m.
Tijuana, graveyard of the godforsaken gringos
I agree, and have said so, that this is a good piece. And, I have been published in about two thousand newspapers in the past 45 years.— October 6, 2013 6:46 p.m.
Gunshots fired near Tijuana’s El Chaparral border crossing
It was clear for about 3 days, and then there were 3 times the usual number of people there. I wanted to write a story on that, and was denied.— October 5, 2013 6:55 p.m.
Shutdown will hit San Diego, already belted by sequestration
Sequestration, money lock-boxes, shutdowns, being broke, and the fiscal cliff are all complete BULLSHIT, made up by media spin-doctors to try to justify how badly the rich treat the poor.— October 2, 2013 8:45 p.m.
Tijuana, graveyard of the godforsaken gringos
This goes without saying, and I need as an author, publisher, and editor many years to point it out: You DO know that stories of this nature are fictional, although based upon some real experiences, right? Like sermons and ministry, entertainment stories are not to be taken as factual. Good piece of entertainment.— September 29, 2013 6:55 p.m.
Tijuana, graveyard of the godforsaken gringos
First time I ever agreed with you.— September 29, 2013 6:49 p.m.
Tijuana, graveyard of the godforsaken gringos
Prostitution is legal in Tijuana, and there are licenses and taxes paid, as well as a Labor Union for the prostitutes. I asked about writing a Reader cover story on same, as my ex-girlfriend was a leader, but that idea was rejected. As far as perspectives, these are only two mentioned above, and I can think of at least 20.— September 29, 2013 6:48 p.m.
Beer of the Week: Monkey Paw Satanic Chimp
Good to have a Stout-looking and Devil-named beer weigh in at 6% and be mellow. Makes me wonder if we could get commoners to drink more stout and ale if we mellowed them some. But then, we do drink beer for its flavor, right? Dr. John Kitchin, Brewmaster (retired)— September 29, 2013 6:39 p.m.
Have you ever had your bike stolen?
I have had about 25 bikes in my 61 years, and at least 15 were stolen and never recovered.— September 29, 2013 6:35 p.m.
Where do you get movies?
How about F-Street Porno Arcade? Just kidding.— September 29, 2013 6:31 p.m.
