Border agents make big seizure at Otay Mesa
I told a friend from Up North that we have Snow Days in San Diego, too, when a lot of snow comes in from Ecuador, and you have to stay off the streets because so many drivers are so high.— September 1, 2013 9:58 p.m.
Food service workers rally for $15 minimum wage
The Minimum Wage in Australia is $16.50 US per hour, prices for everything including Fast Food are lower, and nobody is talking about labor unions! Labor union employees do not work for Minimum Wage, anyway.— September 1, 2013 9:52 p.m.
Food service workers rally for $15 minimum wage
It is enough, if you live in Tijuana, where I am posting this right now.— September 1, 2013 9:50 p.m.
Field of candidates for Mayor now at 16
Three likely candidates, all Conservative Republicans but only one labelled as such, are Nathan Fletcher, Todd Gloria, and Carl DeMaio. Since the voters clearly mandated a Very Liberal Democrat, that leaves State Senator Marty Block (D-La Jolla), Former City Attorney Mike Aguirre (D), and Lori Soldaña for possibilities. Hud Collins would be interesting, because although conservative he does kick some butt about the Mafia running the City, which, of course, it does, especially the news media. (A few media like Reader and KNSJ Radio excepted, of course!)— September 1, 2013 9:46 p.m.
No strikers for Encinitas fast-food
Minimum Wage in Australia is $16.50 per hour, and fast food workers usually start around $17 US dollars per hour. Prices are lower than here for everything, not just fast food. McDonalds here at East Main and Greenfield Drive in El Cajon pays that sort of a wage, and its food is far better than the corporate chain stores, at the same prices, too. They also have internet and wifi, and couches and recliners. They are owned by an Arabian couple.— September 1, 2013 9:37 p.m.
Poets cause trouble at U.S.-Mexican border fence
Originally called Smugglers Gate, there was no fence at Friendship Park for many years, and crossing there was legal. Because of human and drug smuggling there came a fence, but no fence on the sand beach. More recently, the fence was extended into the ocean. People traditionally filled kites with cocaine and heroin, throwing or flying them over the border to drop the dope on the US side. And your group showed up there with kites? That is like wearing a Nazi uniform to a meeting in a synagogue.— September 1, 2013 9:31 p.m.
Homeless move to Tijuana’s beach
El Bordo, also known as Campo Infierno, Camp Hell, is back, with a larger population than before they raided it. I feed these people, nearby, every day. Good article.— September 1, 2013 1:36 p.m.
Poets cause trouble at U.S.-Mexican border fence
I remember when tens of thousands of uniformed US sailors, each one with a loaded pistol, lined the bars and avenues of Tijuana. I remember when my taxicab was permitted to park on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier to pick them up. I remember when we could cross the border without any ID or inspection, waiting in no line. I remember a lot of things that some nowdays cannot even believe.— September 1, 2013 1:30 p.m.
Poets cause trouble at U.S.-Mexican border fence
I rather agree that they take it too seriously.— September 1, 2013 1:27 p.m.
Poets cause trouble at U.S.-Mexican border fence
No, and the primary reason they look at it so carefully. I was there when one was intercepted, about 20 years ago.— September 1, 2013 1:27 p.m.
