Water polluted by tossed bikes
As of Last October, LimeBike had raised $62 million from investors. Ofo has raised nearly $1.3 billion since it was founded in 2014 and Mobike has raised $928 million since 2015. Dockless bikes are not going away anytime soon.— May 29, 2018 7:36 a.m.
Despite Jack in the Box's hypnotic tacos
don bauder, I have read your references to "Wall Street" billionaires countless time. But it occurred to me when I read it this time that I don't know to whom you refer. Is it people who work on wall street, or own/run wall street firms? Is it people whose wealth is from the stocks that are traded on wall street? What exactly do you mean when you refer to those "Wall Street" billionaires??— May 23, 2018 5:07 p.m.
City board to SDG&E: Drop dead
I think the use of the word rape is at the very least unwise, if not downright inappropriate given today's climate. As for Kathleen Brown, she's only been on the board less than 5 years and is merely 1 of 14. I don't think she has nearly the sway that you think she does, Governor's sister or not, and especially not over the 4 board members who have been there barely a year or less. These shenanigans by Sempra have been going on much longer than 5 years and I would be looking at the ones who have been there for close to 2 decades, like William D. Jones, William G. Ouchi, or Bill Rusnack. I mean if anyone one the Sempra board is complicit, you have to look at these guys, right? And what about Lynn Schenk? She was the chief of staff to Grey Davis for God's sake, not to mention also being on the board of the California High-Speed Rail Authority. And with Debra Reed stepping down at the end of the year as president and CEO, will she maintain her position on the board or relinquish it to another new member. I mean come on man. Lose the blinders. It seems there are characters far more devious to worry about than Kathleen Brown, yet some how it seems you ignore them all the while being somehow fixated on her. That is not the CaptD/Founder we've come to expect. Oh, and how about giving us something useful, rather than just a link to another 2 year old rant. Just my opinion. Opinions vary.— May 20, 2018 9:17 a.m.
San Diego's nine hot spots for illegal dumping
I have no idea what the residential fees are now, but I wonder what the 2018 equivalent dollars are to that '70's $15.— May 19, 2018 9:47 a.m.
Too ugly
Mike Murphy, Really?? Apparently, only you would say that.— May 19, 2018 9:44 a.m.
Too ugly
About 3 or 4 years ago, I was at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale and saw one hammer at $500K. I know of a couple others since then selling for around $250K and the most recent one that I have seen, a few weeks ago in Houston, was a 440 6pack rather than a Hemi, that went for about $190k. If I remember correctly, the info I saw at B-J said that the factory had produced 1935 for US sales and an additional 50 or so were ordered thru Canadian dealers. Best guesses are that somewhere around 1200 or so original factory productions cars are still around. A couple of corrections to what was written in the story. The "1 car per 2 dealers" requirement was put in place for 1970, because of the "aero cars". Prior to that it was simply 500 vehicles available from dealers. Because the Ford Torino Talladega and the Dodge Charger Daytona were only produced in 1969, they fell under the 500 unit rule, not the 1 per 2 dealer rule as noted. Also, the Superbirds ran a 426 Hemi in NASCAR. The 427 side oiler was a Ford engine. And after 1970, the decrease in engine displacement was to no more than 305 cubic inches, not 312 as mentioned. At just over 18 feet, the street version of the car was less than 20 inches longer than the standard Roadrunner, I would discount the claim that it was too long to fit in a garage. All small details, but I have always felt that if one can't get the little things right, how can they be trusted with the really important stuff.— May 19, 2018 9:40 a.m.
Grandpa Irwin’s TV money
I meet all of the Constitutionally required "qualifications" to be President of the United States. You probably do as well. Does that mean either of us are qualified to hold the office?? I think not. Just my opinion. Opinions vary.— May 9, 2018 8:31 a.m.
Times zooms in on San Diego in utility fight
A surprising response. I would expect someone of your background to employ the phrase " I believe you mean" rather than the more cursory "I think you mean". Just my opinion. Opinions vary.— May 6, 2018 9:18 a.m.
Grandpa Irwin’s TV money
Even though I don't have a horse in this race, I will still interject a thought. I thinks it is a fair assessment to say that she meets the qualifications to run for office. However, I also think that it is fair to say that just because someone meets the qualifications for a particular position does not necessarily mean that he or she is qualified for that position. Just my opinion. Opinions vary.— May 6, 2018 9:08 a.m.
Padres pitcher will be tried July 2
