Good weather, high cost of living make San Diego bad for pro sports
The Mavs were around for a long time. Bochy had his first managerial gig for the Padres organization with them. I think we might have gone to see them play when they were in Riverside and I think Bochy might have been with them for a year or two after they moved up to the desert.— February 23, 2018 11:50 p.m.
Titters over Chargers' Twitter numbers
don bauder, do you actually understand how TwitterAudit works, or are you simply reporting what was in a story someone else wrote? Because while Twitter Audit claims to show you what percentage of followers may be fake, among the things this story doesn't say is it doesn't show you what percentage of followers may simply be inactive users, and any score above 60 percent is classified as "real," while scores between 40 and 60 percent are classified as "not sure.". I also observed that while this guy referred to the Rams, he didn't bother to to provide the Rams score. So I did a twitteraudit on the Rams myself, and they have a score of 48: https://www.twitteraudit.com/ramsnfl Seems to me this guy and his story are dubious, at best.— February 23, 2018 1:27 p.m.
U-T's Washington Post whitewash
don bauder Again, there is no US ambassador for the Cayman Islands. According to the State Department, any diplomatic issues go through the U.S. Embassy in London and the British Embassy in Washington and the Islands are, " part of the consular district administered by the U.S. Embassy in Kingston, Jamaica ( in which the Ambassador position is currently vacant, btw)", what ever that means. But don't take my word for it, by all means, see for yourself: https://www.state.gov/documents/organization/2780…— February 23, 2018 8:02 a.m.

U-T's Washington Post whitewash
don bauder Are you somehow suggesting that the Cayman gov't would allow a US gov't official access to the accounts the US persons have there? I really don't see how merely having an embassy there would facilitate oversight of offshore accounts. BTW, the last I read, there are about 250 recognized countries in the world, and during John Kerry's term as SECSTATE, the US had embassies in 169 of them and 43 of them had no ambassadors. I haven't looked recently, but I would suspect that number is higher under the current administration. Maybe it's just me, but I would think that the national security concerns raised by vacant ambassador positions would be a higher priority than having an ambassador to watch over U.S. dirty money in the Cayman Islands. Just my opinion. Opinions vary.— February 22, 2018 10:23 a.m.
Good weather, high cost of living make San Diego bad for pro sports
don bauder I do feel that I should point out that in Miami, both the household income and the family median income are half of that of San Diego and less than the national average and the per capita income is only 2/3 of what it is in San Diego, again below the national average.And while electricity is more in San Diego, the overage cost of utilities in Miami are only slightly lower than. My point is that median home value is a relative term. BTW, I am curious as to why you are not surprised that Miami has more major league teams. Surely it can't be solely because the Miami metro is twice the population of San Diego's.— February 22, 2018 10:08 a.m.
