    California Is Going Under

    Somewhere in that quote I'm supposed to get an impression you know what you're talking about. Do they teach econ or poli sci at Texas? :confused: Yeah, despite the fact that sub-prime lending was a pit a lot of Americans fell into, because California has such a large population, we'll focus on...

    San Diego Recommendations

    ^^^ regarding traffic in Mission Valley, that's a valid point, I'll give you that. Football games clog that place up real bad. If you're going to the game, then that's fun, but the residents I'm sure hate it when all the street parking fills up.

    TAD in Jax - Things to do

    You have to go to Kilwin's and get some ice cream or chocolates... pretty awesome. Also, why are you not PLAYING golf tomorrow in beautiful Florida?!? Oh well, you're handling alcohol at least, there's greatness to be had in that capacity.

    Where's my money?

    Well, someday wayyyyy down the road you could run for public office and lobby directly for the changes you have in mind. I'm thinking about the same, since talking and writing and informing the community and elected officials seems to have no effect. I feel like I shouldn't watch the wheels...

    Totally hilarious, this post. On the one hand people give recommendations of cheap bars with cheap beer in a place like Pacific Beach (sorry to say this but PB is trash) which many seem to like as a corner of SD, and in the same breath knock down Mission Valley (or any other neighborhood)...

    API question for OCS grads

    So should I fly down to Pensacola immediately after graduation, do the DIVO course and then fly home to get my car? I live in California so at some point a huge road trip will become a factor... What does the current status of OHARP assignments look like?
