Wanna know something weird? In the almost 30 years that I've lived in San Diego, I've never been to the zoo or the Wild Animal Park.

For the first time since I poisoned myself accidentally four weeks ago, I went to the gym today. The weather is beautiful, so I'm feeling better than I have in a long time. It's a shame you have to be so sick as to be near death before you can appreciate the small things in life.

Had a 1995 Mits Galant that I used for courier work years ago. It was up to about 220K when I got rid of it, it had a problem that would have prevented it from passing smog. I took it to several different mechanics, no one could diagnose it. One shop had it all day and I called a few minutes...

Where the fook are you guys? Wasting all of your profits drinking and dancing at the clubs? Forget it! You'll just wake up sick and broke tomorrow.

So, what would soothsayer say about my flat, droopy ass?

I keep getting welts on my hips, right around the waistband of my underwear. It usually happens when I'm asleep, so it led me to believe it was bed bugs. However, they don't itch intensely and they disappear within two hours. And they also appear at other times besides when I'm asleep. I've...

Saturday night, staying home, sipping wine, reading Barron's. This morning the paperboy delivered IBD instead of the WSJ, but I didn't bother to call in and complain. I was too busy today for much reading. This old apartment got a thorough deep cleaning today. I love a clean apartment!

Hmmm, a couple of endorsements for the comfort of Buicks. I've always liked the appearance of Buicks, they look cool to me. I don't get the old-man-car reputation. I'm only putting 5,000 miles per year on my 2006 Fusion. That should give it a 20 year life, but it will probably be looking...

HO. LI. SCHIT. Read that article. I didn't know that disability is 100% funded by the feds. So states hire companies to go through the welfare rolls and move people of off welfare (state funded) and on to disability (fed funded). All right out in the open too.

Great article on the explosion of people on disability: http://apps.npr.org/unfit-for-work/ They reported from a county in Alabama where 1 in 4 people are on disability.

I rent an apartment in a family-owned apartment complex. My landlord's family has owned this property since 1945 (there's actually a 1935 photo of the property in the San Diego Historical Society database). We enjoy below-market rents. In fact, there is a nearly identical complex four blocks...

Well, I drive a 6 year old Ford Fusion, so no it wasn't me. And I have to say what a damb good car it is. I bought it new and have not had a single problem with it. In fact, it starts and runs just like it did the day I bought it. I never had that in any of the previous cars I've owned. I...

Pepsico gives its employees at $75 gift card for filling out an online health survey, and then there can be a bonus gift card if your particular workplace completes the most surveys. I think there's also more gift cards available if you continue with a customized program that improves your diet...

What was that post about? I don't remember it.

Stopped out at 13.97 today.

What is the plan for hypochondriacs? One of the guys where I work has doctor appointments nearly every week. He (allegedly) has high BP, diabetes, arthritis, plantar fasciitis, and a whole host of other crap. He was asking to be let off work early so that he could attend classes on managing his...

It looks like CNN is facing some backlash over their coverage: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/18/cnn-steubenville-rape-petition_n_2901462.html?utm_hp_ref=mostpopular

One of the commentors on that site jokingly said that the guy probably had a few drinks at Japengos (a trendy restaurant in La Jolla) and fled to avoid the DUI. Back when I was a broker in 1990 I used to try to hustle business at Jepengos, I was surprised to hear it's still there.

The right refuses to point the finger at itself. Union membership is on the decline and two more states became right-to-work states last year. The single biggest factor leading to America's move to the left is George W. Bush. The most hated president in our nation's history (at least since polls...
