Serving OB, the Peninsula and San Diego Beaches
Details inside!
Good morning OB, San Diego and all points beyond! I hope all of you had a good Thanksgiving. We sure did! Actually it was one of the better ones for me during the last few years, we had more than a dozen family and friends here for dinner on Thursday, and then almost all of them came back Saturday for my mother’s 73rd birthday. We had chocolate cake and my two little grand-daughters (her great-grand-daughters) helped her blow out her birthday candles.
It’s pretty amazing having four generations of family all together in one place and we are blessed that we all live close and can do it on a pretty regular basis. It’s one of the thing that I am thankful for.
Activists representing many groups, including Labor, Occupy San Diego, MoveOn and Nurses rallied yesterday afternoon on the Clairemont Drive bridge over Interstate 5 to bring attention to how much maintenance our infrastructure needs and the number of jobs those repairs could create. This bridge has been identified as one needing repair and has a surface rating of 2 out of 10 (any rating 4 or lower is deemed structurally deficient) and needs to be repaired now.
There are a multitude of events scheduled today to honor our Veterans, a few of those are noted here. Come inside for more information!
8 AM until dark: The San Diego Veterans For Peace, Chapter #91, will be honoring the fallen soldiers/sailors/airmen from Southern California killed to date in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars by the installation of our “Arlington West” Memorial on the lawn of the USS Midway Museum near the intersection of Harbor Drive and Broadway. Newly produced markers, similar to those found in Arlington National Cemetery, will honor those killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, whose home of record was in San Diego County, Imperial County, Orange County and Los Angeles County, approximately 250 to date.
Come join me, Patty (am I still considered middle-class?), and more than 50 middle-class women from throughout San Diego County as we hold a press conference and rally in the Civic Center Plaza at 4 p.m. this Saturday, Nov. 12, to announce their support for Occupy San Diego.
What began with a few friends a week ago has snowballed as women are signing up by the dozens on Facebook and SignUpGenius.
This is for Carl DeMaio, the San Diego City Council, the muts, the baggers, the weasels, the gators, the creepers, Fox News, the AP, Koch-heads who’d have you think that working parents spawn “Occupiers” by sending their children to daycare, the WSJ, all those people who let the media give them the heebie-jeebies with their talk of piss and blood…
We’ve been watching, knowing that this moment was about to happen!
Our 2,000,000 hit was from a fan in San Diego clicking in at 11:13 and checking out the article “Filming at Old Townhouse Restaurant begins November 8th.”

Police confiscated a large amount of personal property when they swept through the civic Center Plaza early friday morning, and many people have expressed concern over how or if they would be able to get any of it back.

1:54 am, Calls coming in to Frank that arrests are being made at the plaza and at the solidarity site…
At San Diego City College today more than a hundred students staged a walkout in solidarity with Occupy San Diego. After holding a rally at Curren Plaza where many students spoke to an enthusiastic crowd, about 150 protesters marched from the campus, down B Street, chanting and addressing pedestrians and onlookers, to the Civic Center Plaza to join the Occupy Movement protesters.
The coalition “A Better San Diego“, comprised of community, faith, labor, LGBT rights, immigrant rights, environmental and social justice organizations (view a partial list), have been working to build an economic vision for our city that focuses on jobs, quality of life, equality, prosperity and fairness for more San Diegans. This coalition has been organizing a forum where selected candidates running for San Diego Mayor will address issues that concern workers, students, retirees… actually, the 99%!
