Man cannot survive except through his mind. He comes on this earth unarmed. His brain is his only weapon. Animals obtain food by force. Man has no claws, no fangs, no horns, no great strength of muscle. He must plant his food or hunt it. To plant, he needs a process of thought. To hunt, he needs weapons, and to make weapons -- a process of thought. From this simplest necessity to the highest religious abstraction, from the wheel to the skyscraper, everything we are and everything we have comes from a single attribute of man -- the function of his reasoning mind.

Price of gasoline in Coronado. . .

Having lived here for many years, to this day I don't understand why the two local gas stations charge what they do for a gallon of gasoline. The simple math follows:

  • Average automobile holds 18 gallons of gas.
  • 18 gallons X (times) average price in San Diego @ $3.05 = $54.90
  • 18 gallons X (times) average price in Coronado @ $3.56 = $64.08

Yes, I understand the value of our dirt, yet still, it just seems unneighborly. . .
