"It sickens me to see all of these "toys" that are purchased by our city, and I've even noticed the "volunteer" vehicles consisting of large-gas-guzzling-SUVs making their rounds. Why we even need such an inventory of these…"

Visitor Information or Time-Share Business at Ferry Landing?

Some afternoon after work I enjoy going to the Coronado Ferry Landing to catch up on my reading and so forth. Recently they placed a kiosk with signage proclaiming: "Visitor Information" and have a staff of either one or two per shift.   First I thought that it was a great idea, the visitors would be able to ask questions, get brochures and directions to sites and attractions in Coronado -- yet after observing their operation for a few days, I realized that this was not the case.Apparently the…See More

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. . .

Posted on June 23, 2010 at 2:32pm 21 Comments

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. . .
