Please Support the Sandman - tomorrow he appears in court in Chula Vista -

Please try to encourage him to use the walkway vs the street.

 

It isn't the canvas he prefers, but maybe a happy medium can be reached and maybe the city can find a way

to let him work on the street on occasion.

 

The city has the power to change the ordinance and maybe if he makes an effort the city can find a way to support his work beyond the walkway.

 

Thank You

Sandman puts BIG SMILES on two young girls faces

2 young girls approached the Sandman with a request.

 

They looked to be of middle school age.

 

The result, Sophia and Sophie had their names spelled out with a tiny heart in place of dotting the i's.

 

Their day was made and two more lives touched by a simple act.

 

Thank…

Is the thick kelp in the ocean for the first 20-30 yards gone or still lingering...

Headed down and want to avoid it after last weekends mess in front of the Shores.

Thank you!

The 16-page review, “Evidence-Based Treatment of Jellyfish Stings in…

Kudos to Coronado lifeguards after my 2nd stingray piercing of the season

I wanted to publicly thank the lifeguards.

 

Having become "educated" to the proper treatment, I made my way to tower 2C today and everything was

done in a concerned and professional manner.  The scalding hot water available at the main tower made all

the difference in the world.  Nothing near the previous pain.  

 

Sean Casey has a great group of lifeguards and the beach…

Suggestion for Coronado Lifeguards Regarding Stingrays

 

I've spent 55 years coming down to Coronado and despite occasionally watching someone experience the pain of a

Stingray, I've avoided it, that is until a few weeks ago.  It is a miserable experience and being unprepared for it only

makes it worse.  While Coronado is served by a wonderful group of lifeguards it's clear they are unprepared as well.

 

In flagging one down, he proceeded to tell me that hot water and Advil was the recommended course of action.…
