...hooray for the City Council. They opened Seapoint Street connecting PCH and Palm, paid for by Seacliff Partners, the developers of the area. Now the residents on that street are "paying" for it.
...my daughter-in-law is such a "neatnik" about her new home. My son got up from his bed around 2 a.m. to go to the bathroom. When he returned, his bed was made!
...bless our Pope. Some may disagree with his policies and pronouncements, but no one can disagree with his travel schedule. I only hope that when I am 75, I am able to keep up a rigorous schedule like his.
...in 1986, the voters of California said in Proposition 62 taxes for GENERAL purposes must be approved by a simple majority of voters and that state and city taxes for a SPECIFIC purpose must be approved by 67 percent of those voting.

Monday: NFL Football and Chicago Hope. Tuesday: NYPD Blue (when it starts). Wednesday: Law & Order. Thursday: New York Washington Week and Picket Fences. Saturday: JAG.
...I don't like to prescribe any drugs without a license, but I think everyone, not only us seniors, should get a Flu shot this Year. The wise men predict a record flu season and we need to be protected. When I got mine, I was asked if I am allergic to eggs and/or any medication.
