Espola's newest neighborhood

I went to the store this morning and the cashier had on a costume that included coloring all her visible skin blue with sparkles embedded in it, plus some other costume elements that I am too much out of the mainstream culture to recognize (should have got a picture, right?). After complimenting her on her effort, I told her "Actually, I'm 25 years old. How do you like my old man costume?"
 
Opening Thursday --

Things I cared about that turned out OK in the elections --

G won, E lost.
6 lost.
Dumanis lost (SD Supervisor District 4).
Couvrette elected to PUSD board.
Gloria won (Assembly 78th District).
Maienschein re-elected (Assembly 77th District).

On the other hand --

Poway's fake-cowboy mayor Vaus re-elected.
 
My wife escaped from jury duty that was threatening to upset our holiday plans. On the third day of jury questioning today, while the jury was waiting in the hallway outside the courtroom, two of the principals in the case (she thinks it was the alleged victim and a witness) got into a loud argument right outside the courtroom door. After questioning several jurors about what they saw, the judge let 8 jurors go from the pool. My wife thinks that they are down below 12 now and will have to start over again tomorrow.

And today she got a check for $25 from the court.

Add another easy legal decision - a friend's business was burglarized recently. Among the items stolen was a checkbook. The (presumed) crook then cashed a check from that checkbook at a nearby store. The store has his name, a copy of his ID, and a photograph. And yesterday the detective assigned to the case came back from his extended holiday.

And the " Crook " was seen fleeing the retail establishment with an armful of
various dyes and rubber gloves....Hmmmm.

 
MTS and NCTD are proposing fare increases. 30-day and monthly bus passes for discounted fares (Senior, Disabled, Medical) will soon go up from $18 to $26, greater than 40% increase. The cost of undiscounted adult passes stays at $72, and the cost of Youth passes drops from $36 to $26 - a 28% decrease.

https://www.sandiegouniontribune.co.../sd-me-mts-fare-increases-20181024-story.html

My suggestion? Increase full price for 30-day passes to $80, increase S-D-M passes to $20, and reduce the Youth fare to $26.

I took a trip out to Oceanside pier yesterday to enjoy the nice weather. I shared a bit of my tuna sandwich with a seagull, which meant all his brother seagulls within a mile thought I was their friend, and also a good share of their relatives the pigeons. Further out, I watched the Bait Shop owner feeding a couple of pelicans, one of which was tame enough to walk right into the shop begging for more.

On my way out, I passed by the JWs sitting next to their rack of free literature. The pier gig seems like a much nicer day than going door to door being yelled at. What I thought to myself was "If you guys were watching the surfers ready to call lifeguards if someone gets in trouble, then your lives would have some purpose". What I actually said to them was "Hello".
