I got back on the Trolley again today for the first time in months. I was headed from El Cajon to Fenton Parkway on the Green Line since I have changed my favored library from RB to Mission Valley after we moved to the mountains (well, it's a canyon actually, among the mountains). There was almost no one on the train, so it was easy to keep socially distanced. And I got to see some of the demolition work up close at the Stadium (the trolley still stops there, but I can't figure out why). They are digging up the pavement on the west side of the parking lot and grinding it up for construction material. The main body of the structure appears to be untouched so far. The rugby fields down by the river are being used as employee parking, it appears - I hadn't thought about that loss of playing fields.
espola what do you think about having a Off Topic section where politics are not allowed?

Some of those I could write about. I don't know how you would keep politics out of "evict tenants" or "housing market will..."

The news says that the Navy will scrap the Bon Homme Richard amphibious carrier because it will cost too much to repair the damage from the 4-day fire last summer. The first story was that a lot of flammable junk had been stored in an area intended to carry amphibious vehicles in normal operations caught fire when no one was working in the area, and that the shipboard fire-fighting systems had been disconnected while they were being upgraded as part of the shipyard work.
Also in the news are hints that the NCIS is investigating a sailor for arson. NCIS always looks so good on their TV show but not so good in real life. When I was in the Navy, we had a few NIS (as they were called at that time) snoops running around the base. The feeling I heard expressed at that time was that an NIS agent couldn't find his own ass with both hands in his back pockets, a feeling that was borne out in their attempt to blame the USS Iowa explosion on some sailors who had been killed. I guess they felt that no one would find out about the unauthorized gunnery experiments and the use of defective ammunition.

Not just NCIS, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives was also involved in questioning a sailor as reported by AP months ago.
Not sure if it means anything, but multi-agency collaboration does imply some unreported details.
I'm dying to hear the details. The Navy tried everything they could to cover up what happened on the Iowa, right down to washing down the turret before they returned to port thus destroying any hope of a thorough forensic exam. Then they brought in Navy chemists who found "incriminating evidence" that turned out to actually be Brasso residue.
