    Olympics

    It's interesting that some sports take longer to mature, like track but you have 14 and 15 year old phenoms in swimming.  In swimming long and lean is better, usually a teenager's build...

    Olympics

    They probably should due to safety concerns like listed below. Hope no incidents like in 1972.  Guess they don't have enough money for the security?  Do they think they're hosting the Olympics in Irvine?  :P

    Olympics

    Anybody interested in the Olympics?  Who are you cheering for? Since I casually swim now, I'm looking forward to the swimming, although other than Katie Ledecky, there's no sure wins.  And as always the shorter distance sprints in track.  Is Bolt going to show up and if he does, will he be...

    Where are the American flags on 4th of July ?

    I remember in some of my past neighborhoods the local realtor (whoever he/she hired) would stick small American flags on the front lawn of the whole neighborhood.  Is that not PC now?  I hope not.

    Measure E passes . So now which communities can see more MR ? More Taxes ?

    I think if your kids go to one of these schools (and you actually live in that boundary) you are probably safe.  I know I'll be paying up. 2016 SFIM Excluded Schools Alderwood ES Cypress Village ES Eastwood ES Portola Springs ES Stonegate ES Woodbury ES Beacon Park K8 Vista Verde K8...

    This might help.  Get the PDF at the bottom or look at the list of schools at the bottom. http://iusd.org/schoolimprovements.html

    Was your child's elementary school one in 19 districts to win a Gold Ribbon?

    Yikes, so now the CA selection committee is discriminating against the braniacs of IUSD...like the Ivies.  Do you really want to live in Irvine?  :P

    Meet Japanese grocer Seiwa, opening April 1 at former Fresh & Easy in Costa Mesa

    Thanks Momopi, now I can't get that jingle out of my head.  :P Definitely marketing to the younger generation.

    Irvine demographic & impact on kids

    Just curious as to why more Asians aren't in private schools if some of them are perceived to provide a higher level education...and a possible advantage when applying for colleges?  I would think the Kumon and SAT tutoring, violin lesson parent crowd would pay for the better education, as money...

    Earthquake Insurance

    I remember a co-worker of mine saying something similar about 20 years ago and I remember thinking that he'll regret it one of these days while I safely rebuild my house.  He's still winning and if I had put all that insurance money in Microsoft and Google or something, I would be semi-retired...

    Earthquake Insurance

    On a practical note, all the contractors would probably be tied up tearing down and constructing so many other houses for many, many months (years?) before they would get to my house that I may just walk.  I guess this is when putting down too much will lessen your flexibility? I do get worried...

    Hidden Canyon in Irvine

    I would love to be able to live in the "slums" of Shady Canyon, even if my kids will be bullied that we live in the slums by the kids of those 100x richer parents.  :P

    Earthquake Insurance

    Every year before I renew my earthquake policy, I ask my agent "are you sure this amount will be enough to replace my house in the worst case scenario"?  And, I get a "yes" every time.  I assume I could pay for more coverage but then the deductible amount would be higher as well.  So, you would...

    The good ol' days...

    Ah, good ol' dodgeball in middle school.  You never wanted to be one of the last ones standing since that assured you of going up against the super athlete upperclassman, Buff, with his 70 mph fastball and you knew you were going to be humiliated in front of everyone else now watching, not to...

    .

    I'm not saying it's o.k. but I get at least a few of these per year so I always keep a close eye when I make those left turns.  Those idiots probably should turn right after realizing their mistake, if it's safe to do so, and make a U-turn somewhere but you know they won't.  I don't necessarily...

    Uncle IHO, please tape it somewhere and I'll go pick up the money. :P

    Girl Scout sells 117 boxes of cookies in 2 hours in front of pot shop

    I'm getting sick of seeing the boxes and boxes of unsold Girl Scout cookies in my home for my two girls.  Now, that's an idea.  Selling 115 boxes in two hours would be great.  I guess we have to think outside the "box".  When I first saw the title, I assumed it was a store selling pots and pans...
