    Cable v. Satellite

    I use Cox for HD cable (no premium channels), a cable card for my HD TiVo, and Internet. I think we pay about $110. I like TiVo too much to get something that doesn't let me use it. I haven't found anything that is really much more affordable than cable. Satellite seems to be about the same...

    TIC Retail

    I have heard that Pottery Barn will be leaving Fashion Island due to lease issues with TIC. With Circuit City going away there, is Fashion Island going to face another downturn like it did back when Circuit City first moved in? Remember how that was controversial because Circuit City was too...

    Biking in Laguna Coast Wilderness Park

    Thanks, Freedom! So, you're thinking about 45-60 minutes each way? That's a long commute compared to a 10 minute drive on the 73. But then I wouldn't have to run to get exercise -- I'd just be combining my commute with my workout. So its either a 2-hour round-trip bike ride or 20-minute...

    Biking in Laguna Coast Wilderness Park

    Thanks for the responses. Any ideas on how long it would take to get from the intersection of Newport Coast Dr and Ridge Park Rd to the intersection of Aliso Viejo Pkwy and Enterprise? Freedom, is there a gate or something that gets locked at sundown? I'm just worried I could be almost...

    Biking in Laguna Coast Wilderness Park

    I see in Google Maps that there are trails from the top of Ridge Park Rd in Newport Coast to the 133. Are these trails open to the public for cycling? I live in Newport and am starting a new job in Aliso Viejo. I thought it would be nice if I could bike most days to/from work.

    The perfect BK style house designed just for IHBers.

    I want one of these BK houses. What he describes sounds perfect to me. YMMV.

    Maybe they are including the Endless Vista as the rest of the football field.

    What would make you vote with your feet?

    I voted with my feet in early 06 and moved out of the OC. In late 07, I voted again and moved back. I missed it too much. Yes I had a bigger house elsewhere, but there were so many other things I hated. And, actually, the house was too big. It would take a LOT to make me leave again.

    Movies and Movie Theaters

    Update, for those that care. Now that the Oscar nominations are out, I have a few more movies to see. Since my previous post, I have seen Doubt and The Visitor. IMHO, Doubt is overrated. It is thought-provoking, but it is another movie where I didn't actually care about any of the...
