    Is Palin the choice?

    I'll withhold judgement on whether or not I think she's a good choice until I know more about her. One good thing... I'll bet we have a pretty thorough debate on energy policy. That's been missing for many years, under both Democratic and Republican administrations.

    McCain unsure of how many houses he owns

    This morning on CNBC, Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez was interviewed on presidential politics, and she defended Senator Obama's thin experience resume with comparisons to President Lincoln, also from Illinois, and also with a pretty thin resume in DC politics. Of course, Senator Obama also used...

    Living in America in the 1970s

    I was in college during the '70s. Stroh's Beer was sold in long-neck returnable bottles for $4.88 per case of 24. Oil peaked at about $40/barrel. My five years of graduate school were paid for by the energy shortage of 1973. The government funded lots of research projects on...

    How to save $100/year without switching to Geico

    I'm in the same boat... Cable modem, router, USB hub, two printers, etc. The problem is that if everything is off, the modem has to be powered up first, then the router, then I can turn on the laptop computer and other stuff. So all of the peripherals stay on. I know of no relatively...

    Would you do it?

    I checked out the web site just to see what's inside the buildings I drive by every day. I happened to open up the manager's messages archive, and WOW! The number of apologies to residents was "enlightening" to say the least. The reasons ranged from noisy repairs, security gates that are...

    How Long Will It Take To Build Out Columbus Square?

    Anon: I disagree. If I was in the market now for a home like those offered at Columbus Square, I <em>would</em> seriously consider this development, or any other on the old Tustin base. I am comfortable in my assessment that the actual risk is so small as to be unmeasurable. But I wouldn't...

    How Long Will It Take To Build Out Columbus Square?

    Environmental risk needs to be separated into two categories. <em>Actual</em> risk and <em>perceived</em> risk. I am a Civil/Environmental Engineer. Given the available information on the remediation of the former Tustin MCAS, I would not consider there to be much (if any) excess actual risk...
