Welcome to a Day with BA - Entries For Sept 2007 |
||||||
"Yesterday is History - Tomorrow is a Mystery - And Today is a Gift..." BA suggests that all fathers memorize the words to this song! |
I was turning right on Palomar to check out Moids when the blue car in the photo came flying into the picture -BA
It looks like the driver may have clipped the tail of the parked - FOR SALE - Porsche.
How did he end up hitting the parked car - who knows - I do know, however, that for any of us, just a slight distraction, just a moment of inattention, one's life may be forever changed.

First of all - not too many of my rants lately - too caught up with son Kris' wedding plans, etc., but how 'bout this??BA
Another one of the stupid [my opinion] round-abouts in Bird Rock - this one at the corner of Bird Rock and Bellevue - are you ??@!! kidding me...An existing 3-way stop, low traffic volume - I guess one of my neighbors figgered the best way to make the intersection more ??attractive???? by his / her casa is to spend OUR $$ on an absolutely [my opinion only] unnecessary round-about!Must be nice to have a lot of time and $$ on one's hands!
Speaking of no time on one's hands, and certainly no $$ - here's my contribution to La Jolla surf history:
PM Photos 1: Include Guy Hanson | Patrick Ahern | Lucas | More...
PM Photos 2: Include Skippy | Rowe Would Go surviving a death defying take-off | More...
PM Photos 3: Include Roger surviving a death defying take-off | More...
=========
I have often wondered if this Bird Rock street [Bellevue] were named after:
"Bellevue has long been a pioneer in identifying and categorizing mental illness, in training psychiatrists and psychiatric nurses and in formulating effective treatment options combining science and psychosocial support that allow even seriously ill patients to return to more normal lives."
I guess my wondering was correct
==========
My opinion: Can you believe the waste of our tax $$?? Corner of Bird Rock and Bellevue - what a joke - maybe my world has gone insane??
