This Place Is Dead Anyway

Random Post-Election Thoughts:

I just noticed that I seem to get an election only once every four years.

I wonder if Dick Cheney is using the Dr. Seuss book One State, Two State, Red State, Blue State to explain the election results to President G.W. Bush.

California voted to ban gay marriage yesterday, and I started growing a beard four days ago. So I already had a beard when gay marriage was outlawed! Coincidence, or just good planning? (For the last time until the next time - I am not gay, but it seems a shame to waste the jokes.)

Here's hoping that all the gays in California who wanted to get married got to do so in the 5 1/2 months or so it was legal here.

In the local elections, I came across the following piece of troubling news: San Diego Votes to Permanently Ban Booze at Beaches.

Alcohol used to be legal at San Diego beaches from noon to 8pm as long as it wasn't in a glass container, and that was a wonderful thing. Walking down to the beach in the late afternoon and watching the sunset with a drink in hand was one of the simple pleasures in life. However, there was some sort of semi-riot over a holiday weekend about a year back which led to a temporary ban on alcohol at beaches. That ban has now been made permanent by San Diego voters. So there's really no point to living in San Diego now. Unless you like to be around young, semi-brainless hotties prancing about in perfect weather. Yep, the ship has sailed on this place. Time to get the hell out of here.
