Elected officials, needle exchange programs and marketing bunnies
Another funny email exchange between Squid Dog and me.

Yuck. That sucks.

Yep, I'll be sporting it on your beaches here two weeks from now.

Nice.
New law -- no smoking on the beaches. They passed that law the same week they reinstated the needle exchange program. Doesn't make sense that there's more McD's wrappers and soda cans on the beach than anything else, yet they made it illegal to smoke and they decide to use our money to go ahead and give out drug paraphenalia.

Nice place, your state. More specifically, your city.
As long as they don't have a no-farmer-tan ordinance in effect, I'll be fine
On 7/17/06, Squid Dog wrote:
Yeah, we're pretty messed up. The funny thing is that our mayor is an ex police chief.
I think they passed the no farmer tan law, but it doesn't go into effect until October.... the same time they will start to enforce the law that sells beer at a discounted rate to minors so they don't have to sell sex to raise the money to buy it themselves. hahahaha.

Man, do you vote? You should, because you guys have some messed up shit going on down there.
I mean, who do you think votes more, smokers or intravenous drug users?

I don't think the needle thing was on the ballot. I think that was a city council thing.

Need to un-elect your representatives, then. I don't understand how a place that has so much going for it can be so fucked up.

hahahhaa. No kidding, right? we are messed up bad.

I don't understand it. You guys are in one of me most beautiful places in the world, and it's maddening to hear what's going on there

You'll notice I live here....

I guess. Everyone here points out that we have a Democrat governor like how some people say 'some of my best friends are black' when they say something racist.

hahahaha. That's funny.

You guys technically have a Republican governor. Maybe governor is like, the token minority elected official. Kind of like how the HR executive in any given organization is always a woman, generally the only one on the executive team.

hahaha. Or even Marketing.

Exactly. Seems like half the companies I've worked for have both a HR exec who is totally unqualified and there only because she has a vagina and a marketing bunny who's cute but past her prime and seems to do nothing but party with higer ups from other companies

hahaha. That is so funny only cause it's true.

I'm moving to San Diego in a few months. Are the marketing bunnies litter-box trained?
Not sure. Squid Dog would know that, he's pretty much my last buddy still left in San Diego. Most of my marketing bunny experience is based on here in Tennessee.
When are you moving to San Diego?
I've gotta sell my house here, and I'm still looking at little shoe-box condos there. I'm thinking about 3-4 months. I'll actually be living in Carlsbad probably -- doing work in Rancho Sante Fe & SD.
I am going to be very poor for a very long time.
Might I suggest renting for a year or so? The housing market there is at the beginning of a crash cycle, so you'll be able to score a place much cheaper after it becomes a full blown slump. That'll be cool as long as you're going to stay for awhile.
oh yea -- I knew the buyer's market just started up out there. We're in some sort of equilibrium here, right? Hmmmm. Renting doesn't sound too awful. I'll probably be there forever anyway. I gotta get back with my hard-core realtor...
June was the first month where there was a year-over-year decrease in home prices. My mother in law rented a condo in a pretty crappy neighborhood for decades, then finally bought her unit in 2000 for 60K. Now it's worth about 300K, and it's not someplace I would want to live. That represents about the cheapest of places you can buy out there nowadays. I'm no real estate person, but I think you'll be able to score something better for a lot less money in a year or so when things continue to cool off.
On the other hand, San Diego is a really beautiful place. I loved it there. It's just so damned expensive, especially when compared to here.
It's funny, we discussed the smoking ban on a forum that I am on the other day. One guy said the beaches were totally trashed after the 4th of July celebrations and he didn't see how a few cigarette butts made much of a difference. If I should ever happen to get drunk enough to go there, I will simply wade out in the water a little bit to have a smoke. That wouldn't technically be smoking on the beach, would it?
Either way, I tend to respect smoking laws in most public places, but on a beach, I am pretty sure I wouldn't pay attention to this one and if I have gone long enough without a smoke, paying whatever fine they have wouldn't be half bad. They really wouldn't want me on a beach around others if I wasn't able to smoke.
