Traditional fair food ranges from tame (corndogs) to wild (huge turkey legs), but new additions to the culinary landscape at the San Diego County Fair are getting more outrageous. The smell of bacon cooking fills the air and while that fits the theme "Where the West is Fun", wrapping bacon around those turkey legs and sausage isn't adventurous enough. Fairgoers will find bacon-wrapped jalapenos, pineapple (Luau kabob), Brussels sprouts, asparagus and even bacon-wrapped...

When I purchased my house in Fallbrook, its relative location to the Fallbrook hospital was a selling point. The idea that my house is now close to a "secure" mental health facility, that will house patients from multiple counties, probably isn't. The idea that the board rammed this through without a vote is also disconcerting. Whether this sale amounts to 50% of the healthcare assets or not, this should not have happened without the community's input and authorization. I doubt that the community's input would have been...
What a great neighbor you have become! You erected an ugly four strand barbed wire fence on the property line between my property and the proposed new Bonsall school site. You also put an ugly No Trespassing sign on one of the strands of barbed wire facing my house. Since the fence is installed directly on the property line, it must conform to the Sycamore Ranch Declaration of Restrictions for fencing (copy was attached). I talked with Carlos Rodriguez (Bonsall School Maintenance). I told him that there was not a fence on the...

For the past several months we've read and heard countless times from major media and various officials that the recent presidential election was hacked (or influenced) by Russia. Not a single detail on how this was done is ever mentioned. Those media should be super-ashamed for repeating ad nauseam an allegation without providing one iota of backing. One can go around repeating “The sky is falling” and this is what those media have gotten to sound like, losing any shred of respect and credibility they might still have had...
Assemblymember Marie Waldron AD-75 (R) $400 billion dollars is the projected cost of a new government run healthcare plan proposed in Sacramento. That is twice the state's budget! Costing around $22,000 for every employed person in California – that's a massive new tax to pay for “free” healthcare for all! Senate Bill 562, by Senator Ricardo Lara (D – Bell Gardens), sets up a single payer plan for everyone living in California, including undocumented immigrants.
