This truly has been a terrible tragedy, in fact a wake up call for all of us. However, saying this as a regular Amtrak passenger from Santa Barbara to San Diego in my opinion the train is the most comfortable way to travel. Yes, there have been journeys when we have arrived late, at times extremely late, but recently this problem has been rare. In fact last month we arrived in Solana Beach ten minutes early! I find it a joy to arrive and greet the family feeling relaxed and happy instead of exhausted and frazzled, on the verge of a physical and mental breakdown after hours of fighting the freeway with it's smog, crazy drivers, backed up traffic and rush hour madness. God Bless you Amtrak, please continue upgrading plans and please keep us safe.

Thank you for bringing back this wonderful exhibit. My son's very favourite place to visit on a rainy day.

One can assume the exact location is rarely given because it could cause a panic and encourage local trigger happy hunters to go out and senselessly slaughter innocent harmless birds.

Campaign Burnout ?
What gives you the impression people have tired of the campaign and/ or have decided on their vote ? As far as one can see there are many responsible voters who are as yet undecided and need to know more about the candidates of both parties. To say the least this is by far the most stimulating and challenging election of many decades and to assume it is a done deal of the majority of citizens must be presumptive.

What a tragedy. On a beautiful and joyous early morning a bereaving family was possibly robbed of a beloved energetic, community involved fun wife, mother , and grandmother, by another 's irresponsible split second selfish action behind the wheel of his or her death weapon. These mindless people should be locked up without bail if under the influence of drink, and prevented from driving any time soon. This carnage has to stop. Too many innocent and valuable people are falling victims to this senseless slaughter on the roads.

It makes sense for an organic and health food business to follow the codes for a healthy living environment. This clearly would mean they should be obligated to provide sanitary and normal living conditions for their employees, along with showing consideration for the natural concerns of their neighbours.

Great restaurant and best non greasy gourmet pizza one can find in town.

Who really cares about all this ? The bottom line is all this hoo ha is not worth a can of beans and a waste of valuable reading time. Edwards is just another unimportant sleek haired pip squeak non person who will fade into history along with all the other characters mentioned in this article, leaving behind nothing but a bad taste and a disillusioned and hurt family.

If as he says he will leave if told to do his job by enforcing the law, he should go and make room for a grownup.

Another doomed old friend and tradition to add to the long and growing list of long gone favourites : The Earthling, The Copper Coffee Pot, Otts, Talk of The Town, Hughes,Andera's, Napoleon Cafe and Bakery ( oh that fragrant bread, warm and freshly baked), Museum of Art Cafe, Sambo's ( one left at the Beach), Gervasoni's ( remember their beautiful Christmas display?), Tecalote and all those special shops in El Paseo and the wonderful ambience that has vanished with them, Pier 1, Pep Boys, Eddie Bauer, Nature Company, Body Works, Crabtree and Evelyn, and so on and so forth. Sigh. But hey, we have a Starbuck's on every block and perhaps some more so life must be good.
