Goodbye to San Diego

[Anonymous]

I have to admin St George doesn’t sound super exciting. Given that type of summertime heat, I would rather live in Tucson area for retirement. Tons of great golf courses, Pac12 University and decent amount of culture and entertainment, good hospitals and large airport right there.

90% white and 70% Mormon. That spells a near complete void of culture. I’d take Tucson over it in a N.Y. Minute

I haven’t turned on my AC yet for the summer. Actually come to think about it, haven’t used it for 2021 yet.

For my previous primary, it was one of those run down 5/3 stucco boxes in the slum part of 92130 that didn’t even come with AC. I never used AC since I moved into that slum area from 2004 to when I moved out in 2019. When my latest tenant moved in, they asked if I could install AC, and being a good landlord I did. I spent $7500 to install a brand new furnace and AC unit, figuring it’s about 1.5 months of rent, and a tax writeoff, and would elevate my slum house to something closer to modern day standards…. My tenant hasn’t turned it on yet… I guess there’s an advantage of being close enough to the ocean to get a nice ocean breeze….

In Temecula, if you just lie still on the cool tile floor, you are ok. Just don’t get up

You have tile???? Damn Scardey that’s a luxury. My slum house in 92130 doesn’t even have tile. It has that plvinyl that marketing now calls “luxury linoleum”….Some of us can’t even afford the finer things in life like tile, except when sparingly used in the smaller bathrooms. That and those pesky lizards and too many damn walls in far flung drug infested 92130…as BG use to call it…

For my retirement, I’d probably like to stay here part time and part time in the bay area. Hopefully by the time my kid goes off to college in 3 years(I hope), I can finally become a tech exec and finally be able to do what I’ve always wanted to do: get back to my Bay Area tech roots where it all started. Good grief, I’ll be half a century old by then and should be getting my AARP card also…I won’t be able to step into Tipsy Crow anymore half drunk and still like it was 2 years ago before the pandemic . Biggest complement was when the bouncer was like damn you asians don’t look anywhere near your age… It goes downhill soon though…Stick a fork in me.

I already found a BINGO club at the senior center in Sunnyvale, CA.

On the topic of culture this will surprise most if not all of you about SD being an up and coming cultural center in the world!

More Broadway plays start their productions in San Diego before getting taken to Broadway than any city in the world. Any… City.. In.. The… World!

UCSD was recently named as one of the top 5 theatre schools in the World. Big things are happening here

We are definitely seeing some growth here. Can’t wait to see the lightrail build out. Pretty cool the lightrail will go as far as UTC/Genesse medical center area now.

You are so in luck… You see, last night I tried exactly what Scardey was saying, and laid down on my walk in closet that has tile (yeah, I’m moving up in the world..whooohoo)…And he’s right. If it’s probably 5 degrees cooler lying on the tile.

But that’s not all. While I was staring at the ceiling, I noticed a large box I had not unpacked from my old place….So I got up and unpacked it…And oh my god, what a treasure I found inside the box that i totally forgot I had since I was a kid…

It’s BINGO … with a STEEL CAGE!!!!! as it says on the box!!!! Whooohooo. None of this made in china plastic shit you find these days… This hand crafted BINGO playset has withstood the test of time. I think it was from the late 1970s, maybe early 1980’s from Golden Circle (see the old price sticker still on it). Golden Circle was the dept store that was renamed to “Target”…

Checkout the cool bingo boards. Even if you can’t get off your back from the tile…you can still play BINGO with these boards. These are high tech chip-less BINGO boards that were invented probably from the early 80ies!!!!

Hey you, me and AN…. we can now play BINGO…No need to go all the way to St George for a killer bingo game. We can do this right out side my backyard, without AC of course, if you don’t mind the lizards, too many walls, in far flung lizard infested (new) 92130 house.

The bingo boards are a little funky. They use old car makers name, some of thee youngester millenials never heard of…

So for example, you’ll have say B(uick) – Pontiac..

BINGO!!!

Come to think about it. Maybe some old fart on ebay will pay a fortune for this…hmmmm. let me check…
This was made by “Pressman Toy” in New York, NY.

So often the correct choice is to be still and do nothing.

When I tell my hot wife to just lie on the floor with me and skip the a/c she is generally unamused.

Might as well live in Vegas! At least there is something to do there!
