ParticipantI have seen it all, Norv Turner outcoached Tony Dungy. I can almost list Norv in the asset column of my beloved Bolts. If he did anything right this year it was changing defensive coordinators, something Allan has been pointing to for a few years as the real problem, that defensive shuffle was the perfect antidote to manning. Regarding the topic, “who needs LT”, just the fact that the other team doesn’t know if he will play is an advantage, it hurts them to not know what to prepare for, hopefully it will be gametime decision again next week.
There is one player that the Chargers need to pay whatever he wants and never lose him, no it’s not L.T., sproles, gates or rivers. It’s Mike Scifres, the punter. For the first time in my life I researched the contract of a punter (fyi, they have him under contract until 2011). I have never seen a more perfect game from a punter, if they lose him I will break things, lots of things, good things, maybe A.J.’s things. No team designs a game plan to compensate from being pinned against the goal line on almost every posession, it was a thing of beauty.

ParticipantNo, just the short term, but if you have to commute 60 miles away don’t move here, I’m all out of energy to make these arguments again and again so just read older posts. I’ve taken about half a dozen off site e-mails from people asking about that tract, I always tell them to look elsewhere, it is a low price leader for a reason. Zero ammenities other than maybe a little parkette, minimal communal landscape, horrible location adjacent to the 79, zero view (entirely flat and at the lowest elevation of S. Temecula) and no signal light or stop sign to get out of the tract, it is the furthest tract housing to the East so you always need to make a left onto a 50mph highway that is fairly busy. Anyone travelling that far is heading to a casino, winery, the desert or to palm springs and by the time you get to that tract you are out of town and step on the gas (lots of trucks and rv’s so you can really hear them). There is no way in or out without going onto a highway, if you have kids, they will never be able to ride bikes or walk safely outside of the tract. It is bordered by a flood control channel, a highway and commercial buildings/storage facility. Regardless of whether the town appeals to you, this is one of the worst locations for residential in that town, hence the price. When they were new, they were 100k less than other places, now that prices have dropped, the difference is less, for 30-50k more you can pick a nice neighborhood a mile away. When prices rise (regardless when that is) the places in the worst location, like that one, will not rise as fast and the gap will be even more pronounced. There are only a few tracts in the primarily commercial strip North of the creek/flood control channel and South of Highway 79, the other two were there before the commercial development and have entrances/exits to the rear, this one does not and a bonehead job of zoning. Because it is not in the city of temecula (it is unincorporated county) they had no say in it’s development, so they wont be putting in a signal light any time soon.

ParticipantI agree with sduude about this post bringing out the best in the piggies, but I have a different wrinkle. I see a lot less anger on this site and feel less myself. The bubble frustrated us, it was like we were caught in a bad dream, we all knew something was wrong but nobody would listen. Then the election came and brought anger and distraction. Now that logic is slowly returning to the market, we are starting to find peace, with our world and each other. I cherish the calming posts by Enorah, Temeku and Ca renter and others, how they mention nature, zen, yoga, etc. it caused me to crack open my Lao Tzu and remind myself that an imperfect and sometimes chaotic world is actually what is supposed to happen and there is beauty in imperfection. Horrible storms, floods and fires always result in regrowth and rebirth, it is the way of things, realizing it is normal to have cycles is the key. The last cycle was like a year that winter never came, summer went on too long and it freaked us out, winter showed up and with a vengence but at least it came and we feel better that the seasons have returned. Now that greed seems to be taking a back seat to happiness, I am optimistic about our world, these times may not be that bad at all (I have never met anyone who lived through the great depression that I didn’t think benefited from the experience). The original poster is not unlike any of us with worries about the future, stocks, housing and interest rates, while we gave him advice on choosing happiness and health over wealth, we were actually giving ourselves that advice because our views are slowly and collectively changing. All of you have had an effect on my own well being during the bad dream phase so let me take this opportunity to thank each of you and wish you a very Happy New Year, not neccesarily a prosperous one or a lucky one but a Happy one.
p.s. this philisophical diatribe was written without the assistance of wine so forgive my transgression, it is a direct result of the 40 minute “mental yoga” that i performed courtesy of a 1990 vintage rocky patel cigar, further evidence of my cigar mental reset theory.

ParticipantCan I retract my statement about sending the kids to public school, at the time I said that, the details about the special needs hadn’t been mentioned. In retrospect, the rest of the advice still stands, perhaps more so. Your wife needs you alive and working, she also needs you contributing more than just financially, her days may be harder than yours if you think about it, she needs wine too. Work less, refi to 30, and do more dad stuff. This will also give you the physical ability and the time for a little lovin with the wifey, another stress reliever and a vital component to a happy marriage, always keep the home fire stoked.
The cigar comment isn’t a flippant hedonistic remark that I am known to make, it is serious. The negative health effects of a cigar a few times a week are outweighed by the benefits. Cigars are not like cigarettes, you can’t have them while doing something else. After dropping ten bucks on a good stick, you are forced to spend thirty minutes outside just sitting, thinking and relaxing. It is one of the great unknown health secrets because it forces you to push the “reset” button on life. George Burns, Sinatra, Milton Berle, Castro, all iconic cigar men and all lived past 80 despite lifestyles that most would consider hazardous to one’s health. If you see someone and they always seem to have a cigar in hand, expect to keep seeing them.
Thanks xbox and carlsbad on the props, I was on my third glass of wine when I wrote it. I took your advice and reread it myself, It kinda scares me that I make more sense when I’m drinking.
sdr, the cookie joke was something I saw on a t-shirt, it seemed fitting
