#Padres fans flocked to @Caffe_Adesso in Alpine, which is owned by Joe Musgrove's family, to celebrate and support Musgrove's no-hitter. I went out there too and spoke with a whole bunch of them, which you can watch in this video:

Great story of Hometown Joe Musgrove and his family's experience of his no-hitter: http://enewspaper.sandiegouniontribune.com/infinity/article_share.aspx?guid=6a77ab15-89fe-4b18-9862-323d9d6c718e - There's no-no place like home

"Jim the Realtor is legit - I interviewed three brokers; he said list price should be $100,000 higher than the other two brokers; listed it with him and had all cash (no financing) offer in two days, five day contingency period, closing in two weeks - and it closed at his recommended list price. I could not recommend anyone more than I recommend Jim the Realtor. more "

"When we moved to San Diego in 2005 we rented a big house on Mt. Soledad (La Jolla) with 180 degree ocean views for the same payment as a mortgage on a dump in Chula Vista. Clearly something was wrong. Yet, the media was full of the usual happy-talk nonsense, so I was glad to find Jim's blog. I've followed his honest assessments and data since. more "

"Where do we begin..2020 has been a year for everyone. When COVID hit and shut down both my husband and my businesses, we were left with a mortgage and very little income coming in. We were stressed, scared and felt stuck. We made the hard decision to sell our home and move out of state. We contacted the Klinges' and spent a good hour going over what we hoped we could accomplish. Jim and Donna came over with comps in hand and suggestions on improvements to get our house ready for the market. It was overwhelming to think about, but Donna was there and one step ahead in every scenario. more "

"Jim and Donna Klinge made the sale of our condo extraordinarily easy. They know the market and gave us sound advice backed by details and very considerable experience, reflected both in the initial pricing and subsequent negotiations. They work together as a team and are always available to talk. more "

"I cannot believe there are no reviews of Donna yet, ugh!! She is the secret sauce of the Jim Klinge/Donna Klinge combo! I will touch on Jim here, but Donna is why I'm so totally loyal to these two (no offense to Jim :)).
I consider myself a rather savvy buyer/seller. I've bought/sold 7 times in more "

"Jim and Donna Klinge are by far the most professional, personable and responsive realtors I have ever worked with. They provide VIP concierge level service in every area of the process of selling your home. My home was marketed so successfully that we received an offer the day after our first and only open house. Thanks to Jim's pricing and negotiating, our house is now the highest sold in our community... more "

“…she’s gonna hit me!”
*Chuckle* Um, doesn’t she know you’re Jim the Realtor and you have groupies like me?…
Hey Jim, this is your best video ever
describing what is going on in California.
Glad I moved to Maui long ago.
That looked like either a Voodoo doll or “what” dangling from her rear view mirror??? It better not have been the symbol for the Hawaiian warrior
because that wouldn’t be pono.
how much did they want for the 1br shack?I would be downing lots of prozac living there.
is that aged/over-weighed roseanne barr ranting at you?
Jim, get out of her way, she’s late for her drum circle!
re: traffic lady: one more reason to pack up and move out of CA, anywhere but south!
Given her level of rage, it’s more likely she’s late for her Tea Party rally. Hippies are mellower.
You are looking at that lady all wrong. Have some fun with her. Either 1) Stop and put the car in reverse or 2) Stop and put the car in park. If she passes you on the shoulder then you can tailgate her. hopefully, she isn`t carrying a gun.
That was so funny!
swm, you forgot option 3) Slow down even more, then wave when she swerves around you and passes. And as you mentioned, hopefully she doesn’t have a gun…or know voodoo.
I did stop the car and went back to her window, which she was happy to open, and she continued her rant. I gave her the business.
I probably should have kept the camera rolling? Next time…..
I’ve reflected further. This video will certainly make an appearance on JtR’s Top Ten List for 2010. If he had kept the camera rolling, it would be voted #1 unanimously…
SD folks probably suffer worse traffic over a larger region/distances than those of us in “LA”. The 5 in particular is a cramped 6 lane deal through most of North SD county. Compare that to the 5 through most of OC, which could easily fit a subdivision in its lanes.
JtR can get something like this to put on the back of his car, you know, to keep raging tailgaters at bay: http://www.cafepress.com/+i_do_not_dial_911_funny_gun,295023263
Actually, this would be more apropos to JtR’s situation: http://www.cafepress.com/+in_range_bumper_sticker,35638713
Hah, if only you kept the video running on the woman with the shrunken heads for the entire trip, what a classic it would have been!
I’m guessing she does know voodoo and that thing hanging from her rear-view mirror, was just some poor soul wanting a little head. But I digress…
That was a situation where a James Bond Aston Martin would come in handy – push a button and spew some oil or smoke out the back end.
dacounselor: Maybe that’s why he’s buying those old beater trucks which will do that without pushing the button.
