Boiling ocean threatens to claim innocent Mexican island



No, that is not snow. That is the Pacific Ocean in a sunstorm. We have been hit by another one. It started last night. As I took this picture, the temperature on the porch was 85 degrees. This is JANUARY 30! This week, San Diegans have been wondering why the Super Bowl isn't played here every year. The NFL says it's because our stadium isn't up to standards, i.e. can't seat a minimum of 10,000 people in luxury boxes. That is true, but the real reason is that a lot of us pay quietly into a fund which pays lobbyists to influence the NFL to play the Super Bowl in places like Tampa Bay because if they play it here, television will show people in the East (average Jan. 30 temperature: 2) pictures like the one above and they will ALL MOVE OUT HERE. We don't have room for them.
