Thank you to the Good Morning Newport crew for having me on as a interviewee! Pensions that are unfunded and dog catchers making $180,000/year? Here we go:

Councilwoman Diane Dixon has launched a Hitpiece against political opponent, Mike Glenn, which hit mailboxes throughout the city yesterday. Dixon’s mailer contains an error, though: the entire mailer. First, let’s start with the front of it where she proclaims herself to be something great for Newport.  The photo she used?  Know where that is?  It’s Newport, Rhode Island.  That’s the …

Remember that Sunday morning we set our clocks BACK by one hour, so that 1:59am actually happens twice in one day. Daylight savings has to do with energy savings, particularly in old factories.  By slightly adjusting the clock to account for the changes in the sunrise and sunset times, employers were able to save money on heating and electricity.  (Sorry, “Simpsons” fans: it …

If you were looking for some peace and quiet on the beach, it ain’t happening today or this weekend!  It is the third annual air show in Huntington Beach, for the first time this year it is renamed the Great Pacific Air Show. It begins today at 11 and will last until 4, but you can anticipate the show to …

In the last few days we’ve had rain, thunderstorms, one heck of a 360-degree lightning show, 65mph winds, and a “red fire” warning lasting until 8 p.m. last night. The rain was much needed. The thunderstorms were soothing. The lightning show was amazing. But that Santa Ana wind.  That was something else.  The last time we had gusts like that, …
