Volume 52 - No. 34 September 01, 2022
By Friedrich Gomez Every hour of every day, road rage occurs somewhere within our cities, counties, rural and urban sectors, within all 50 U. S. states – at alarming and increasing levels!
98% INCREASE IN ROAD RAGE! It is mindboggling that gun deaths and injuries in road rage inci-dents have increased 98% between 2017 to 2021 in America!
The tale of the tape is a most grisly one: road rage incidents have caused hundreds of horrific murders and more than 12,610 serious injuries to date . . . and counting!
IS SAN DIEGO COUNTY RATED HIGH IN ROAD RAGE?
2021 WAS THE DEADLIEST YEAR -- SO FAR! Our 2022 year is still yet to be played out, but, last year, 2021, was the deadliest year for road rage across the United States –thus far! According to the official database of the U. S. Government agency, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), an average of 44 people were shot (per month) in 2021. That is an intoxicating number to comprehend: Somewhere in our country, (more) than one person (per day) was shot in a road rage encounter . . . every single day . . . throughout the entire 2021 calendar year!
It is now a serious, nonstop, growing danger – to human safety and to human lives.

In releasing findings from the 2019 General Social Survey (one of the longest-running and most highlyregarded public opinion research projects in the nation), the Washington Post gave the sobering bottom line: “Americans are getting more miserable than ever before. We’ve come a long way from the peak happiness of the 1990s.” Such angst among a nation of citizens causes temper flare-ups and spontaneous release of pent-up emotions by millions of drivers on today’s roadways.

BOTTOM LINE: Road rage deaths due to gun violence have doubled compared to (pre-pandemic levels).
One fact-gathering by SafeMotorist.com claimed that as much as 66% of traffic fatalities are now caused by firearms, rather than just a typical accident. Retired California Highway Patrol veteran, Ken Daily of Los Angeles, says road rage is nothing new, but the behavior pattern is: “It’s nothing new, but now they have weapons.”

“AMERICANS ARE GETTING MORE MISERABLE, AND THERE’S DATA TO PROVE IT.” The handwriting was already on the wall back in 2019, when The Washington Post cited a most disturbing revelation in their bold headline: “Americans Are Getting More Miserable, and There’s Data to Prove It.”
And if all of this were still not enough, add to the above, the growing anxiety and uncertainty of a lifethreatening unemployment rate, rising economic and financial duress, socio-political strife, random school shootings, growing distrust and divisive anger in recent Supreme Court rulings, open and vented threats to our FBI and law enforcement -- all of this, have further divided a nation of people with distrust and division and pent-up anger. All of this, and more, have fueled short-tempers and vented rage on our national roadways.

By definition, road rage is: “Aggressive or angry behavior exhibited by a driver of a road vehicle, which includes rude gestures, verbal insults, physical threats, or dangerous driving methods targeted toward another driver in an effort to intimidate or release frustration.”
Keep in mind, road rage is not always reported because not all road rage ends in injury or death. In fact, road rage occurs anytime a driver hollers or yells an insult or gives an obscene physical gesture from their automobile to another vehicle and mutual tempers boil Roadover. rage is not always a physical altercation, although it may very well lead to that, or worse.

at UC Berkeley’s Institute of Governmental Studies asked nearly 8,500 Californian voters, including 872 San Diegans, to choose two leading concerns they would like state leaders to address. The top two statewide concerns were:
lic behavioral Implementationhealth.ofSB 964 will revitalize and expand California’s behavioral health workforce, and increase access to care for thousands of untreated or under-treated Californians dealing with serious mental illness and substance abuse problems. Ultimately, better care for the mentally ill will not only restore thousands of lives, it will lead to less homeless, less crime, and better, safer communities for all Californians.
TO ALLOW OR PREVENTING ANOTHER VEHICLE TO MERGE MAY CAUSE FRUSTRATION, ANGER & ROAD RAGE. Ignoring (or purposely preventing) another vehicle to safely merge into traffic is a common everyday scenario and can often lead to impatience, frustration, and vocal or physical confrontation. On congested public streets with heavy traffic (especially on Valley Parkway in Escondido), I always see a poor driver trying to merge from a shopping centre parking lot or a fast food

With nearly 50% of the homeless population living in California clearly, there's a Myproblem.office is always looking at ways to get people off the street, into housing and treatments, if necessary. Last week, I brought forth action that will address these issues with a simple, yet impactful approach. It’s called the “ByName List.” The By-Name-List will include the name, homeless history, health, and housing needs of every person experiagain. My father was a big fan of Alabama football. So am I. My wife bleeds houndstooth. As it happens, I was born during the third quarter of Coach Bryant’s Liberty Bowl. His farewell game. The Crimson Tide did battle with the Fighting Illinis. I came into the world after Jesse Bendross ran an 8-yard touchdown and Peter Kim kicked a field goal. At the moment of my earthly presentation, there was a television in the corner, broadcasting the game. My father was sitting before the TV. His nose, an inch from the Myscreen. mother was huffing. Throughout my delivery, the doctor would occasionally ask my mother, “How are we doing?” At which point my father would answer, “Twelve to fourteen. Alabama’s ball. Third down.” All my life I wanted to attend the University of Alabama. It was the emerald city at the end of the proverbial rainbow. The big dream. All my friends attended Alabama. I married into an Alabama family. I went to games with my pals. I smuggled alcohol into BryantDenny Stadium in well-known orifices of my body. But guys like me don’t go to college. I am an academic nobody. After my father died, my educational life became a colossal shipwreck. I became a dropout and an abject failure. I was a faceless ‘neck working construction, playing music in beer joints. I was one of a million guys with an Alabama “A” on the back of his 27-year-old IFord.went to community college as a grown man. Got my high-school equivalency. Tried to make something of myself.

Somehow I became me. Despite my own deficiencies. Somehow, there were other plans for me.
California’s mental health system is struggling to keep up with demand. Those seriously in need of treatment are trapped in a rotating cycle that takes them from living on the street, to the emergency room, sometimes to jail, then back to the street. Since more serious cases get the most attention, people with milder symptoms don’t receive needed care and often fall into the same cycle. Today, only about a third of Californians with mental illness receive the care they need, and 31 of California’s 58 counties with a “high need” for mental health services report a shortage of mental health caregivers. That must change quickly if we are to get a handle on this serious public health/safety problem. That’s why I joined Senator Scott Wiener as co-author of Senate Bill 964. Sponsored by the Steinberg Institute, the bill will create a “Behavioral Health Workforce Preservation and Restoration Fund.” SB 964 develops new coursework in our colleges and universities that focuses on behavioral health, creates an online job board where licensed providers can post job openings, eliminates bureaucratic barriers that prevent trained workers from entering the field, and requires a comprehensive analysis of California’s behavioral health workforce so we can meet the state’s growing needs. The bill also provides hiring and performance-based bonuses for workers and a stipend program for students in Master of Social Work programs with special focus on pub5th District Supervisor Jim Desmond encing homelessness, by consent and updated in real-time. The list will transform the strategy to end homelessness from an anonymous issue into one focused on each individual’s needs. It will also allow for providers to be much more effective at treating and knowing each person.

Liberal Democrat Bill Maher, who is more of a sage commentator than a professed comedian, recently pointed out more than a quarter of today’s American youth couldn’t qualify for our military because they’re too fat and out of shape … that includes a good deal of our 17 to 22-year olds. Maher and I are on opposite sides of the political spectrum, but I agree with him on many of his common-sensible observations such as the above mentioned. How many of today’s generation know anything? On-street interviews indicate just how much many of our 20-somethings don’t know simple things they should have learned in school ... like “Where is Europe?” “What city is our nation’s capital” and “who is (today’s) president?” It’s sad to tally the number of young people who couldn’t answer those questions. When simple math is presented to many of today’s youth, blank stares look back at you. Too many of today’s youth and even those sliding closer to middle age have their nose stuck into a smart phone. It’s frightening to know that many of those staring at their phone screens are not as “smart” as that piece of Yankee ingenuity they’re holding.
“Many” schools at most levels, but certainly not all, teach or offer very little history and virtually no geography. Sitting at the dinner table one evening some years ago I began quizzing my youngest son about what he was learning in school … the various world locations around the globe. At the time he was a senior in an Oceanside high school, When I gave up on him being able to answer locations around the world I began with questions of locations of various states and cities here in America. I ask him which direction he’d go to get to San Diego. He paused. He had no sense of geographic direction because geography wasn’t offered in his school. I was a bit perplexed at that last question because the weekend before I had taken the family down to Harbor Island in San Diego for Duringdinner.my early days at the old BladeCitizen a young 20-something asked me how to get to San Marcos because she was going to pitch an ad contract to a restauranteur. She was raised and went to school in Del Mar. She had no idea where San Marcos was. … a city some 20 miles from where she spent all of her (to then) life. Today our society is faced with a serious lack of “common sense.”

Consider the following: does it make sense to “defund” the police? Does it make sense to let criminals to walk free without bond? How ‘bout arresting parents for trying to address school boards? When schools experience budget crunches would it make sense to lay off white teachers first, regardless of tenure before less-experienced teachers of color as some unions in Minnesota have decided? And then there’s the growing problem of “gang looting?” Should students be made to feel guilty because of the color their skin? And most of all, how much sense does it make to open our southern border to anyone who wants to walk or swim across with little or no hindrance? Without borders we don’t have a nation. For those of us who have served in the military, been loyal Americans, paid our taxes, tried to be good citizens, and obey laws, the Jan. 6, 2021 mob riot on our Nation Capitol building was an affront to our national pride, history and all loyal Americans.

A friend of mine told me of an encounter he had recently with a 16year old lad who had lost his smart phone. He asked my friend if he could use his phone. The youngster was directed to the land-line phone hanging on the wall. He went over to the phone, and for a couple of moments decided how to take it off the wall. When he got it in his hand he stared at it before finally asking my friend how to proceed in making his call. Many classic car owners don’t have to fear having their vehicles stolen because most of those classic cars have standard transmissions and few people under 40 know how to operate a “stick” shift. Admittedly, that’s an unfair comparison because nearly all American-made vehicles made since the turn-of=the-century have automatic transmissions.
Q: I recently received a $6 bill from Hertz for toll charges from 2012. The company told me that a third party, Toll Processing Partners, conducted an audit during which it discovered a previous unpaid invoice. I contacted Hertz, and it suggested that I get in touch with Toll Processing Partners about the outstanding invoice. I called, but after keeping me on hold for 20 minutes, the company said it could not provide an invoice. I can't make payments on charges that are not correctly invoiced. It's unfortunate their accounting system allowed this issue to occur, but it is their issue to resolve, not Imine.just attempted to book a reservation through Hertz. It appears I am now on the Hertz Do Not Rent list. Hertz would prefer to lose business rather than simply write off a $6 charge. Can you help me get this straightened out? -- Marcus Hall, Simi Valley, Calif. A: I can't believe this happened. Sending a 10-year-old bill is highly unusual. But banning someone by adding them to the Do Not Rent list over $6 is absurd. You're a frequent business traveler, so Hertz stood to lose a lot of money by putting you on the Do Not Rent list. And yet it Itdid.wasn't your responsibility to chase down a third party involved in the transaction. After all, you rented a car from Hertz, not Toll Processing Partners. If you don't get a valid invoice, you should not have to Howpay.long can a car rental company hold you liable for your toll charges? Most businesses write off a debt after two years. (The government requires federal agencies to write it off after 24 months under most circumstances.) So Hertz was going way, way beyond normal business practices. And how about your banning? Hertz is, of course, free to put anyone it wants on its Do Not Rent list

Attached are copies of the trip insurance confirmation and the cost of the rental.

What Vrbo does -- or doesn't -- do with your money once it confirms the policy is not your Yourproblem.correspondence with Vrbo clearly shows that you purchased an insurance policy. That turned out to be a smart move because the policy covers an unexpected illness. Since a member of your party can't travel, you should get a full refund for your stay.

While there are many courteous male drivers, female motorists are far more likely to “take pity” on a car waiting to merge into a long line of stopped cars at a red light intersection.

A friend and I were discussing the news recently and he told me that the first thing he reads are the obituaries. I asked him why that was so interesting and he said, “I wanted to see if I was in the list and what was said about me. I also was curious about how old most of the deceased were. I always take satisfaction in knowing I have outlived them.” I find it interesting that he amused himself with this information. When I read the obituaries of someone I knew,I am always amazed at how much is written about the person I never knew. Most families spend hours gathering the bits and pieces of a person’s life. It must be a challenge at times. How would the deceased feel, reading what others felt was important? Would one be flattered or incensed if an important fact was left Perhapsout? it would be wise to keep a log of one’s own life, giving credit where credit is due and leaving out the superfluous. At least, when the time comes, as it will for each of us, the data will be there.
WHAT TO DO IN A ROAD RAGE SITUATION. You may be a perfectly courteous and respectful law-abiding driver and, still, you may fall prey to an irrational, drunk, or angry driver through no fault of your own.

Doors open at 6 p.m. and the show starts at 7:30 p.m. Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets or low-back chairs to enjoy the show.
Something’s brewing in Vista, and our city is becoming increasingly caffeinated with a growing coffee scene.

-----From Patrick Flannigan & his big Irish Clan, North San Diego County. From Another Writer
5th District Supervisor Jim Desmond can’t be quite as blunt as your irascible, grumpy old editor. But I can and did say it. I don’t trust SANDAG. They’ve lied to us before and diverted funds that should have come to North San Diego County. And now it appears they have lied again - lying by omission of information is just as bad as a bald faced lie. I’m beginning to think it’s time to start buying buckets of tar and big bundles of feathers . . . and letting SANDAG know, in no uncertain terms, how the people feel about their underhanded ways.

Greetings Escondido, A City’s role in general is to provide services that add to the Quality of Life of its residents. The quality of those services help define the profile and reputation of the city. And as we all know, the better we can make them, the more desirable the city becomes to live, work, play and invest.
Publishers are humans,too. The old joke, who asked Mary Todd Lincoln,"Other than the shooting Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?" Answer. The playwright. Yes, we writers are ego driven, though most would not agree that is true. We all love to get compliments on our work. A natural and healthy desire. In your case you have a fine line to walkselecting the writer, the topic and giving the writer the freedom to say what has to be said. An exacting task. When all this comes to fruition and resonates with a reader who takes the time to actually write to you, by all means strut. Most of us get far too few accolades for what we do. Also, some say that for everyone who took the time to write, 10 others had the same thought. Bust the buttons on your shirt. Smile. Smile. Smile. Ain't life grand?. /s/ Pete Peterson, Escondido, CA.

Steel Mill Coffee and the soon to be opened Archer’s Arrow, both on Main Street, and Cat and Craft cat café in the Business Park have all made their homes in the city and are bringing new flavor notes to the growing scene.

Since 2010 the Internet, with its access to virtually the entire range of human knowledge, has come to dominate PC usage. PCs and to a large extent smart phones have become little more than Internet access devices. Since the 1970s we have been conditioned to think of computers and cell phones as part of an ever evolving, ever improving technological process that renders our older devices obsolete every couple of years. That all changed as the Internet became the main focus of technology over the last few years. Making the entire universe of human knowledge available and inventing innovative ways process and use it became a job for high speed, high power Internet servers. Our PCs no longer need fast CPUs, mass storage devices and lots of memory to hold and process data from the Internet. For the most part our PCs need only to receive, display and transfer data.
Lenovo PC with an AMD Ryzen or Intel CPU, 32GB of DDR4 RAM and a 1TB SSD might set you back $2000 but it won’t handle the Internet any faster than your ten year old PC. A small percentage of business and professional users still use ‘high task” off-line, stand alone applications on powerful PCs but even these applications are being increasingly replaced by applications run on high speed Internet Forservers.the past decade PC makers and smart phone manufacturers have continued to emphasize speed and capacity gains made in their hardbefore Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerburg were even born. When we got started Bill Gates and Steve Jobs still had all their baby teeth. We enjoy coming to work because we get to use our experience to help people make good decisions. We really love that we can help folks make decisions that save them money and fit their needs. Staying in touch with the technology in our industry is fun, interesting and useful. Helping our business and home customers with technologies that make their lives safer, simpler and more enjoyable makes us feel good about what we do.

of Independence was signed on July 4, 1776 after years of colonists becoming frustrated and the king becoming more belligerent. However, it wasn’t until September 17th, 1787, that this fledgling country became the United States of America with the signing of the Constitution. It wasn’t until the Constitution was written and adopted as the law of the land that this country, these people, would become one. In 1955 the Daughters of the American Revolution petitioned Congress to set aside a week in September to honor the United States Constitution, and in so doing, to garner public attention, to encourage the study, and thus, the understanding of and respect for the law of the land. Public Law 91 was signed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower proclaiming September 17-23 as Constitution Week in America. This annual event honors the legacy of our patriot ancestors, their willingness to give everything for the sake of independence. Honoring our Constitution and its legacy is reason to celebrate. Join us also at 1pm at the Mission San Luis Rey as we celebrate Bells Across America signifying the ringing of the town criers bell calling the citizens to hear about the signing. The DAR is a volunteer service organization dedicated to promoting patriotism, preserving American history and securing America’s future through better education. It is open to any female eighteen years of age or older who is lineally descended from an ancestor who participated in some way in America’s fight for independence in the American Revolutionary War. juliecalvariodar@gmail.comContact
