The Five Day Gap
Posted by Simon
Nurit and I were going on a short trip during the Christmas/Hanukkah break to Charleston for a wedding and to see Rebecca, Gene and Carole. I have pictures but that will be another post. We decided not to take our laptops because we now have Iphones and we can do email and access the web from them. I wrote a few blog posts in advance so that I could keep posting dailyish and off we went. Unfortunately I didn’t have the url necessary to access the edit mode on my page and so I wasn’t able to make the brilliant posts I’d written. I’ll post them over the next few days and spend some time luring back my disappointed readers.
Symbiotic Dogs

Here is an example of a symbiotic relationship. At a new Mall in South San Diego County they put in a dog Park then they rented space next to the dog park to a Veterinarian. Very good idea. Everybody benefits.
Sunset
Posted by Simon
On December 15 we drove over to Beverly Hills for a Stand With Us event and on the way we were treated to a magnificent sunset. We took a, not very good, picture of it with the cell phone through the windshield.
Trust me it was incredible. Last Friday night we were in San Diego and we saw another one. It wasn’t quite as beautiful but the picture came out better.
Southern California is the promised land.
Simon’s Holiday Wish

“May your stock rise up to meet you
May all your creditors pay you back
and may the Federal Reserve who print beyond all understanding
Bail you out also in the New Year.”

Thinking about Education
Posted by Simon
UCLA Law Professor Eugene Volokh is a libertarian. He had this to say about education:
“I think that government funding for K-12 education is probably a good idea. At the same time, it’s not clear to me that the government should run the schools. The government funds food for the poor, but we don’t tell the poor to go to a government run food store. If we did, we would be pretty sure that it would be a lousy food store.”
I agree. The k-12 education model is not working.
A non liberal on the UCLA law faculty is a good thing. He has a blog site called the Volokh Conspiracy which is creative.
