Great game tonight in 10 innings. As always when the other team scores at the top of an inning in overtime you think it is over. But they came back and then amazingly, with a runner in third, got a free base because the pitcher balked.

Had dinner at Cotijas in Point Loma, San Diego. This is a good combo: 3 rolled tacos, a fish taco and a bean and cheese burrito. I eat the tacos and if I am still hungry I eat half of the burrito and save the rest for later. Cotijas is next to Stumps and has a nice, local feel. Everyone knows this place.

Got a good response from my Trader Joes story about the ribeye steak. Today I went to San Diego's best deli DZ Akins. Wanted some meat and cheese, but not too much and some lettuce so I had a huge Chef Salad with 1000 Island dressing. $15 but as always DZ Akins is very high quality and consistent so even though you always feel like you paid a pretty penny for the meal, you also always enjoy the meal. Perhaps never have I had a disappointing meal there. Here is someone else's pic of the Chef Salad and you can see how much meal and cheese is in there. Also comes with bagel and cream cheese or bread with butter, of your choice. I love the sandwiches there as well. My favorite is the Tuna Melt. Noticed that is now up to 12.95. I remember when it was 9.95. Here is a pdf link to the entire menu (prices were about $1 per item more even than this menu): https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=4&cad=rja&...
Just had a suberb $10 steak from Trader Joes in San Diego that I grilled plus Bob Evans mashed potatoes which really hit the spot. Also listening to the Padre game but lost again. Still a good time How to get there: https://www.google.com/search?q=trader+joe%27s+san+diego+mission+valley&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
Anyone ever been to the Salton Sea or the Algodones sand dunes east of San Diego? People should read the fascinating history of how the Sea was made by a flood and the sand dunes were unable to be crossed until Ed Fletcher built a wooden road so people could drive to Phoenix for the first time. Here are some links: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algodones_Dunes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salton_Sea Also Google them and use the Google satelitte map to look down on them. Here is a pic of the waterways that created the Salton Sea:
