Southern California Edison Web Page Has Problems

All I wanted to do was to get information on when and where there were power outages.  I went to this web page, https://www.sce.com/wildfire/psps-alerts.  I tried to sign up for text messages.  On that page I chose the option “Text Alerts”.  I mouse clicked on the number “28954” and a text message window appeared on my computer desk top.  I entered the word “ENROLL” into that text message box and got an error.   (This error was discovered September 6, 2020)…

Dickey’s Barbecue Pit Review

Dickey’s Barbecue Pit Review

My son recommended we do a take out order from Dickey’s Barbecue Pit located near our home.  We ordered three Westerner sandwiches.  We got the sandwiches home and were disappointed.  I can make much better BBQ sandwiches so what is the point in buying from this place?  There was no barbecue sauce on the sandwich or as a side.  The raw onions in the sandwich were also a bit harsh, totally unexpected.  The onions should be grilled in my opinion. …

San Diego Bay Park Fish Company.

San Diego Bay Park Fish Company.

Date of visit: May 27, 2012 The concierge for the Hilton San Diego Spa and Resort recommended the Bay Park Fish Company for an early dinner because we were in San Diego during Memorial Day weekend and restaurants and parking were getting slammed.  The concierge recommended this restaurant because it is visited more by local people and not by tourists.
