I am trying to get from the San Diego airport tomorrow evening (6:30) to Carlsbad/Oceanside in a reasonable amount of time without spending too much money. Is a cab my only option?

Thanks, this would be a good option, but I wouldn't be able to get there by the last train at 7:08

What's it like crossing the border, does it take a long time when you're going over on a bus?

Is there a phone number to call, that way if someone found her they could call right away?

There are city community centers around town that have gyms. It only costs a couple dollars per visit or you can get 20 visit pass for a reduced rate. They don't have any contracts or sales people like a normal gym which is nice.

Here is a list of some of them: http://www.portlandonline.com/parks/finder/index.cfm?ShowResults=yes&AmenityTypeID=21

I would like to get into this as well. I've been reading around over the last few months and it seems like a quadcopter type setup is cheaper and better for an amateur to get into aerial photography. I don't think the cheaper beginner type rc-helis are actually able to lift a camera (especially a dslr), but less expensive quadcopters can.

Here is a 8 part video series on how to build your own I have called around to some of the local hobby shops and none of them seem to carry the proper parts, so you would most likely have to order everything.

Better Bargains in NE is pretty good, they seem to have some of the best prices and always have some kind of tag sale.

It's no longer for sale there, it found a good home.

There are 2 skydiving places about 45 minutes from Portland. "Skydive Oregon" which has been mentioned and "Skydive Eagle Creek". Both are about the same price for a tandem jump. Eagle Creek is a lot smaller of an operation, but more likely to be flexible with scheduling and groups.

No. This is not a new idea. One I saw a few years ago was trashed by a bunch of drunk dudes.

That is a guy who built his own bike trailer to live out of, this is about someone wanting to give out small push trailers for free to people who may need them, 2 different things.

Here is more info on that guy and his trailer: http://bikeportland.org/2006/11/10/motorhome-bike-makes-portland-appearance-2516

Here is an interesting concept using a shopping cart: http://www.kevincyr.net/index.php?/ongoing/camper-kart/

I was actually on their website yesterday to send them an email and on the homepage I saw "Why is our name Plaid Pantry?" and clicked it

I stopped by this earlier today, unfortunately the rain had gotten to it. I put in a piece of paper and turned the knob, but it felt all squishy and in the dispenser part there was a single soaked card laying there with the corner coming off. I read it and buried it a few blocks away in a sidewalk planter.

Just curious, what kind of car was it?

It's a legitimate business http://bit.ly/GWniM4 he's probably out marketing his business with signs at a relatively low price to get people in, network and sell more services in the future.

I don't see what's wrong with a cell number. I know lots of businesses that use cell phones as their primary number. Cell phones offer voicemail, what more does a land line really offer?

Ok, here's the best I could do: http://imgur.com/a/U3af8#0

That was taken pretty late, sometime after midnight when it tends to be fairly calm this time of year. If it has been raining a lot or it's late spring during runoff the water might be rough and during the summer at night it can get pretty windy and choppy. It will also be smoother during the low tide points throughout the day: http://www.protides.com/oregon/2181/

Andy & Bax Sporting Goods has a pretty good selection. The place is kind of mix between an Army Surplus and Next Adventure, but without the expensive name brands, it's actually just a couple blocks from Next Adventure.
