Show Notes
Both the San Diego Padres and the San Diego Wave FC had major playoff wins this weekend. We take a look into sports fandom and why it matters to people. Then, reprimands were issued last week for two Navy SEAL leaders and a senior medical officer in connection with the death of Seal trainee Kyle Mulle. Next, we take a closer look at the November election as a new cannabis tax measure could bring in millions of dollars from businesses in unincorporated San Diego County. And, Measure B would allow the city to study the feasibility of charging trash pickup fees for single-family homeowners by repealing the century old People’s Ordinance. Then, people in Imperial County are expecting a gold rush, and the gold is a lightweight metal called Lithium. Finally, with Halloween just around the corner, it is the perfect time to enter the macabre world of Edgar Allan Poe. For the fifth year Write Out Loud hosts Poefest, a celebration of the author and all things strange and other-worldly.
