As the Republican National Convention starts, what voters can expect in contrast to the Democratic Convention. Plus, as the new school year begins, some students are returning to campus at San Diego State, will the university avoid the fate of other schools where young students ignored health warnings and socialized in mass gatherings? Also, a video produced 30 years ago showing a young Tony Krvaric, who is the chairman of the county Republican Party, with images of Adolf Hitler and Nazi imagery resurfaces. In addition, battling the many wildfires around the state is a tough enough job as it is and the pandemic is adding to the challenge. And, what happens to our brains when suddenly nothing is normal, such as in a pandemic? Hint: mostly our brains adapt. Finally, the plucky local roller-derby organization, Derby United, opened its outdoor, two-rink facilities just weeks before the pandemic forced them to shut down. Now, they’re pivoting to keep the skates rolling.
