I spent some time helping out my daughter’s friend this afternoon. A bit of chaos descended last week. While he was at the hospital for treatment of an injury, San Diego parking enforcement towed the larger of two RVs, which was his domicile along with our daughter. Reason: The vehicle parked in the same location for more than 72 hours, which caused it to be classified as derelict. For sure, because he was injured.
They were in transition from a 37-footer to something little more than 20 feet long. As Voice of San Diego explains: “Cops Crack Down on RV Living“, and it’s the big ones they primarily target. A day or two later, and our daughter’s friend wouldn’t have lost so many personal belongings in the tow-job. (Shall we just call it theft?)
I gave him a ride to the dock to buy gas—for the RV and generator that supplements the solar system. Pelicans hung out around the dock, and I had to take a few photos using Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. Successor S26 Ultra arrives tomorrow via UPS.
Strangely, price of gas at the dock wasn’t outrageously high compared to local filling stations. Later, in the city, I saw 25 cents lower and a half buck higher. Prices are rising, presumably in part because of the war with Iran. What you see in the Featured Image is at least a dollar more than seen the previous week.
