Riding Shotgun With Charlie #217 Desi Bergman Not Me SD   I met Desi Bergman at GunProm held by San Diego County Gun Owners back in June of 2022. I met a lot of people that weekend. I may have been “over self-served.” But at Gun Rights Policy Conference in 2024, we got to meet again. And I'll remember it this time. (Gulp!) I always plan on filming shows while I'm on a trip, and GPRC 2024 was no different. But I had to make changes to my plans. Desi and I caught up on the Friday evening social. I asked if she was interested in doing the show and she agreed to it. We headed to Coronado Island and got a selfie at Dog Beach.   As a young child, guns were always around for her and her family. Her grandparents owned a farm in central California. While her dad was out checking the property, she was the girl who was shooting at rabbits from the truck with a BB gun. Her father was a sheriff reserve and taught the kids to respect firearms, how to be safe, and how to shoot. One of her prized possessions is her father's Colt Python. When her mother inquires about it, she keeps telling her it's in for repair.    Having been in San Diego for 13 years, she discovered San Diego County Gun Owners about five years ago. I had Michael Schwartz from SDCGO on episode #153. Desi & Michael met at a BBQ for SDCGO. He was telling her about Not Me SD and how he was trying to get it up and going. She loved the idea and got involved in volunteering to learn more about it. When the virus that shall not be named hit,they needed someone to be more involved. She stepped up and took on the part-time role. There were some instructing certifications she needed and earned. Having them gives her more credentials for converting women to gun ownership.    Not Me SD is a program for women who are survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. The program takes the women all through the process to get a CCW in California. They have scholarships for those in need. They teach the women all aspects of self defense, from situational awareness, pepper spray, and firearms. Since 2020, females are the largest growing demographic of firearms owners and those who are seeking out training. Not Me is a huge resource for women who want help.    They have regular and monthly get-togethers for training and shooting socials, as they call them. This pairs women up with instructors. We do talk about the process to get a permit in The Golden State. There's a quick and easy 30 question test to get the firearm safety card, which is step one. We did talk about what makes a good first gun for a woman. Of course there is no “correct” answer, but it was fun to talk about. Desi used a term about GLOCK that I hadn't heard before. She called it the “Honda of the gun world.” Ya know, she's not wrong. We also talked about the SIG P365 getting added to the CA roster and using red dots.    One of the amazing success stories from Not Me SD is of a woman who was shot in the neck twice by her ex-husband. Not only did she survive the incident but she got into firearms and self protection, she enjoyed learning and turned into a survivor. A big step for DV survivors is actually hearing the gun being fired. Her program has reached over 1,300 women. Everytime she is on a local TV show, she has more and more people reaching out to get training and education.    California has a roster, much like Massachusetts. Both states have lots of restrictions and unconstitutional laws about firearms. We also have so-called assault weapon bans and magazine restrictions.    Desi and I talked more about Not Me SD while we drove to Coronado Island. We grabbed a selfie at Dog Beach. San Diego is a beautiful place. The weather is amazing. It could be a perfect place, but the gun laws in Cali… Not so much.  Favorite quotes: “I was holding a gun since I was two years old and I could hold one.” “I like to have all the qualifications because it help me articulate better when I'm teaching these classes.” “GLOCKS are the Honda of the gun world.” “We always end the day with a mag dump on the .22.” “I believe that women should have as many tools as they can to protect themselves.” Not Me SD https://sandiegocountygunowners.com/notmesd/ Not Me CA https://www.notmeca.org/   Not Me CA Facebook https://www.facebook.com/NotMeCA/   Gun Owners Radio Instagram https://www.instagram.com/sdgunowners Second Amendment Foundation https://secure.anedot.com/saf/donate?sc=RidingShotgun    Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms https://www.ccrkba.org/     Please support the Riding Shotgun With Charlie sponsors and supporters.    Dennis McCurdy Author, Speaker, Firewalker http://www.find-away.com/   Self Defense Radio Network http://sdrn.us/   Buy a Powertac Flashlight, use RSWC as the discount code and save 15% www.powertac.com/RSWC   SABRE Red Pepper Spray  https://lddy.no/1iq1n   Or listen on: iTunes/Apple podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/riding-shotgun-with-charlie/id1275691565

EPISODE #1042 THE CORONADO MASS ALIEN ABDUCTION Richard speaks with a certified hypnotherapist about the abduction of about 12 individuals who were simultaneously abducted from a hotel on Coronado Island, California during a UFO conference in 1994. GUEST: Yvonne Smith became concerned with victims of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in the late 1980s, and in 1990 received her certification from the California Hypnosis Motivation Institute. In 1990 she immediately began to work with PTSD victims, assisting them and encouraging them to work through and cope with their PTSD. Observing that many of her subjects were describing a pattern of alien abduction and other close encounter experiences, in 1991 Yvonne founded Close Encounter Resource Organization (CERO) which provides personal attention and maintains active monthly support group meetings where PTSD victims share their thoughts and feelings about their unusual experiences. Yvonne will be appearing at Contact in The Desert as part of the "Women of Ufology" Panel. Fore More details visit https://contactinthedesert.com WEBSITE: https://hypnotherapistyvonnesmith.com https://contactinthedesert.com BOOKS: Chosen: From The Alien Hybrid Program To The Fate Of The Planet Coronado: The President, The Secret Service and Alien Abductions SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!

www.atravelpath.com   Hello Pathfinders, in today's show we welcomed back Kyle and Renee from Happily Ever Hanks! They shared their insight after spending ONE MONTH at a campground in San Diego, California and exploring everything it had to offer. In this episode learn about:   Time We covered everything from the best time of year to how long you should spend in San Diego. Although they spent a month, Kyle and Renee shared that you could spend 1-2 weeks and feel fulfilled. As far as the time of year, Kyle and Renee were there for the month of February. They shared that the weather was nice, but not “swimmable” and traffic was manageable. It was definitely the off-season during this time.   Price It's no surprise that San Diego is expensive. They shared how much they spent at their campground for the month and offered some tips so that you can prepare yourself for the prices.   To Do We discussed the San Diego Zoo, beaches, some historical activities, places to eat, and several other activities you can do in the area. They also offered some insight on things they would have done, such as roller blading or bringing bikes if they had thought about it beforehand.   Transportation Ride-sharing is expensive, but they shared that there is a transit system that is very affordable that they used a few times. We also discussed traffic, parking, and the complications of driving a larger vehicle through downtown.   3, 2, 1 Countdown 3 Things to Pack ·        Sunscreen (even if you visit in February) ·        Jacket ·        Bike 2 Complaints ·        Cost ·        Traffic/Parking 1 Thing ·        USS Midway Museum   Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:00 How long should someone plan on spending in San Diego? 02:45 Where did you stay? 04:00 How was driving a large rig through San Diego? 07:15 How close was your campground to San Diego attractions? 08:30 How expensive was San Diego? 10:45 What was nightlife like in San Diego? 12:15 Daytime activities in San Diego? 16:30 What did you use for internet? 18:00 What are three things you should bring to San Diego? 20:15 What are two complaints someone might have about San Diego? 24:15 What is one thing you can't leave San Diego without doing?   Happily Ever Hanks on Social ·        Website: https://www.happilyeverhanks.com/ ·        YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HappilyEverHanks ·        Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/happilyeverhanks/ ·        Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/happilyeverhanks ·        TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@happilyeverhanks   Happily Ever Hanks YouTube Videos Referenced ·        San Diego Cost Summary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhWvcWyW87A   Camping Sun Outdoor Chula Vista: https://www.sunoutdoors.com/california/sun-outdoors-san-diego-bay   Driving Apps RV Life: https://www.rvlife.com/app/ Truck Map: https://truckmap.com/ All Stays: https://www.allstays.com/apps/ Google Maps   To Do USS Midway Museum: https://www.midway.org/ San Diego Zoo: https://sandiegozoowildlifealliance.org/ Coronado: https://coronadovisitorcenter.com/ 19 Mile Biking/Walking Path: https://missionbaygateway.org/biking-walking-paths   Kids/Pets Sesame Place: https://sesameplace.com/san-diego/ Dog Beach: https://oceanbeachsandiego.com/attractions/beaches/dog-beach   Beaches Ocean Beach: https://oceanbeachsandiego.com/ La Jolla: https://www.sandiego.org/explore/things-to-do/beaches-bays/la-jolla.aspx Mission Beach: https://www.sandiego.org/explore/things-to-do/beaches-bays/mission-beach.asp Imperial Beach: https://www.sandiego.org/explore/things-to-do/beaches-bays/imperial-beach.aspx   Restaurants La Puerta: https://lapuertasd.com/ Queens Town Public House: https://queenstownpublichouse.com/   *All content from atravelpath.com, including but not limited to The Travel Path Podcast and social media platforms, is designed to share general information.

They're happily ever hangs. We talked about everything from RV tips, budgeting, their travel nurse career. And today in part two, we're talking about travel tips and one particular destination. So guys, what are we talking about today?   Guest: Well, we just visited this destination. So it's fresh in our brain.   Host: First time?   Guest: First time. San Diego, California.     Host: Just to clarify, you're in California. So how much time did you guys actually spend there? Cause you said this was your first time visiting, right?     Guest: Yeah, we've always wanted to visit. So we gave ourselves like an entire month there, which we were nervous about because it's expensive. You know, a lot of people say you got to really make sure you have some money in the bank if you're going there, but we were ready after spending a whole summer in Alaska where there was maybe a few days of sunshine. I just said to him, like, Hey, we're doing San Diego this winter and we're going to book like a really nice resort down there and do the whole shebang.     Host: That's awesome. Good for you guys. So to get that full San Diego experience, obviously you guys spent a month there, but how long do you think someone should actually plan if they want to just go and enjoy the area?     Guest: I'd say anywhere from about one to two weeks, I would imagine would be a great amount of time to kind of get some city life in, see the surrounding areas. You know, we were ready to go about after a month. I don't know if that speaks to the RV life itself and that's always like in the pickup and go see something new or that was just applicable to the area. I'd say one to two weeks.     Host: Now you guys obviously went in February.     Guest: Uh, yeah, it was like a month of February. Whole month of February.     Host: And is that good weather for you or did you talk to anyone and find out, you know, there's other times of the year that maybe are better to go?     Guest: It's pretty funny because we thought it was like the busy time of year. We're used to when you go to Florida for say in, you know, February's boom and so many people, so we assumed it was like that in San Diego, we were in Northern California and Reading and it was cold and raining a lot. So we were really excited, but then we get there and it's not busy at all. And then we talked to some locals and they're like, Oh yeah, this is not considered the busy season the summer is. So we kind of felt like we scored because we're like, it's for us. It's nice weather. I mean, it wasn't swimmable beach weather, but if you're looking to go somewhere South where it's still decent weather, if you're used to snow, it's pretty much nice all year there is what I'm trying to say. You can go anytime of year and it's nice. And your pipes don't freeze in the RV. So that's always a plus.     Host: Yeah, there you go. That's definitely a plus for you guys. Now you said that you stayed in a resort. Is that an RV resort?     Guest: Yeah, we stayed at the Sun Outdoors in technically is in Chula Vista, just a little bit South of San Diego, but just a really quick drive to downtown.     Host: Awesome. Now, did you stay there for the entire time or did you move any spots?     Guest: No, we stayed there. Yeah, we ended up staying there, which was nice. And, um, it was a little bit more pricey, like Renee had said, but it was well worth it. So they had like a nice pool there. Like they go all out. It's Sun Outdoors. So it's a huge company that buys a bunch of, well, they pretty much build their own RV resorts across the nation, but they kind of have like that margarita feel to them, you know, they always have music playing events going on. So even though it was a slower time of the year, it's still made for a great time to get out and meet people out in the park. Still plenty. It was pretty about halfway full, I would say. So yeah.     Host: Yeah. Awesome. Yeah. We can attest to Sun Outdoors being a good RV park. We have spent the last three summers or seasons, I guess, living in an RV in a Sun Outdoors. So nice.   Guest: Yeah. You know, you're getting a pretty nice place when you book with them.     Host: Yeah, exactly. You know what to expect, which is nice, especially if you're going to be there for so long. So as far as you guys have a larger rig, so as far as transportation and getting your rig through San Diego to the campground, how is that process for you?     Guest: Not bad at all. We'd like to rely on a lot of apps on our phone. Basically, they are go-to for checking high clearances and making sure that the route we're taking is going to accommodate our fifth wheel because it does the height of our fifth wheel is about 6 feet, 6 inches. So we do run about the same height as most tractor trailers that you see out on the road. So you've got to be really careful to not just take any road and hope that it can accommodate your RV. We've gotten in some scary situations where you had a back out. I don't know if you guys ever seen the random YouTube videos where people are knocking their ACs off their RV roof. I mean, it happens a lot.     Host: But not to you guys.     Guest: Not to us. Knock on wood.     Host: So, you said you used some apps to check clearances. What apps are you using?     Guest: Our main GPS is Google Maps just to kind of see, you know, Google Maps is great. It shows like everything. But then like he was saying, we kind of have to dig into some other apps. So one of those is RV Life. It's like trip planning for RVs. And I'm sure maybe you guys use it with family too. You could do like it gives you like a radius of your travel day, like tells you kind of how far you want to go, where you pull over. It has all the resources. But then on top of that, it has a GPS and you can use that as your main GPS. It'll make sure based on your height, your width, all that stuff that you're not going near any low clearances.     Host: Oh, perfect. Yeah, that's pretty cool. And then what was that other one?     Guest: Truck Map. Yeah, there's a free one called Truck Map. Yeah. And like truckers use it. So you could if you're looking for something for free. And if Google Maps is we still like to use that and stuff. Most of the time we'll just verify with these other apps. Okay, the route we're taking on Google is the same that it's given us on these other apps. So then we could just stick to Google Maps.   Guest: Yeah, but since you know, you just got to be careful all stays pro is another one or I think it's sometimes called all stays. It'll have an icon to show you where all the low clearances depending on how you filter it. So I'm just in the passenger seat there like constantly being like, let me look for low bridges.     Host: Good. So once you see that low clearance sign, that's too late.     Guest: Yeah, no doubt. It's something you notice too when I'll just be driving with I'll be back home just driving around with a friend. And I'll be like, Oh, we want to fit there. Like you just subconsciously see it and you're like, I want to fit in an average. But before RVing, we would have never really noticed that we wouldn't pay attention to those signs.     Host: True. Yeah. Well, those are really good tips and definitely something you need to pay attention to when you are that tall. So as far as the campground you stayed at, the sun RV, how close is that in proximity to, you know, all the attractions you wanted to go to or, you know, if you want to go take a walk somewhere, what was that like?     Guest: Yeah, it was pretty nice. They did have some walking paths. I'd say it was about a mile walk out to the beach or to the bay, I should say. To the bay. Yeah, to the bay from that resort. Now, if you wanted to get into the city, probably about an 8 to 10-minute drive.   Guest: Yeah, maybe 15. Most if it's traffic. Right. And there was a like their transportation system like their, what's that called? Their railway.   Guest: Trolley.   Guest: Yeah. Trolley. There was the station right in walking distance from the campground and we did use that to go downtown the last night and it worked great. I mean, we just had 10 minutes. We were downtown and because we were going to do an Uber from the campground and during the really busy times, they were wanting $50 one way just into the city. And then we did the train like Renee was saying, and that was $2.50 one way. And just give you, yeah, terms of mileage. I think it was only like five miles away. Yeah. So not very long, but wow, they really took back those prices.     Host: Well, that's perfect. That's a good money-saving tip right there. Now, speaking of the finances, San Diego, California in general, typically a little bit more expensive. So what was it like for you guys staying there for a month and what should someone prepare, you know, their budget for when doing something like this?     Guest: Sure. Be completely transparent. I would say we spent what for one month stay at the RV resort. What would we spend? It was like close to three grand. Close to three thousand dollars. So that I don't know, comparing to other resorts around the area, it could be cheaper. I'm not exactly sure, but we had anticipated this was kind of like a vacation. So that's how we treated it. We kind of treated ourselves to that. But yeah, overall, you're going to see some hikes in grocery prices and then the fuel itself is going to be more expensive as well. I think we were paying like $5 a gallon or something for diesel when we're used to paying anywhere from like $4, maybe $4 or $5 somewhere.   Guest: Yeah. And we're actually our next video, not sorry, our maybe two videos from now, we're going to be closing out our series talking about RV expenses in California and we're going to be talking about what we spent in San Diego. We'll have we're still working on all the totals. So we'll have all of that in a future video or maybe it'll come out the same time this comes out. So be perfect.     Host: So go check that out for a real clean breakout on all your costs. So as far as but speaking back to the gas, I guess because you guys were staying in one spot for a month, you were leaving your rig there. Do you feel like you maybe were just driving less because you were so close to being able to use public transportation and just not having to move your camper back and forth to different spots?     Guest: Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. We weren't driving nearly as much as we normally would like the current location we're at. We have about I would say like  minute drive to the nearest town to the grocery store. But now that's the same distance, you know, time distance in San Diego as you know, to get from the RV park to San Diego. But it was a lot less mileage. So we didn't take the truck into the city all that much. We relied on that public transportation a lot. But just driving around San Diego to La Vista area, it's so condensed. Everything is just like right in your backyard at all times.   Host: So what'd you guys like to do at night? In general or in San Diego?     Guest: In San Diego. We would like to find a nice restaurant. And honestly, we did a lot of stuff during the day. Like we would go we went this one day to Miss Ocean Beach. Yeah, I think it's called Ocean Beach. And they had a dog park, which was fun to see all the dogs run around the beach. And then we watched the sunset from there. And then pretty much when the sun goes down, it's kind of like grab dinner and, you know, head on back. Yeah, we're kind of like early to bed people. But there's a lot of really cool bars, a lot of cool nightlife in San Diego. So if you're into that and breweries. So if you're looking, I mean, that would just be so much fun to be able to like, you know, if you're looking to Bar Hop, go downtown and do all that stuff.     Host: Absolutely. Yeah, of course. And I think that's nice that you mentioned you had a good sunset at that beach. But any other sunsets or sunrises that you maybe want to catch?     Guest: Hmm. We kind of had a nice sunset view from our RV because it would, you know, just set below the bay. Yeah. But any beach you go to because it's west facing is a good sunset. You're kind of right there. Yeah, you can't you can't have a bad one in that area. Yeah, of course.     Host: Now, any other activities you guys did during the day that were fun?     Guest: We're telling what we did. But we do. We were just. Let's see. We did the USS Midway tour, which was really cool. So that's an old. The naval ship. Yeah. I'm trying to say ship. Yeah, the Battle of Midway, the story behind the Battle of Midway, like the naval. That's really cool. So it's like decommissioned and it just sits there in the bay. You just pay an entrance fee and then you can walk it at your own pace with a guided tour, like an audio tour. And wow, that took us like four or five hours to get through that entire thing because they have an upper deck with all the old airplanes up there. You have a metal deck and then they have a lower deck for like kitchen and the infirmary were so it was pretty cool. But we're also the people that have to like listen and read everything. So we took the all day. We took it on. Also the zoo. I mean, the San Diego Zoo, you have to check that out. It's like one of the best zoos in the country. So we went there and that was that was a great day. Beautiful weather and just it's I don't know. We're not big zoo people, but it was just fun being out and seeing, you know, how they take care of the little bit of behind the scenes and how they take care of the animals, things like that.     Host: So the zoo and the ship, those are your two recommendations.     Guest: Yeah, do the zoo and the ship. Those are our two biggies and then check out some good restaurants. There was what was the name of that one restaurant? La Puerta downtown, which was really good.     Host: Yeah. What kind of food did they have?     Guest: They had Mexican, but it was kind of like in a rustic like the bar had a cool rustic vibe to it. We also went to a place called Queenstown Public House downtown and it had it was New Zealand inspired. That's what caught my eye. I was like, oh, this is interesting. Really cool vibe. And the food was delicious. Wellington Meatloaf. You will not be disappointed. That was really good.     Host: Awesome. We love to try new restaurants when we go out and like you we've talked about in episode one that can, of course, rack up a pretty big bill if you don't pay attention to it. But being able to try something either a local cuisine or, you know, just something like that New Zealand restaurant. Right. When do you ever see that anywhere? And enjoy something in each spot, I think is always so good.     Guest: Absolutely. Yeah.     Host: Perfect. Any other good food spots or coffee shops?     Guest: Oh, we did do that one coffee shop, but it was a really random one over in what was the name of the island. That's what we got to talk about. Coronado. Coronado Island. So that was across the bay a little bit from the RV park itself and the Naval Station is over there. And just like a really cool place to drive over. You could take a bridge. It's no toll. You don't have to pay any fees to get over there. You could park. There was a lot of parking and then you could walk along the beach and so many coffee shops and restaurants over there. Yeah, their beaches are so clean. Like we went to several of them and so clean. And the other thing I want to say, if you have kids, there's I think there was like a sesame place, sesame street world or something. Yeah. And, you know, their sea world, if people are into that, there's just like there's a lot to do for every of every age. And there was something we noticed we thought about doing, but we didn't. It was like a sunset cruise you could do on the bay. So going back to the nighttime activity is like taking a little boat ride and watch the sunset that way. Can't beat that. Yeah, that would be cool, too.     Host: So if you haven't mentioned it, are there any other nearby attractions that we need to know? It sounds like we covered all of them, though.     Guest: Yeah, those are kind of the ones off the top of our heads that we can think of. Yeah, there was a lot of the stuff we wanted to do was just too cold. Like I wanted to go surfing or paddle boarding or snorkeling. And I think what I read is if it's warm enough to do that. La Jolla or something. I can't remember what that place is called, but there's a beach way far north. Yeah, is this Bell with a J? Yeah, JOLLA. Something like that. I just can't remember how they pronounce it, but that's kind of like the go to if you want to hit up the beach. Go swimming like in a very nice beach. Yeah.     Host: Perfect. So it sounds like the consensus is February is a great time to visit, but it might be a little chilly for water activities.     Guest: Exactly. Oh yeah, for sure. But good for eating, you know, you got to like hibernate, put some good food in your belly during that time.     Host: Perfect. And then how was your internet?   Guest: Oh my gosh, it was. Well, the internet was ripping. Yeah, it was good. Starlink held up really well. Being around other people at Starlink and still did fine. Did really good. We had like a hundred down, didn't we? We can't complain about the internet there. Yeah. Our cell phone service was great the whole time.     Host: Perfect. Those are the things people need to know where to eat and if they can get internet.   Host: I know it was too cold. They do the water activities, snorkeling, swimming, surfing. Could you lay out on the beach? Were the people doing that?     Guest: There were people doing it. I mean, I had my puffy coat on several times when we were on the beach because it was so breezy. Um, but if you were brave enough and if it was like somewhat warmer weather, you could. Now we did lay by the pool at the resort, I think twice, but I had goosebumps. So I was really trying.     Host: Well, San Diego sounds like you go. It's the scenery. First of all, it's everyone talks about San Diego and then the nightlife, the food scene, but in those winter months, still, I mean, it's probably why it wasn't the biggest or the busiest time of the year is because those water activities. It was just too cold.     Guest: Oh yeah. Yeah. It seems like it's everyone. Like if you're obviously Arizona or anywhere away from the coast, seems like that's where we're flocks to in the summer to get there. What, uh, summer activities, winter, sorry, not winter water activities, water.     Host: Yeah. Great. Perfect. We'll transition to the three, two, one countdown. The final three questions of the podcast, starting with three, what are three things you're bringing to San Diego?     Guest: Okay. Well, the first two are not going to make any sense, but we'll explain. It's my sunscreen for sure. I add that like the only reason I say is because even though it's not like super hot, oh my gosh, I'll get eaten alive by the sun. That California sun. We're not all blessed with your skin tone here. My wife, very nice skin tone, but me, unfortunately, I had to rely on sunscreen a lot. So sunscreen, a jacket, if you're coming in February, that breeze sneaks up on you. So make sure you have like a little cover up. The sunscreen during the day and then immediately have your jacket put on because, you know, that sun goes away. It just gets chilly. And then on top of it, I think the last one that is really important is like a bike. If you have a bike, we don't have bikes, but we realize how nice it would have been to have a bike to get around.   Guest: Yeah. There was this, I can't remember how many miles. See how we're so good at presenting this information. Aren't we?   Guest: Yeah. Um, there's some really long bike slash walking path and it ran past our RV park. Like, so we walk that a lot to the bay, but I think it goes like  something miles.   Guest: Um, all the way out to Coronado Island and then you can come back. So bring your bikes if you have them.     Host: Yeah. Does that almost like a boardwalk? Is it hugging the water views along that bike path? Do you know?     Guest: I think when it gets to the Imperial Beach side, cause I looked at a map to see how far it goes. I think it does, but there was another area, um, Where we were walking a lot of mission beach and there was a boardwalk where people were just on. Roller skates. I mean, after being there, I really want to get roller skates for some reason and everyone's roller skating, skateboarding, biking, just very active. Fun community. Everyone's out doing something.     Host: I'm sure you passed rental shops for all, um, roller blades bikes.     Guest: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So then we had to make a decision like, do we really like, or after the price of the groceries and the dining, I had to scratch something off the budget, right?   Guest: The truth. I'm like, we'll just get our steps in. It's fine. It's free.     Host: Yep. There you go.   Host: That's it. What are two complaints or two things people should be prepared for before visiting San Diego?     Guest: Well, the one we talked about already being expensive, just the price, you know, I think most people are prepared if they are visiting San Diego, but to stay in a hotel, to stay at an RV park or wherever you're lodging, it's going to be pricey. We already told you about the  to stay one month at an RV park. And that's crazy. We've never paid that to stay somewhere, but we knew going into this, that their nightly rate was going to be outrageous. And that's a discount. If you actually like took their nightly rate and multiplied it by  days, it would have been like five or $,. So for them to give us three grand a month, that's like a monthly discount, quote unquote. And the other one, August, I guess, you know, just like with any city around traffic. So it's such a silly complaint. It's you can't complain about traffic in a city, but you can't. I mean, we are going to throw it out there. We don't visit a lot of cities like frequently, but we really, really enjoyed this one. But, you know, we're never prepared for the traffic, but it was there. And then I will say I just thought of this one is the truck parking with our big truck.   Guest: Yeah, we have a lifted truck.   Guest: And sometimes it's hard to find parking, especially, you know, when you're towing with a dually truck or anything.   Guest: Yeah, it'd be tight. If you have a dually and you want to go downtown, just take the public transportation because it's going to be such a headache to try and park that thing.     Host: Yeah, that's good to bring up. And it's especially good to bring up, especially it's in the off season and there was still traffic.     Host: So if someone's going there, when it is busier, tour season, they're going to be. Would you would that be a nightmare in your opinion?     Guest: Yes. Yes. I would not. I would not be able to relax and enjoy parking the truck and that that would be stressful.   Guest: Yeah, we love visiting areas that are like chill and it's not the busy season. So yeah, perfect for us to be there in February. So that would be stressful. Most RVers aren't used to traffic.     Host: San Francisco was the first city we went to after we were in the middle of nowhere for like a month and a half. And it was we were not ready for it. But that public, the transit you talked about, is that on its separate like road or does that actually follow? The streets that cars follow too.     Guest: Yeah, it was sometimes next to the main road. It was like a railway.     Host: Okay. So that so you'd avoid the traffic by taking that then that's its own cool.     Guest: Yeah. And I mean, it has to stop at every stop, but it's still it was really two dollars, two fifty one way. Yeah. Per person.   Guest: So really affordable and clean and just it was really, really nice.     Host: Yeah. Yeah. By the time it takes you to find parking and worth it.   Host: Was the area itself once you got to downtown, was everything pretty much walkable or would you recommend somebody do have a car or some form of transportation when they're down there?     Guest: I think the major areas that you wanted to hit were walkable. So once you found the parking spot or you're in that location, it was easy to just Google search what was in that immediate surrounding area and have some places to visit. So yeah, like I don't feel like you would have to have a rental car if you were flying in and going to a hotel, especially if you're already downtown. Because like you can get to the zoo and not just that railway system. They there that was a whole transportation system that had rapid bus transport. And they were just really good about the transportation. So you can get everywhere you need to go.     Host: Yeah. Yeah. Some of those big destinations you hear about, you think they're going to be huge. But we went to Nashville and I was shocked at how small Nashville was. It was like three blocks worth of bars. And that was the main strip. And so I was curious to see if San Diego was the same way. Once you get to downtown, you can pretty much walk around and walk to everything. So it sounds like it's a little bit bigger, but still doable. Yeah, fine. It was still like you would need to to hop if you want to go to the zoo and do the midway for some crazy reason. One last question.     Host: What is one thing you cannot leave San Diego without doing?     Guest: Oh, I would go back to that midway. I would have to say what I said before is going to do that midway tour was really cool.   Guest: Yeah, especially if you're into history or just enjoying like it's not every day you get to go walk on a ship like that and kind of be immersed into that lifestyle. So you learn a lot. You see a lot and it's worth the admission price.   Guest: Yeah, I would say the same thing that that U.S. I mean, I would have did it again. I thought it was so cool.     Host: And then when you're there, get the get the guide.     Guest: Oh, yeah, they'll have them right as you walk in the door. They'll just be like, do you want an audio guide? It's free. So yeah, pick it up. And the learning is your fingertips.     Host: Yeah, even better. Can't be free.   Host: Well, thanks again for coming on the show. This was a great episode, not only talking about things to do in San Diego in the February time of year. I think it helped people prepare for what that might look like, but also we named a few things you can do during that busy season and what to be prepared for when it does get busy.   Host: But Kyle and Renee, one more time, where can our audience find out more about you guys?   Guest: So our main platform is on YouTube, and you can find us by searching "Happily Ever Hanks." If you want to find our website, you can go to Google and just type in "Happily Ever Hanks .com," and we should pop up right there. So those are two main places to find us. Also, Instagram and Facebook, same thing, "Happily Ever Hanks."   Guest: That's true. Yeah, we have all the goodies. Just type in "Happily Ever Hanks," and it'll pop up somewhere.     Host: All right, sweet. Everyone check them out. Kyle and Renee, thanks again.     Guest: Thank you guys. We appreciate it.

Summary: Rattlesnakes are excellent hunters, but how do they do it? Join Kiersten as she explains how rattlesnakes hunt and catch their prey.   For my hearing impaired listeners, a complete transcript of this podcast follows the show notes on Podbean   Show Notes: Rattlesnake: Portrait of a Predator by Manny Russo “Pit Viper Can Detect Prey Via Heat” by American Museum of Natural History, https://www.amnh.org/explore/news-blogs/news-posts/pit-vipers-can-detect-prey-via-heat “Snakes' Flexible, Heat-Sensing Organs Explained” by Harini Barath, Scientific American, February 1, 2010, https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/snakes-flexible-heat-sensing-organs-explained Music written and performed by Katherine Camp Transcript  (Piano music plays) Kiersten - This is Ten Things I Like About…a ten minute, ten episode podcast about unknown or misunderstood wildlife. (Piano music stops) Welcome to Ten Things I Like About… I'm Kiersten, your host, and this is a podcast about misunderstood or unknown creatures in nature. Some we'll find right out side our doors and some are continents away but all are fascinating.  This podcast will focus ten, ten minute episodes on different animals and their amazing characteristics. Please join me on this extraordinary journey, you won't regret it. This episode continues rattlesnakes and the seventh thing I like about this misunderstood animal is how they hunt and eat their food. We have covered some of this in the fangs and venom episode. In this episode we'll take a look at how they find their food and catch their food. Let's start off with how rattlesnakes hunt. They are classified as ambush hunters, which means they lay in wait until the right prey item comes to them. I love this strategy. Maximum reward with minimum effort!  When you are an ambush predator you need to hide well so you can catch your prey by surprise. Rattlesnakes do this by sitting very still under low foliage, fallen logs, and dark crevices. The patterns on their skin, besides making them look so pretty, is camouflage to help them blend into the background. The light and dark patterning helps break up their shape so that prey items are unaware of what is waiting in the shadows. The second adaptation that rattlesnakes use to catch their prey is their tongue. We've already talked about this in the anatomy episode, but we'll recap quickly. Snakes have forked tongues that collect scent particles when flicked into the air. Those scent particles cling to the tongue and are deposited in the Jacobson's organ when the snakes bring the tongue back into their mouth. This organ decodes the particles and tells the snake what is in their environment. It helps them decide which direction to go when moving around their territory. Rattlesnakes have another very cool adaptation that allows them to essentially see thermally. Yes rattlesnakes can see heat signatures. That's amazing! Rattlesnakes are in a group of snakes called pit vipers. This name comes from the fact that they have pits in their faces. Now, they didn't have bad acne. These pits are by design. The heat sensing organs called ‘pits' are located  between their eyes and nostrils. How do they work? Is it like looking through a thermal camera? According to the American Museum of Natural  History, there is a thin membrane that connects the thermal receptor to the brain at the optic nerve. This allows rattlesnakes to see the infrared signature created by heat. They have two of these front-facing organs and this helps them triangulate the direction and distance of warm-blooded prey, even in total darkness! No night vision googles needed! Rattlesnakes can use these heat sensitive receptors to detect infrared for up to three feet. That's not a terribly far distance, so they use their thermal pits to help pin point where the prey is after they've used their sense of smell to find them.  In 2010, a scientific study discovered the molecular process behind snakes' night vision. They examined the nerve receptors in the pit organs of a rattlesnake. What they found was truly fascinating! Rattlesnake thermal pits produce a protein that, in other species of animals, including humans, detects chemical irritants. In rattlesnakes these “wasabi receptors”, as they are called, evolved to detect heat instead of irritants.  Now we still don't know exactly how snakes turn the information they receive from their thermal pts into infrared images. The membrane transfers the information to the brain, but how is it translated into a thermal image? A theoretical model proposed by University of Houston and Rutgers University researchers suggests an answer. They based some of their model on natural occurring pyroelectric materials. In nature these materials are rare but can be found in hard crystals. These types of crystals are not found in snakes. But what the paper proposes is that some soft cells can act as weak pyroelectric under certain circumstances.  Quoting from Scientific American, “Sharma and his team developed a mathematical model to show how static charges would move in a material that is deformable and responsive to heat.” End quote. A soft material such as the membrane in the Rattlesnake's brain. The theoretical tests that they ran showed that when a membrane thickens in reaction to increased heat, the charge on its cells should shift slightly which can result in a voltage charge that can be detected by the nerve cells. This may be how rattlesnakes use their thermal pits to see prey in the dark. Real world research needs to be performed to prove that this is how it works, but it certainly is an intriguing idea . Now that we know how rattlesnakes find their prey let's look at how they catch their prey. As I said before, most of the time rattlesnakes are ambush predators. They employ a sit and wait approach to finding food. Once an appropriate item comes along and has been pinpointed, they will prepare themselves to strike.  When waiting for prey to appear, rattlesnakes will rest with their head laterally coiled on another curve of their body. The neck will look like an S-shape and is often resting on the rest of its body that is coiled in a circular shape. This gives them the perfect amount of leverage to strike at prey. When striking prey, the snake thrusts downward with a kinking and twist in the neck. This applies greater pressure to embed the fangs deep enough so that the injected venom will do its job. Once this is done, the rattlesnake let's go. This is all accomplished in a mater of seconds.  The venom will act on the prey item right away and the animal typically doesn't make it too far from the rattlesnake. If it is able to wander far enough away that the snake can no longer easily see it, they can follow the distinctive scent of their own venom to find it again.  As discussed in the Fangs and Venom episode, the venom doesn't only dispatch the prey item, it also begins the digestion process.   So what do rattlesnakes eat? Excellent question listeners! I love it when you think ahead. All snakes are carnivores, which mean the eat meat. There are no snakes out their chowing down on grass or shrubby plants. They can get some veggies if they other animal they eat is a herbivore, but that's it.  When thinking about what snakes eat the first animal that comes to mind is mice. This is often a staple of any snakes diet but rattlesnakes do eat other types of animals. Small mammals, birds and the young of large mammals are the most frequent prey items but insects, arthropods, lizards, other snakes, frogs, toads, salamanders, and bird eggs can also be consumed. Occasionally they might be cannibalistic, eating neonate rattlesnakes.  Young pygmy rattlesnakes eat mostly small small frogs and lizards, but adult pygmy rattlesnakes prefer voles, shrews, and deer mice. This is a trend that can be seen in many species of rattlesnakes. The young will eat smaller amphibians and reptiles but when they are adults they switch to small mammals.  Massasaugas frequently eat small mammals and birds but will consume frogs, crayfish, fish, and lizards. I'd like to see these snakes catch a fish! The indigenous rattlesnake of Coronado Island is forced to be diurnal due to cool weather conditions eats mostly lizards because the rodents that live their are nocturnal. One of the most interesting prey items is eaten by the banded rock rattlesnake and ridgenose rattlesnakes. They eat large centipedes in genus Scolopendra. This is risky business because these centipedes are large, have a rigid exoskeleton, and have huge pincer-like fangs with which to inject their own venom. It seems that the rattlesnake strikes near the centipede's head, embeds their fangs between the segments, and holds on until the centipede stops moving. All I have to say to that is, Wow! That's it for this amazing episode. Hunting and catching prey is my seventh favorite thing about rattlesnakes.   If you're enjoying this podcast please recommend me to friends and family and take a moment to give me a rating on whatever platform your listening. It will help me reach more listeners and give the animals I talk about an even better chance at change.    Join me next week for another episode about rattlesnakes.     (Piano Music plays)  This has been an episode of Ten Things I like About with Kiersten and Company.

On this week's podcast, Daniel Craig joins us from San Diego, where he is owner of Absolute AV Design. Jeremy met Daniel (the integrator, not the actor), very recently while in Southern California touring the headquarters of Nice North America. During that manufacturer visit, those in attendance were also treated to a tour of a beautiful private home on San Diego's Coronado Island and a luxury high-rise condominium building called Pacific Gate. Both the private home and nearly all of the 215 condominium residence units feature technology that was installed and maintained by Absolute AV Design, a company that has only been in business for five years. During the tours, led by Daniel and members of the Nice team, Jeremy was impressed with Daniel's professionalism and quality of work, and clearly his clients were as well. We thought what better way to learn more about Daniel's story than to have him on the podcast to discuss his career, his company, and some of insights about residential and resimercial technology.

Rebecca Zahau was found hanging outside the Speckles Mansion on Coronado Island, California. She was naked, bound, and gagged, and there was a disturbing message written on the wall, which to most lay people immediately looked suspicious. But police were quick to categorize this death as a suicide. This was especially odd, since just 2 days later there had been another death in the mansion - that of 6 year old Max Shacknai, which had happened under Rebecca's supervision. Was this a case of grief leading to a suicide? Or was Rebecca actually murdered, and if so, by whom?

La Tanya L. Jackson is 55 years old and the true organic, undisputed definition of a woman over 50, Black and Fabulous! A single mother of two college educated adult children and three grandchildren, LaTanya has defied all limitations of “it’s too late,” or “I’m too old” to achieve strongly desired goals. She returned to school to get a college degree at age 42 after being out of the academic arena for 25 years. She started by obtaining her Associates Degree in Liberal Arts one month prior to her daughter getting her degree. Rather than get bogged down with problems, she does the opposite – La Tanya immediately turns to her Bucket List, which allows her to direct her energies in a different direction other than the problem. La Tanya has a big habit of keeping a smile on her face. La Tanya says, “whenever I attend a neighborhood or family event, the first thing people say is where are you traveling to next, or I saw you on Facebook – how are you doing so many amazing things?” She responds by saying “don’t see me, see God” then I share my travel tips. La Tanya has created a guide entitled “Living Your Best Life on a Budget.” As her 50th birthday approached in 2015, La Tanya decided to go full steam ahead by organizing a Family Vacation to Paris, France. Going to Disneyland-Paris was truly a dream come true. The following are just some of the exciting things that have been on her Bucket List – Hiked The Brooklyn Bridge (2016); Hiked Behind the Falls in Niagara Falls (2016); Hiked the Hollywood Sign in Hollywood Hills, California (2017); Hiked the North Pacific Rim at Grand Canyon (2017); Hiked the Red Rocks in Sedona (2017); ziplined in Costa Rica (2018); Hiked All Mountains Over Colorado (2018); Ran in the Rock & Roll Marathon Night 10k; Ran in St. Jude Hero’s 5K in Las Vegas (2018); visited the Wendy Williams Show and was chosen to ask her a question (2019). Some other first time destinations that La Tanya put on her list and achieved include – Puna Cana, Dominican Republic in 2014; New York City in 2015, 2016, 2018 and 2019 (she is obsessed with New York); Los Angeles, San Diego, Coronado Island and Malibu (2015-2017); Guanacaste; Buena Vista and Coco Beach in 2018 Seattle, Washington (was determined to see the Space Needle for her 55th birthday) in 2019; NYE Time Square Ball Drop Countdown in 2020. When a new opportunity and challenge arises, La Tanya tends to ask herself “well, why not?” She also relies heavily on her faith and “goes boldly to God’s Throne. There have been times when she did not even know where the money was coming from for a desired adventure, but due to her positive attitude, amazing things have always manifested. In this episode, La Tanya shares how certain life events played a role in her maintaining an optimistic attitude. Additionally, she talks about some of the most exhilarating activities she has been involved in, along with what actually goes through her mind as she is tackling a goal on her bucket list.
