Enjoyed "Slouching Towards Utopia: An Economic History of the Twentieth Century." Our modern economies can create more than we need. It's a challenge, but a good problem to have. https://t.co/OmfU8Eb6a4

The animated comedy Star Trek series "Lower Decks" has a series of ships named after cities in California. The latest episode featured the USS Carlsbad, which I obviously enjoyed. Looking forward to an episode of the zany adventures of the USS La Mesa. https://t.co/tz3ZL1vFAf

Last time I was in LA for a @DemCalifornia Convention in 2010, I stopped first at the @kogibbq truck near my hotel. Jeffrey Steingarten was in line in front of me (he wrote "The Man Who Ate Everything"). No joke, he ordered one of everything. I got the kimchi quesadilla. https://t.co/ShcpLFAW46
