You may remember my letter last year about the slow-moving construction process of Escondido's three new fire stations that the voters passed in a ballot some years ago, better known as Proposition P.Well, I am writing to inform you, the reader, about the progress that is taking place.

Sexual orientation really is in the genes. Sorry.) When the film's national box office fails to live up to its hype and to the record attendance at a few early screenings, prepare to be subjected to a tedious round of guilt-tripping and chin-scratching by Frank Rich and every metropolitan daily entertainment writer who yearns to write about What the Movies Say About America Today.
