Visited the flower fields in Carlsbad, about 30 miles north of San Diego. This place is basically a flower farm, where they grow flowering plants in order to harvest the bulbs (roots) that are then sold to gardeners. While the flowers are growing, it is good sight for spectators to see a hillside colored with radiant colors with the oceon glittering away in the background. And the San Diego sun makes the sight all the more brilliant. They have just one type of flower, rununculus, that they grow here. Also, there is a small rose section, where winning roses from the past 50+ years are planted. Today, only about a third of those actually had roses on them, and I have seen better roses. A place worth visiting if it is the season, and if you live in San Diego.
Also drove by the TaylorMade golf factory on College Av, a few miles from the flower fields. It turns out all they do at this factory is to assemble together heads, shafts and grips that are imported from China and other places. Lou Dobbs has not added TaylorMade to his list. If you want distance, you got to take out some divets. But divets are people too.
