We’ve had wonderful nights at the Carlsbad Inn (thanks to termites) and we love rolling over and looking out the window at the parking lot below. But we rolled over in bed, not in a car like “two elderly sisters” did on Monday night, January 4, 2010, according to a story in the North County Times.
The 79-year-old driver apparently had her foot on the gas pedal when she released the emergency brake, causing the car to lurch forward, hit a tree and flip onto its side, said Carlsbad police Lt. Bruce May. . . The crash happened at about 8:35 p.m. on the 3000 block of Carlsbad Boulevard, May said.. . .The driver was taken to a hospital after suffering minor injuries; her 82-year-old sister was not hurt, May said.
The two sisters where apparently on their way to the hospital after a third sister began choking during dinner and was transported by ambulance.

When ABC’s disturbingly sexist reality show The Bachelor kicks off a new season Monday night January 4, 2010, one of the 25 women “competing for the affections” of commercial airline pilot Jake Pavelka is reportedly a “32-year-old homemaker from Carlsbad” named Valishia. Anyone know her?
“All 25 women were absolutely amazing, very high caliber from all walks of life,” Pavelka said in a recent conference call with reporters. . . Pavelka said he was looking for someone adventurous, intelligent, athletic, compassionate and romantic.
Guess those are the word Pavelka uses when he means hot, horny, and slutty. Will be interesting see how far our Carlsbadistan competitor can go.

What does the number one gift giver do after a 24 hour world tour in a sleigh pulled by nine tiny reindeer? If these photos are to be believed Santa Claus heads down to Robert C. Frazee Beach, kicks his boots off and cools those barking dogs in the frigid surf.
Yes, in Carlsbadistan we have the happiest holidays.

On December 26, 2009 the luxury car crew is meeting at The Carlsbad Premium Outlets from 7 AM to 9 AM to show off their toys. If you’re into Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Cobras, Vipers, Lotus and the rest then it may be worth a roll by. . . even if you’re just getting a cup of coffee at Starbucks. It’s fun to see that much cash stacked up in a parking lot.
