Orca Encounter Sea World San Diego
I went to the Orca Encounter show at Sea World in San Diego, California.

For me Sea World is doing nothing …

She said, “Come …

Where Freedom Takes Flight: A Moment on the Waters of Coronado
The boat cut slowly across the calm blue waters of San Diego Bay, its wake tracing pale ripples that glimmered under the late-morning sun.

Political Dumb and Dumber
Kim Jong Un had no military experience whatsoever before Daddy made him a four-star general.
