@Thomas_Carrieri Great perspective. Would have guessed a higher number of players.

@SalGiametta @aiasandiego Thanks Sal. I was honored with this recognition and I appreciate that you attended. I was surprised but grateful for this Lifetime Achievement Award.

@TJMacSD Wow! This runs counter to all the conventional wisdom. I wonder if this holds across all sizes of cars, especially the smaller cars that are not as high profit for the manufacturers, as the SUVs and muscle cars.

@SalGiametta @emalvarenga10 @sdut @FernStCircus @JohnHighkin Nice article in the UT about this amazing program that has taught hundreds, if not thousands, of young people that they can master incredible circus challenges.

@EdLendermanKUSI That addiction should help speed your recovery. Best wishes, Ron

[Ron Roberts @RonRobertsSD]

@stephenpuetz I agree. It was a bad joke.

[Ron Roberts @RonRobertsSD]

@GrandaAdrian There seems to be far more excessive speeders now especially passing on the right and frequently in the far right lane. It probably helps the auto body repair shops but the hospitals don’t need any more business now. Drive responsibly.

Thank you @dianebellSD for today's column: Who was missing at the new trolley celebration? https://t.co/G23U74EEQF

[Ron Roberts @RonRobertsSD]

@ToddGloria @MidCoastTrolley Thanks Todd. After so many years it is great to see this finally completed. There was a woman who worked at a UCSD clinic who told me several years ago that the divorce rate would go down when this was open because she would be able to get home & have dinner with her family. 😉

Good things do come to those who wait. I couldn't be more excited about today's official opening of the Mid-Coast Trolley Line, officially known as the UC San Diego Blue Line. With single-seat service from University City to the Border, it's going to be a transit game changer.

@ColinParent Thanks Colin. It was a long time in the making and I wish Paul Jablonski were here to see it.

Finally, here's the day we signed the $1 billion deal with the FTA. Today, everyone can and should celebrate -- and the rides today are free!

[Ron Roberts @RonRobertsSD]

I have had the opportunity to ride the entire line and travel atop four miles of bridges and see the nine new stations that themselves will be hubs of housing, commercial and retail activity. It's all even better than I imagined. Let’s all use it and everyone enjoy the ride.
