Re Stanford shopping center parking-& Tesla drivers πŸ‘ŽπŸ˜‘

Check out this review of Stanford Mall Parking on Google Maps
https://goo.gl/maps/DFMUDd3J4GnBDY5cA 


There's nothing wrong with Stanford shopping center parking- it's fine- but the problem is there's a new phenomenon of people especially in Tesla's trying to pass at the strangest places & times even inside the parking structure where it's normally a slow drive for good reasons.

 Some of these Tesla drivers are getting so FREAKIN UPPITY . THey truly think they are superior. The problem is the Tesla is so common around here it doesn't seem very special anymore. And you can think whatever you want, but don't pass me in the parking structure because you think I'm going too slow. 

In another recent case: on the road another Tesla driver passed me & almost rear-ended the car in front of me because the pass was so freakin stupid. it wasn't helping him get anywhere faster. 

It was a 'virtue signal ' pass. Simply to say " I'm better than you" . And then he almost rear-ended the car in front of him πŸ˜πŸ˜†πŸ˜… because there was a red light up ahead , which is why I was slowing down. 

The only thing he signaled to me was that he's an idiot and vain and thinks that the type of vehicle he drives makes him a better person. Let's see him with God at the Pearly Gates. Will God ask him what kind of car he drives ?! Or what neighborhood his house is in? Or his net worth πŸ’°?

If you want to race to the red light go ahead. Just go ahead and be an idiot , a retard, a freakin moron in your common Tesla πŸ‘ŽπŸ˜‘.

 Personally, I will coast when I see a red light & hope that it turns green before I have to use my brakes. And I will always drive slow and cautiously through the parking structure . 

And by the way, I support Elon Musk and what he's doing for our country, and I don't like to see people vandalize Tesla. Never πŸ‘Ž. But some of these Tesla drivers are just showing their IQ by the way they drive and it's NOT VERY HIGH.

re "An Act of Spiritual Communion -" Holy Spirit Parish






https://holyspiritchurch.us/an-act-of-spiritual-communion/ 

For Protestants, 
In plain English: we can talk directly to God with simple earnestness 

"When we cannot attend Mass [or church, for Protestants] we can still make an Act of Spiritual Communion. According to St. Thomas Aquinas, a spiritual communion is "an ardent desire to receive Jesus in the Holy Sacrament and a loving embrace as though we had already received Him." One good time to make a spiritual communion is while we are adoring Our Lord ✝️ in the Most Blessed Sacrament, but we can make them at any time of the day or night, even multiple times a day..."

Anonymous AGAPE LETTER


AGAPE LETTER

It's a shame to have to say this & take the Time to write this at such an age and stage in life. But apparently I do based upon little bits and pieces I continue to hear thru the grapevine etc. I'm also concerned about so-called self-glorifying "pillow talk" by some people with their spouses in which the person creates a super person mythology about themselves, building themselves up at the expense of others -maybe even fabricating negative things altogether about others; and without an opportunity to defend myself against such fabrications . 

So I will begin by saying, Since the age of accountability I have been living a very good positive moral life. And even after the age of accountability, any small things I have done wrong  in the eyes of the law have all been dismissed and expunged ie traffic & parking tickets etc. And I've never committed any felonies. I don't live a lavish lifestyle, and I  live this way intentionally in order so that I can serve the Lord most productively as possible without having to worry about mowing the lawn, painting the house, & all  the other things that come with being a homeowner, which almost becomes a full-time job in and of itself once you have a large household.  

And thanks be to God, I am always able to pay all my bills and taxes, and regularly do so. I even pay off my credit card bill at the end of the month so that I'm not charged a large interest fee (which is better than our own country is able to do even with all the billions even trillions of taxes they receive).  I have always paid for auto insurance, proper vehicle registration etc. It seems silly to have to say these things but there apparently are busy bodies who have questioned this, as if they are police officers themselves.

 Therefore if these others  will not willingly & humbly acquiesce to being in the state- of- grace in which we simply are aware of our own sinfulness and mind our own business in that regard,  rather than always being busy bodies and taking the specks out of other people's eyes, Then For the sake of survival I will  have to invoke  human laws that require us to not slander or libel others;  or be held accountable in the eyes of law ourselves.

  I should be able to simply invoke Christian accountability for all those who call themselves Christians or at least are "churched"  in order to be treated graciously, but if this doesn't work amongst some, once again,  I just repeat that I will have to hold such persons legally accountable

For years upon years I've been sending Christmas cards to so many people hoping that just sending the Christmas spirit once a year will remind us of who we are in Christ. And from so many great people including many of my beloved relatives,  I've been receiving gracious Christmas cards in return.

  Unfortunately, I don't receive any Christmas cards in return  from some of the people historically closest to me.  And the brief periodic interactions I do have with such persons raises questions in my mind about whether I'm speaking to Christians who are  genuinely in a state -of- grace. I'm not questioning whether such persons attend church or not. Some people can attend church perfectly all their lives but yet not necessarily enter into a true state -of grace.

 And when I speak of state- of -grace, I am speaking of the theological principle of self-awareness in Christ that we are all sinners !  but also, thank God, forgiven. And I'm not speaking of Cheap Grace either. If we keep committing such sins, and then say God forgives, it becomes cheap grace and meaningless.

 I'm speaking of repentance & Grace and also not repeatedly committing the same sins ex post facto.   And hopefully if we are continually examining ourselves and repenting and growing in Christ then we are not nitpicking others; nor conversely engaging in  excessive self -examination (ie scrupulosity) in which we self-examine ourselves too much.  

For most people excessive self-examination and excessive repentance is not the problem. For most people it's the opposite- it's a lack of self-examination and lack of repentance. In my regard, while I was going through seminary I went thru an intentional period  of self-examination and repentance and trying to make amends for any sins I committed against others,  Even going back into my childhood history, probably too far back, in terms of before the age of accountability

 And now I'm hearing again from little bits and pieces of the grapevine that some people are using such public confessions of so-called sins (or whatever you want to call them -maybe not even sins -but just natural parts of being a child before the age of accountability)  against me Still at the age of almost 60 years old.

 This is preventing me from moving on in my life in many regards. It makes it difficult for me professionally, spiritually, and relationally. For me to have meaningful relationships, while people are still taking specks out of my eye from childhood experiences, as if I  committed a childhood felony , is not only difficult to accept, but it's morally reprehensible on the part of those who raise up what are now  meaningless and trivial issues so many years later.

And perhaps they do so for self-serving reasons, rather than reasons of authentic concern about my soul, let alone about my adult relationships with others and public citizenship. 

I rebuke those who are trying to prevent good people from doing good things by negatively pigeon- holing them based on childhood "sins" or errors 50 years ago even before the age of accountability. It would be like a mother shaming her child 50 years later for pooping in his diaper when he/she was 2 years old. Stop this evil nonsense πŸš«πŸ‘ŽπŸ˜‘.

 You will be held accountable by God for preventing a good Christian person from doing the work of a Christian evangelist most effectively if you continue doing this. Imprecatory

re sending postcard to Kim Kooiker

some of you may know that I "dated" or whatever you want to call my relationship with Kim back around 1989-91 around the time I was finishing Calvin College and also working at Pine Rest Hospital as a mental health counselor (as was Kim, which is where we met).

 I seriously admired and respected Kim. We had several nice experiences together just getting to know one another. She came to our Lake Michigan cottage once when my parents were in town (near Silver Lake for those of you who know west Michigan). 

And she even accompanied me to my cousin Brian's wedding. And I remember visiting her home in Caledonia  (she attended South Christian & Calvin; I attended Grand Rapids Christian & Calvin) at least once when her whole  lovely family was there. Among other things such as movies, etc 

You could say it was "getting serious" but at the same time I was conflicted about my ultimate purpose in life. I was struggling with following what I thought was my call to be a Christian missionary versus just staying around Michigan, working a job of one sort or another, etc. 

Well, I was also accepted into Law School and eventually started, but did not finish, Wayne State Law School, nor any other law school. My experience at Wayne State led me to believe that I was not following God's call for my life if I pursued a career in law. 

After I left Wayne State law school I informed Kim that I was leaving Michigan too. It was a short conversation. I didn't really know what her feelings were towards me, but she was always amicable. We didn't get involved physically at all. 

It was more than "just friends" but not romantic either. I guess you could say we were just "getting to know each other gradually" . SO i left Michigan not knowing if or when I would be back. 

I ended up in California for a few months (where my parents lived) and then there was an earthquake in Costa Rica which I volunteered to do disaster relief . So I flew to San Jose met with other Christian missionaries and we worked together to help needy areas after the huge quake. 

And then I got an offer to tutor the kids of a rain forest tourist camp in Drake Bay near the famous Corcovado National park where tourists from all over the world travel to explore. So I stayed in Costa Rica for about 9 months total until near the end of August 1991. 

Then I returned to California and then decided to try seminary back in Grand Rapids. But then didn't  work for very long either. I stayed in the seminary for a quarter then I got disillusioned. Around that time I did see Kim a few times- once at a place called TeleDial which was owned by a friend of our family named Andy DeVries.

He offered me a job there- and when I was visiting I saw Kim- she was working there ! But i was till thinking I had to follow my call to be a full-time missionary- and a seminary-educated one for that matter. But I decided to try teaching instead for a while- I stayed at Calvin for 2 years working on an education/English degree but didn't see Kim much after that time at TeleDial. 

So it was really over I guess you could say (there was no "break up" or hard  words or anything because it was never to such a serious or formal level. But I always admired and respected her, and so when I returned to California and took a teaching job I continued to think about and pray for her. 

I also found out she had moved on and married a nice fellow (presumably) and so there was absolutely no romantic or relational thoughts in my mind anymore, nor her's obviously. Yet I knew she was a strong committed Christian so I wanted to continue to encourage her in the faith. 

After 2 years teaching I finally did go back to seminary and finally completed most of it- combining Calvin & Fuller Seminary. WHile at Fuller I remember sending her a postcard a few times- with encouraging Christian words- nothing more, nothing less. Just a friendly hello. 

Apparently, one of these times I sent the postcard to the wrong address- somehow I got her sister's address in my book. I didn't know this would make her sister's blood boil. You're not going to believe this but she actually spoke to the police about me sending a postcard (accidentally to the wrong address).

 Some time later I got a letter from an alleged detective (or somebody who called themself a detective) of the Grand Rapids Police Dept. I actually don't remember what it said but it was bizarre that he would be inquiring of me about sending a friendly postcard. Very bizarre. SO bizarre and strange that I communicated with his superiors about it and they apparently rebuked him and shut him down, and I never heard from him again.

 I guess he thought he would scare me but all it did was upset me so much so that I complained about it. And my complaint got thru to the right people at GRPD or Kent County Sheriff ( I can't remember) . 

So anyways, I just thought I would mention this because I don't believe Kim ever complained about it herself. It was Kim's sister as best as I can tell. I think the postcards that got thru to Kim herself were kindly received - because I knew she was a strong Christian and she knew my Christian path as well. 

So I think she appreciated the prayers and encouragement . To me she was a fellow Christian "sibling" so to speak. That's the way I think of my Christian school mates and Christian Reformed friends and associates that I knew from church or school etc. We are fellow members of the Body of Christ. 

I just want people to know that these were totally well-intended communication and I do this to people ALL OVER everywhere not just one former girlfriend or girl friend . 

And yes I did become an "seminary educated missionary" after all is said and done. I started my own Christian ministry and I continue to be a missionary/evangelist worldwide and especially around the USA ! Praise the Lord !

And I continue to pray for Kim and other girlfriends or girl friends as well relatives, guy friends,  church associates, former classmates, colleagues, etc. God bless you all. Tomorrow is Easter 2025  ! He Lives ! And hopefully We Live too (for Him!)

re Traitel conference room at Stanford

https://maps.app.goo.gl/xeXC6CTH7idUMiYV6?g_st=am 


Beautiful well kept room for conferences and presentations but there's always some random yahoo who breaks the rules or etiquette. One time some Latino punk put his feet up on the chair like he was lounging in his living room. Another time at the robotics conference an Asian gal behind me kept a constant trickle of candy wrapper sound as she munched on her little treats (despite strict no food rule, & despite plentiful food breaks , & despite a mean glare from me) . It was like having a little child on the loose without mommy to keep her in check. Like a spoiled little child whining "I'm bored mommy" . And that's what the monitors are supposed to be here for, but they're too timid to do anything to anybody except for you-know-who πŸ‘Ž. B

Re Rohnert Park library, Sonoma County CA

https://maps.app.goo.gl/BKbXfkbwRY3qdPDp7?g_st=am 

Pretty good Library. Nice atmosphere. Not too many homeless. The African-American security guard is totally cool 😎. He just goes through his rounds and doesn't bother you - doesn't stare at you. 

The other security guard an older Latino gentleman is a little different. He had never seen me before so he started treating me as if I was potentially suspicious. He tried not to make it too obvious but every time I went to refill my water bottle which is right next to the food donation basket which was overflowing the day I was there, he suddenly appeared in that lobby area and pretended just to be standing there but you could tell he thought I might try to grab some food out of there.

 Are you kidding me ? I'm not homeless. I dress well. I have a car & insurance , current tags etc. Higher education. And this guy is treating me - the adult 'white boy' like a suspect who might take a box of cereal out of the donation box ? 

I'll be 60-yo pretty soon. I'm not there to steal any food. In fact had I known about it, I would have brought some to donate myself. 

But if it causes this fellow so much concern, maybe they should move it closer to the circulation desk. God forbid some needy person might grab a box of food out of the donation box before it's been properly routed to wherever it's supposed to go for proper distribution.

re Marin county Civic center Library

https://maps.app.goo.gl/NKhEqq9Sz85ixMKv7?g_st=am 


The building is interesting architecture of course. But you have the local yokels who immediately know if you're from there or not from there. Which triggers a little button in their brains apparently. people who have worked in a place their whole lives become territorial after a while. 

So I have a hip disability and I found a nice spot where I could stretch out my leg a little bit while working on my laptop. I noticed I was in the so-called teen zone which every Library seems to think is mandatory. Even when the library is not in a high teen area . Which the Civic center Library does not seem to be.
 Yes, I noticed the sign saying teen zone but not until 2:00 p.m.. It was only 1:00 p.m.. so I sat down and got to work. 

And yes I have been here before - in fact I'm not from far away- just not a regular here. The staff that I saw working seem to be pretty relaxed and friendly. I didn't see anybody taking mental notes about me being there. 

And 2:00 p.m. rolled around and there were no teens at all. Around 2:30, maybe they changed shifts - suddenly a young man approached me with urgency and informed me  I couldn't stay in the teen zone. I said, " but there's no teens here ". He replied, "I know but we just want to keep it clear" . I replied, "Thanks for doing your job. " 

When actually I was thinking, if he really wanted to be conscientious about doing his job, he would wait until a teen or teens came in who wanted to use the teen zone. But you could tell he was the type of person like your mother who would say "I'm not going to argue . Rules are rules" . 

Except when they're not. It's about the spirit of the law. It's why you should be upset if a police officer gave you a speeding ticket for going 56 in a 55 mph. He's violating the spirit of the law. But there will always be those types of people who just want a job where they enforce a rule WITHOUT HAVING TO THINK ABOUT IT. 

You just want ,or hope, to expect more at a an establishment where you assume people are there because they enjoy "using their brains" and they didn't get a degree in library science just because it would be an easy mindless job.

re CISAC Luncheon Lectures At Stanford (Perry Conference room)

https://maps.app.goo.gl/T1SwMN3hvpJARvFt7?g_st=am 


Because I don't see a separate listing for CISAC (Center for International Security and Cooperation) on maps I will do the review here . It's about the periodic luncheon lectures on the second floor Perry room. 

Most recently on 3/4/25 I was there to hear a lecture entitled "Russia and Iran: Partners in Defiance from Syria to Ukraine" by Nicole Grajewski. I arrived a few minutes late just as it was starting. There's an African-American lady who checks the names to see if you're entitled to have a lunch (if you RSVP'd) .

 She always tells me sternly to BE QUIET when she asks me my name even though I'm already being quiet. It feels more like Power & Control rather than a sincere concern that by saying my name too loud I might be disrupting the lecture. I could sense immediately that she does not approve of me. 

Nonetheless, she gave me the okay to grab a meal from the table and so I took it and entered the conference room and almost all the empty chairs were right in front of the speaker. I wish they could have the first arrivals sit up front so that people who come in a little bit late don't have to walk awkwardly all the way up to the front . This seems to be more of a disruption than saying my name too loud in the hallway. 

Then, the lunch they provide is too complicated. All I want or need is a basic sandwich. Instead I got sushi and rice and a little bit of beef, inside a styrofoam dish that was very loud to open. And they give you some sauce to pour on it which is also difficult to open let alone open it quietly.

 In fact it was so difficult I just set it aside afraid that I was going to pop it open and spill it all over myself- some kind of green curry filled to the brim.  I decided to try to eat the meal without the sauce, but the first bite of the rice was cold & not appetizing to me. 

I don't know how they order these meals. Does the person who coordinates everything have a choice about what's on the menu ? If so, I encourage them to make it more simple next time.

 Finally, I am a simple member of the public and not an expert on any of these topics. And I'm surrounded by these people called "fellows " who are studying the exact topic about which is being lectured upon. These are the people who should be in front. 

Here I am, a simple man, forced to sit up front with these two experts ( Nicole & the professor) in front of me during the question period after the lecture. I have average knowledge of the topic of Iran and Russia based on reading the news, listening to podcasts etc, & yes I am a college graduate & graduate school but not in this area of study. I'm educated, but relatively simple.

 I like the idea of them keeping these lectures open to the public but they should have separate seating areas. Put the public in the back so we don't have to awkwardly sit in front of the experts and feel stupid.

 And make the meals simple. Pizza is a good easy one. Or sandwiches with a side of chips. Nonetheless, thank you for your hospitality or attempt to be hospitable. And tell the African-American lady I'm not a bad person. I'm a good guy with good intentions and a good heart ❤️. God bless you. 

I have always lived by this Bible verse

I have always lived by
 this Bible verse:

"Do not take revenge, 
my dear friends, 
but leave room
 for God's wrath, 
for it is written: 
"It is mine to avenge; 
I will repay," says the Lord."
     ......      -Romans 12:19

Speaking of which, when I was a student at Fuller, there was an  incident in which I was a victim of police brutality. When I took them to court, the opposition somehow got some of the papers I wrote for a class at Fuller Seminary, and they quoted something that I wrote to try to portray me as justifying violence. 

Not only was it misquoted and out of context to try to make me look like a person who justifies violence in some cases (as opposed to 'just war' at a plural or 'corporate 'level), the question is which person(s) at Fuller seminary saved the papers that I wrote and gave them to somebody in the opposition in my case against the city. 

(And it raises another question about why they're making copies of papers that I wrote, & apparently of students in general? Why they keeping/copying the intellectual property of students and trying to make a psychological profile of them?  When I write a paper for a class, I assume it's read by the  almighty professor , graded, & returned to the student. And that's the end of it. But this might not be the case at Fuller .
It's kind of sickening, eerie,  & creepy to say the least. 

If you are a current student at Fuller Seminary, you might want to inquire about whether they they are keeping your intellectual property, and God forbid that anything should happen again such as happened to me,  whether they will use it against you , or allow it to be used against you in an inappropriate manner out of context. 

But then, of course, if they're doing this furtively behind the scenes, will they be honest if you inquire about it? ) And I don't mean to cast aspersions on everybody at Fuller, it may be just a few rogue persons )

But somebody (singular or plural) at Fuller Seminary betrayed me and tried to make me look like a bad person, or a  person with potential for violence. 

This was/is very disturbing to say the least. Who, at Fuller is so high and mighty that they think they can decide who is a good or bad person ? All of us come from different backgrounds and different walks of life and spiritual progression. The word progression means spiritual growth. Nobody comes in to Fuller like a perfect little innocent saint nor leaves as a perfect person.

 None of the professors either. Neither attending Fuller nor working at Fuller makes you a perfect person. We are all still on a journey hopefully improving in our walk with Christ daily. Whichever rogue person or persons is behind this kind of nonsense, to put it mildly, needs to take the log out of their own eye first. 

Are they taking your intellectual property and putting it into some sort of psychological AI processor and coming up with some kind of profile based on very superficial material. Or handing it over to somebody even more supercilious in the psychology department to "analyze"? People who think they know much more than they actually do?  People who think they know more than God Himself? 

Fuller seminary also takes grants from pharmaceutical companies. Huge grants by the way, not just a few pennies here and there. So you need to ask who are they bowing down to in reality ? What drives them? Can you trust them ? Who are they in bed with ? 

And of course, there's good people at Fuller seminary: students, staff , & faculty. But if the central nervous system is controlled by a few corrupt individuals, as they say " a bad apple ruins the whole batch. "

 I was and am a good person with good intentions, a good♥️ heart,  and still growing in Christ ✝️ on a daily basis. I have never advocated violence against other individuals or taken the law into my own hands. And I have never used violence against anybody. Repeat: NEVER

We ask for spiritual intercession for Fuller Seminary to weed out some of the evil within. I ask prayer warriors to pray constantly without ceasing for Fuller Seminary and a Holy Spirit breakthrough!

They will watch you obsessively if they think you are video recording a single second . They assert that "this is Stanford private property"..therefore they have the right to say "no video".

 Regardless of the legality of such a claim , who wants to get an argument with these white supremacists (and I'm white too) .

 The 2 older white guys (60's & 70's, maybe 80's) are so freakin bored out of their minds because nothing ever significant happens, they have to create FICTION in their minds to keep themselves engaged . They create drama even when " THERE'S NO THERE THERE",esp John KeatingπŸ‘ŽπŸ˜‘. 

IT'S time for Stanford to get some "young blood " in the ranks of the Red People, and of diverse skin colors. This isn't the 50's anymore .

The RED PEOPLE literally are so bored to death because of good behavior, they have to find,  or create things, to NITPICK about to give them a sense of purpose.

 It's really SAD 😑.Berkeley doesn't have this problem. The "watchers" there are laid back 😎and cool and make it an enjoyable experience, and includes younger people as well as African-Americans. Why has the fun- loving Stanford community been inflicted with the Red Plague ⁉️

Re Stanford TOTAL VIDEO FOOTAGE BAN πŸ‘ŽπŸ˜‘ ( not even legal ?)

I've been coming to Stanford events for years and I usually take a short video clip or 2 to remember the event years layer .. Plus people seem to enjoy them .. I understand if Stanford doesn't want people to live stream or tape the entire event ( which I would never do nor want to do) but short clips have always been a basic public legal right at public events (even if they are on 'private property ' such as a stadium, private school, etc. for parents, fans, journalists etc.

re nitpicking at Milpitas Library

i went to the upstair section and sat in a soft chair with the laptop cord plugged in to the nearby desk. moments later the white lady told me that "policy" doesn't allow it  (apparently watching me intently, i don't know why, other than she is one of those white females who likes to nitpick white males (in a mostly non-white library, predominantly asian now)  so she can feel superior)  (she had to twist her neck to watch me as she was normally looking the opposite direction). meanwhile I see kids sitting on the floor in one section (probably also a policy violation), and after I moved to a new seat an asian guy sat down and put a blanket over his head and fell asleep and started snoring loudly and nobody said anything about it. what this tells me is that I was targeted not because of a serious "policy violation" (hardly anybody walks in that corner so it would not be a actual tripping concern) but because of being a white male. SHAME ON THIS LADY.

But also, why not add some plugs near the soft chairs on the 2nd floor. I can't sit very long in the hard chairs at a desk because of a hip disability. If it's a serious concern to have a cord stretched over to a desk , add some plugs near the soft chairs to accomodate those of us with disabilities .

re Sunset Beach lifeguard who will NOT get out of his truck (LAZY) πŸ˜‘πŸ‘Ž (north of Huntington Beach CA)

https://maps.app.goo.gl/2ckY2TM6K8soAa5S7?g_st=am 

Every time I go body surfing during the winter when hardly anybody else is out there the lifeguard in his truck always comes and parks directly across from me and just sits there and watches me the ENTIRE TIME I'm body surfing. 

THIS STARTED HAPPENING a few years ago. And then I hadn't been back for a while. But then I returned recently and it happened again. The lifeguard SHOULD be able to CLEARLY πŸ‘€SEE by observing for a short while that I'm a competent swimmer & of an age and maturity that I am able to handle myself (this happens even when it's low tide & I'm body surfing waist deep - no rip tides, no danger, not even high surf necessarily) .

 So there's something else going on besides a concern for my safety. It almost feels like harassment. He could sit in his truck a little ways down the beach so it doesn't feel so conspicuous and obvious that he's sitting there watching ONLY ME.  

Needless to say, this is the permanent lifeguard who never gets out of his truck. He's not like the physically fit college kids who do it for a summer temp job. I wonder if he actually ever goes into the water. Has he ever actually had to save somebody ? It's a shame really that they pay somebody to do that job permanently and NEVER get out of the truck. 

There should be a requirement that he walks the beach at least once or twice per day. Nobody likes being harassed by a lifeguard πŸ‘ŽπŸ˜‘. LEAVE ME ALONE. I DON'T NEED OR WANT YOU WATCHING ME SO INTENTLY .

re Encinitas library

https://maps.app.goo.gl/3WbDLG3nhgKeRMFg6 


I'm concerned about some of the security guards at this library being supremacists. The problem is that whatever color the security guards are, they will usually end up being supremacists in favor of their own color. You might say well since I'm so-called 'white" and most of the security guards are white that it works in my favor.

 Problem being is that I don't want or need any kind of favoritism. And human nature is to become lazy (not necessarily lazy but also mentally) if the security guards don't have something constructive to do. 

And I'm concerned about the minds of the security guards becoming lazy (ie minds drifting, not constructively occupied).

 The question is why security is needed at all ? Let alone 2 security guards per shift ? I remember the days before there was security and I never recall anything too bad happening.

 As such, the only rationale for suddenly requiring two security guards per day per shift is usually something POLITICAL. And at a library that usually means it's in favor of the Lefty cause unfortunately.

2.13.26 re Discount Tire, 2580 S Kolb Rd, Tucson, AZ 85710

https://maps.app.goo.gl/97cNfSHfkd92RsEp6 


They're very friendly, initially, on the phone 🀳 said they'd do a free patch/plug for a tire with a nail. Then when I arrived they claimed it was too worn out to legally patch or plug. And they claimed 3 of my 4 tires were legally worn out- 
Ie past the legal driving limit. Literally just drove from CA to Washington DC and back . I replaced one tire in New Orleans during Superbowl weekend. Then made it to AZ. noticed low tire in The morning. Added air. Saw small nail in middle of tire ( ie repairable) , checked it myself for bubbles (yep). After I declined 3 new tires for $400 the attitude of the friendly mexican -american ( all mex- Americans working here) changed: not so friendly - HE WOULDN'T EVEN ALLOW ME TO ADD AIR TO THE SLIGHTLY LOW TIRE SO I CAN GO ELSEWHERE CLAIMING IT WAS ILLEGAL TO ADD AIR BECAUSE ITS TOO WORN OUT. Seriously? Wow 😑 unbelievable. I'm reporting this to corporate. Went elsewhere and got it patched - no problem.

Re St. Tammany Parish Library South Slidell Branch, near New Orleans Louisiana

https://maps.app.goo.gl/MSR3BHPQ7AELSPWR6 


Somebody (probably juveniles) vandalized my car while I was in the library. They ripped the red ribbon πŸŽ€ off my front grille . This was on my grille to cover the cracked grille until I can find a replacement. The juveniles probably thought it was "gay". 

No. I'm not gay nor am I promoting it. I'm actually a Christian evangelist with traditional values. It never occurred to me that this could be interpreted as "gay'' but when I reflect on the way adolescents minds work, I suppose I can see how it might be misperceived as such, along with my out-of- state plates from a state that is often slandered by some, due to the politicians behavior (but which many of us who live there also do not agree with).

So when people make broad sweeping negative generalizations about those of us with such license plates based on our politicians, they are adding further insult to injury to those of us who disagree with our own politicians. 

I personally am more in agreement in general with the politics of places such as Louisiana and Mississippi but some people ignorantly & WRONGLY ASSUME that because of my license plate I am in agreement with the politics of my state.

 The teen kids of these people probably internalized the same misjudgements and is probably why they vandalized my car: the red ribbon πŸŽ€ in conjunction with my license plate. 

Thankfully they didn't key my car paint or flatten my tires. Maybe the surveillance camera inhibited them, or maybe hopefully they have at least enough self-restraint not to go so far. 

I was able to re-tie the red ribbon πŸŽ€ to my front grille. It looks better than a cracked grille. And NO, it DOESN'T mean I am gay. I'm NOT gay. I am a male who loves women. 

Hopefully somebody can teach these juveniles (and their parents if necessary) not to make such ignorant superficial erroneous presumptions πŸš«πŸ‘Ž based on a license plate πŸš— and/or a simple red ribbon πŸŽ€.

Re Wekiwa State Park, Florida

https://maps.app.goo.gl/C5nmCX7DQ1iCRABLA 


Snorkeling in the springs was nice. Can't complain about that- in the middle of January 2025 when there's a Arctic freeze polar vortex extending over almost everywhere else in the usa when it's snowing up there in Pensacola, Jacksonville & Tallahassee . Some kids in Florida are seeing snow for the first time πŸ‘πŸ₯ΆπŸ˜† using their skimboards to go sledding on. The water temperature was actually warmer than the air- very nice refreshing and you see some fish small and big. One thing that bothered me is that when I asked about fishing at the entrance the young ranger man, if that's what they call them here, told me I could not fish in the springs but to try Sand lake. So after snorkeling I did, But there's clearly NOT much to catch there if anything - that's for sure πŸ‘Ž. The real fishing with actual possibility is outside the springs along the river banks. Or I suppose if you're in a kayak you could do that as well. I'm sure the ranger man knew this as well so I was little bit ticked off that he treated me like some kind of stupid person to brush off. Or if he didn't, he needs to learn a little bit more about his own Park that he works at. Of course that's the new generation - some of them just go through the motions wherever they work and know nothing about the actual substance of the place . When I talk about going fishing, I want to actually have hope of catching something. I'm not one of those "fishermen" are just likes to stand there all day with a line in the water. If there's an elder manager/ ranger at this state park I hope you can educate these youngsters a little bit about this .

Re Walmart security harassment on 12/29/24 at Monrovia location

https://maps.app.goo.gl/GwwZq5b2SpLoZz3o8 


Walmart parking lot security on 12/29/24 at around 530pm was excessively aggressive to the point of harassment . I actually parked on the street next to the Walmart by the IHOP and the security car with orange lights perpetually revolving drove by me shortly after I parked. Then turned around and drove up very close to my car going the other way. There was no reason or justification for following me around or harassing me. Furthermore I'm on a side street on a public Street at this point. Walmart security has NO JURISDICTION in this area. It's like a fellow citizen harassing you. Actionable πŸ‘Ž. And I think I could get a pretty penny from Walmart for harassment

700 W Cesar Estrada Chavez Ave, 
Los Angeles, CA 90012


Every year on Xmas Eve I go to the annual La Holiday show. In 2023 my car was not starting well so I temporarily parked at the BK lot because I was afraid if it wouldn't start in the parking structure at the Dorothy pavilion it would be more difficult for a tow truck to pull me to a mechanic. It was not busy at BK πŸ” on Xmas Eve. 

It wouldn't start upon return so I slept in the car and was still there on Xmas Day. I didn't think they'd even be open on Xmas Day but they were. Albeit not busy at all. My car was in the furthest spot from the door - not a desired spot.

 I could have called for a tow using my roadside service but I didn't know where to take it on Xmas Day. Literally no mechanic is open. I had decided to wait there all day. But lo & behold suddenly a tow truck arrived. They claimed the manager had called. 

I went inside to verify & by the time I came back out they had put it partially on the tow bars. I demanded him to put it back down so I could at least try to start it and if that didn't work I would roll it off the lot. 

Miraculously it started ! An Xmas miracle πŸ™☝️. Praise the Lord . I was able to drive to a mechanic I knew a my and they took care of it the next day. Needless to say it was totally despicable thing to do on Xmas Day . SHAME & disgrace on this manager πŸ‘ŽπŸ˜‘

Re buying water at Safeway in Benicia CA

https://maps.app.goo.gl/vBY45aQ14qbdUNnZA 


Just traveling. Ran out of water. Usually I use the water machines in front of the store which cost me $.50 per gallon.. But it was broken on 12/14/24. Is it permanently broken? 

So instead I have to pay $3.50 for 2 gallons of water off the shelf. I know you're not in charge of the water machine outside. you don't have to tell me. but really, does water cost $1.50 a gallon now ? how much PROFIT is being made on the MOST NEEDY ?

 the only people who buy water are the people who are passing thru traveling etc.(for that matter, WHERE do the homeless get drinking water? Do they have to buy it off the shelf too? )

re not always walking in a straight line on Stanford campus & occasionally pausing

https://maps.app.goo.gl/pkngQvGLz9U6rQKe9 

Normally I walk in a STRAIGHT LINE to my destination on Stanford campus. However, occasionally, I may have to pause or even reverse direction for various reasons . In some cases I have to take a phone call and I'd rather pause to talk. In other cases I may not know exactly where my event is located. I may have gotten it wrong so I need to consult my phone. I may have passed it and need to double back. 

Why am I telling you what is probably obvious to most people ? Because apparently there are some people, usually female,who are easily disturbed by any aberration in a male person's walk. They seem to think that any kind of pause or change of direction is a clue that they are potential predators. I don't know how to get it through to them because you can't talk to such persons usually. So I am posting it here maybe they'll read it or maybe some of you will be able to communicate it to them better than I am. 

99% of men are NOT predators, including me 🚫. In fact, most of us men are able & willing to help a woman in distress. But if you keep treating us men like we are the enemy you're not going to have many friends left. I now have to pre-plan my walk accordingly if there's a certain type of female in the vicinity so that I don't cause alarm and, God forbid, get misinterpreted in my intentions. 

For example, recently I was walking to my car and it was dark and a female was a few steps ahead of me and she was nearing my car. And I was on the other side. And I knew that if I crossed over directly towards my vehicle I would almost intersect with her and she would think I was walking straight at her. So I paused and pulled out and pretended I was talking on my phone so that it would seem natural. But I didn't notice that there was another female coming up behind me. So after female #1 had passed and I crossed over towards my car apparently this set off the alarm bells in female #2 & suddenly she went running past me because she didn't want to take the chance that I was hiding in the shadow of 2 cars lying-in-waiting for her, instead of actually I was standing next to my car door by that time trying to get my key in the dark clock.  

The point of the story is to hopefully communicate to nervous females that 99% of us males ARE NOT PREDATORS. But if you keep treating us like we are potential predators you are alienating your potential protectors in case anything actually does happen. 

And trust me, most men are NOT thinking about raping a woman as they walk down the street. Nor are they even thinking about you as a sexual object. Most men are JUST LIKE YOU, trying to get to their car or their destination. Period. Full stop.

My message to a female university student after delivering her lost keys

Dear student, 

In the "real world" 🌍 you probably NEVER would have gotten your keys back. Most people wouldn't take the time to try to locate you, contact you, & then also deliver them to you. There's NO LEGAL OBLIGATION.  And I obviously didn't do it for a financial πŸ’° reward.

 Nor because you were "SO NICE ABOUT IT" (altho try to  remember that BEING NICE does help in the real world.) Oh that's right, you did include "please" x1, & then you concluded with an imperative to let you know when I drop them off. A little bossy. People don't like bossy in the real world πŸš«πŸ‘Ž. 

The ONLY REASON I did this is because I am a Christian✝️. I don't know if that means anything to you. I hope you will go out of your way to help somebody likewise in the near future. 

Your keys were dropped off at the location you requested at 3:50 pm (PST).

12/5/24 I'll never forget this day when we received TSUNAMI ALERTS on our phones . I was at the hospital

12/5/24 I'll never forget this day when we received TSUNAMI ALERTS on our phones. ... I was at the Palo Alto hospital which is in the San Francisco Bay area. so I tuned in & slowly but surely the news reported the story and was giving updates live on YouTube (not this channel but a different One).   

Actually the the 7.0 earthquake hit up near fort Bragg which is considerably further north of San Francisco but then they started warning ⚠️ that this is also for the Bay area. Then I saw San Francisco Zoo was evacuating not only people but animals too , or moving the animals. Then the guy on YouTube live said "if it hits it will hit around 12:10 p.m." Not sure how they calculated that. 15 minutes. 

 Then suddenly a few minutes later it was ALL CALLED OFF. Just like that.

I traveled through Phuket one week after the tsunami hit and surveyed the damage and did a little disaster relief on a very micro level and passed out some Bibles and things like that. (More like a reporter with Bibles).  So  I've seen the damage first hand.  It's incredible- not something to be minimized . I'm

I have a hip disability which means if I sit scrunched up for too long I will be in severe pain for the next 24 hours.

re Atherton Library

https://maps.app.goo.gl/cuADBgCPNW9ZGuXm6 


One problem here is that they allow "people of color" ( ie so-called
 ' minorities ' ) to BULLY 😑white people. It's not so much that they allow it but that staff has been brainwashed to believe that minorities are ALWAYS RIGHT because of their skin color. IT'S ' white guilt ' on steroids. Therefore if any conflict arises, the benefit of the doubt ALWAYS goes to the person of color even if he is the AGGRESSOR. 

It's time to re- think the in-service training because the fact is it's wrongly punishing good white people. And savvy minorities are taking advantage of it at the expense of very good white people. 
( And remember: ' minorities ' are NOT the minority in CA. They're the MAJORITY. So when white people get bullied by minorities, it's the ACTUAL MINORITY being bullied πŸ‘Ž.) 

 San Mateo Library management needs to wake up to this REALITY before they allow whites to become an endangered species.

re Atherton Library , San Mateo county CA

https://maps.app.goo.gl/JxjxdDEXMC48xKe96

It's a beautiful little library but unfortunately it's been occupied by "Gangsters" who spend their entire day here, day after day after day ....after day.

 The problem is that so much prolonged time at any one place leads to a sense of entitlement (ie "mine") , the same way a homeless person comes to think they "own" a particular place on a public sidewalk & become surly 😑towards any approaching person. After a while you just don't want to go near there anymore.  

I live near the library in Atherton but now I actually drive to San Carlos when I need to use a San Mateo county library (unfortunately they have a 'permanent resident' too but not as many as at Atherton) .

I ENCOURAGE LIBRARY MANAGEMENT to think of creative ways to minimize the problem of 'permanent residents' occupying the library at the expense of the average patron who wants to enjoy the library for a few hours periodically.

Upstairs, by the parking entrance there's now a table for one person to plug in. So it looks like a new regular has claimed it as his spot. Problem is he leaves his stuff there plugged in and walks around. Then he acts suspicious towards everybody. If you're afraid your cheap little laptop might get stolen you creep, then take it with you rather than treat all of us like potential suspects. There's NO FREAKIN COMMUNITY at this library. It's so dreadful and getting worse.

Now they put a lock on the electric curtains on the mezzanine so an employee has to put them up and down. Well, the sun was over the hill, so it would have been nice to put them back up for a few hours since the light is so dim but NOBODY ever came up to do their job. So I got to stare at a white curtain instead of the nice outdoors.

Usually 4 or 5 stars EXCEPT this review is about the dreaded hateful "STANFORD STARE DOWN"  that some at Stanford aim at people they don't like even if they've never met the person. This is usually a lefty political thing towards people the lefty person deems to be conservative.

 I've been the brunt of the dreadful STANFORD STARE by people I've NEVER met or spoken with and committed NO sins against. They will aim their steely eyes πŸ‘€ at you in the middle of a lecture or wherever .

 It's a creepy feeling to be the victim of this unwarranted attack. It really is an attack. And I've never even voiced my political affiliation around people at Stanford. It's not relevant when I'm attending a lecture etc.

I continue to ENCOURAGE professional talkers (aka radio & podcast hosts ) when making DENIGRATING statements about "Californians" to remember to add "LEFTY Californians" because, just like black people , & just like Latinos, & just like white people ( maybe i should say JUST LIKE ALL PEOPLE ) we're NOT ALL THE SAME.

Also there's a difference between the average liberal versus a radicalized lefty. So when you use "libs" as a sweeping generalization you are missing the mark. Suggestion: learn about this from Dennis Prager)

Re potentially dangerous homeless fellow in forest on edge of Stanford campus near Town & Country

https://maps.app.goo.gl/zHyZhVyKTbs3haQU7 


Normally 4 to 5 stars, but recently 3 stars because of African American homeless fellow in the woods on Stanford property (across from Town & Country car wash).

 On 11/8/24 I took a shortcut walking back to my car which I parked off campus to avoid fees and this fellow was sitting by a tree near the road and immediately stood up & started yelling aggressively & staring menacingly. He apparently had a sense of entitlement to being there & said something disparagingly about "Stanford students" even though I'm not a student (just attending an event) . 

I thought about calling Stanford police but hope this might alert them instead. Would like to see them patrol these forest areas on foot periodically to prevent this sort of problem before it leads to an actual incident.
