Review Re Polin Spring Ecology Trail, Presidio San Francisco

Review Re Polin Spring Ecology Trail,               Presidio San Francisco 

Nice hiking trails 👣 BUT there are TONS of local yokel parents hovering over their super precious kids 👦 👧 & you represent "stranger danger" to them. It kind of ruins the vibe of taking a hike 🚶.

 One kid actually announced "stranger" as I passed by. Another kid said "What are you looking at?" as I turned the corner & they were on the path. Both kids sounded SCRIPTED as if they had practiced with their PERFECT parents.

 Wow. This is the future of America 🇺🇸 -kids trained to adore & worship their parents (but NOT God) & be suspicious of everybody else .

 Do this hike once to get to know the area & then cross it off your list. 

Re Spirit of Social Distancing

So a church ⛪i attended recently was doing everything they can of course to try  be in compliance with health and safety & sanitization re covid-19 prevention 👍, but one thing they're doing that seems to be contrary is funneling everybody through one side door .

I can see why in the beginning as we're coming in it might be easier to have everybody go thru one door 🚪but even at the end of the service everything remained blocked off.  IN fact I started trying to exit towards the back and there were two guys standing there - one who acted like he was about to tackle me if I tried to go out that way . 

But it seemed to me it would be more in the spirit  of social distancing to allow people to exit in various different ways depending on which way they're going.  WHY make everybody funnel out the same door and get close to each other unnecessarily ? 

By the way it also is a reminder that when you give a volunteer  a job at church sometimes they become zealots & take it too seriously . just chill out guys . 

Re Spirit of the Law

The priest or deacon at St Ignatius in SF missed a perfect opportunity to talk about the spirit of the law but instead he apologized for committing a minor traffic infraction and said he should have known better. He was talking about driving thru the city and he was at a red light and there was absolutely nobody around & he was running late for something important and  decided to turn right on red even though the sign said no right turn on red.

  And suddenly he saw the police lights behind him and  received a citation. I thought he was going to going to start talking about the spirit of the law of turning right on red - usually if there's  a sign that says no turn on red in certain situations  it's at unpredictable & more dangerous intersections, but since he had clearly looked every single way and done everything properly it was okay in this situation because the spirit of the law would justify it (which is related to public policy , which is supposed to be behind every law as every law student knows). 

 Instead he took the  opportunity to apologize publicly to the church  & self-chastize & say he shouldn't have done it.  Basically he was making a case for being legalistic - the exact opposite of what Jesus was trying to teach to the Pharisees and Sadducees back in the day.

  It was a  bit bizarre to hear this from a man of the cloth which is why I wonder maybe this was a deacon rather than a priest (a little less educated) but even sometimes the most educated make such a mistake . 

Anyways let me use this as an opportunity to let people know that there is the spirit of the law behind Biblical law as well as today's man-made laws ( called public policy ) or  supposed to be and when police violate the public policy of the law (ie the intended purpose) you can challenge them in court . 

Now in the case of minor traffic infractions you probably won't win simply because judges too often "rubber stamp" everything,  but we should keep in mind that there is a spirit of the law . Like if you're driving in the middle of the night and you come to an intersection and it's a really long red &  no traffic whatsoever- the spirit of law would say you CAN go through it (after stopping and carefully looking both ways to make sure it's clear)even if the letter of the law would say you must wait until it turns green. Comprende ?

Is  this the liquor store that turned off their outdoor water spout because some poor homeless man filled up a bottle of water from their outdoor tap ❓ how disgusting & despicable is that ❓you can't even allow a poor person to get some water from your TAP Outdoors ?

are you that freaking greedy ? & creepy ?

 And you make your living selling booze 🍺 🍸 🍷 to people ?  a lot of whom DON'T need booze - some are alcoholics.  You will be held accountable someday by God for your greed and your contributions to the delinquency of society. 👎

5/13/21 Review of St Gregory Church, San Mateo CA

5/13/21 Review of St Gregory Church, San Mateo CA

Wow that was quite the experience . I'm just visiting the area and I looked up the local Catholic Church for daily mass and it said they have noon Mass so I arrived around 11:55 and all the doors were locked but then I saw a side door open and as I approached a man maybe a priest  -he  looked Filipino or Latino came to the door and he saw me and he said "can I help you?" I said "Isn't there noon Mass today?"  he said "Yes BUT ITS NOT OPEN to the PUBLIC. "

First of all if we're going to church at noon in the middle of the week we're NOT really just like  unchurched public people - we're a little bit more devoted than  the average person.  Personally I also may  have MORE education than this fellow- maybe he was a deacon -I don't know.  I went to Seminary (BA/BA/M.DIV). 

So that was kind of rude and dismissive & presumptuous of him as if he was some kind of special person & I was just a "random member of the public" walking by randomly hoping to go to church for the 1st time in my life. 

(But if I was - if he was a SINCERE Christian he would REALLY be concerned about inviting me in, or should be)

(by the way he did NOT look very impressive.  He was kind of rollie pollie maybe a little bit obese, NOT very well-dressed -he didn't have a priest robe on either so I don't even know for sure he was a priest. maybe he's just an assistant of some sort) 

Second of all, why don't they fix their website  to say the noon masses are "online only". I said this to the fellow and he said in a VERY HOLLOW tone "SORRY ABOUT THAT".  I DON'T think he meant it  at all . He did NOT sound sincere. 

I highly doubt he will go back and correct it or notify the people who need to correct it . That tells me a lot about this place. These random behind-the-stage encounters tell you a lot about the reality of an organization. Disappointed 👎
