Review of Palos Verdes hiking

Used to love hiking here to "get away" ...  I managed to accept & work around all the parking "mickey mouse"  🐁 👎 that continues ( new rules every month). 

BUT then the new "ranger(s)"  (seem like city kids barely out of high school) in their white trucks became overbearing - they seem to think they have a right to drive up to you & speak thru their window at you while you walk down the sidewalk. & Later parking near where I was resting - clearly an attempt to assert their presence. 

This is the way it is now going in even the most remote parts _ even a "lifeguard" all year at remote Abalone Cove. It has an ulterior motive: to tell the people that the CA government is IN CONTROL of you in ALL places (whether local city or state) at ALL times. So I just QUIT hiking here.

 I think the residents are finally achieving their goal of getting rid of people. What a SHAME. I can easily LEAVE the state & enjoy epic hiking areas around the country & stay out of CA for months on end. 

BUT NOT all others are so lucky. PV used to be such a special place . I've been coming here since the MarineLand  days.  Key words: "used to be". Farewell. Enjoy the prison you created for yourselves

Dear St Columban Catholic, Garden Grove CA ✝ ❤ 🙏

Update: hello Vietnamese community. I am a white American male & usually attend the English mass but occasionally if i miss daily morning mass i will drop in at the Vietnamese-language evening mass. Notice i say "language" because it is NOT reserved for ONLY Vietnamese-Americans. White Americans ARE allowed too. Please DON'T stare at me like I'm a intruding. I can follow the liturgy on the screen & even use a translator app to understand the homily. We ALL need the eucharist . Please be accepting of me as a fellow believer in Jesus Christ.

CẬP NHẬT: Xin chào cộng đồng Việt Nam. Tôi là một người đàn ông Mỹ da trắng và thường tham dự Thánh lễ tiếng Anh nhưng đôi khi nếu tôi bỏ lỡ Thánh lễ buổi sáng hàng ngày, tôi sẽ ghé vào Thánh lễ buổi tối bằng tiếng Việt. Lưu ý tôi nói "ngôn ngữ" vì nó không được dành riêng cho người Mỹ gốc Việt. Người Mỹ da trắng cũng được phép. Xin đừng nhìn chằm chằm vào tôi như thể tôi đang xâm nhập. Tôi có thể theo dõi phụng vụ trên màn hình và thậm chí sử dụng ứng dụng dịch để hiểu bài giảng. Tất cả chúng ta đều cần Bí tích Thánh Thể. Xin hãy chấp nhận tôi là một người đồng hương vào Chúa Giêsu Kitô

Re Beverly Hills Library

There's a creepy little kid (young adult) who roams around the library with a laptop bragging that he's a " computer programmer " as if anybody cares. On top of that he calls people "faggots" . And if you complain, the staff treat it as an argument between 2 patrons. 
But it's a one-sided un-instigated attack by the creep with the laptop.

 Plus he tries to sit at the library computers with his laptop when there's tables everywhere for laptop users. He got kicked out one time after lying that he had "special permission".  I hope staff permanently bans him sooner before later.
