I had read some books re the Boer War et al prior to the trip (which came just afterleaving CVUSD & when I returned I heard Jim Zoetewey had died...& then I traveled back toGR for a year at calvin seminary)...;the Africa trip was a great experience (including Kenya &Tanzania as well,and some animal safaris). South Africa stands out in my mind because I wastraveling by rental car just sort of winging it thru some remote parts of the country as well asJo'berg (ie Johannesberg) & Cape Town,among other large cities.And I was treated with muchhospitality by some white Afrikaans who immediately recognized me as an American trying toget to know the country. And of course there's the great "Biko" song sung by Peter Gabrielthat strikes a chord . And the list goes on. I have also enjoyed African music very muich & whyI was SO disappointed that your daughter Julie refused to return my Africa CD I allowed herto borrow as I was leaving St. Joseph during my charitable trip back in 2005 when Ivolunteered to try to help them during their difficult time. Nonetheless,Mandela was not aperfect person & even was part of the communist party (ie ANC) for a while (which is why theUSA was concerned about him as well for so long) & yet I've heard him quoted as saying "I amnot a saint unless a saint is a sinner who keeps on trying". That's a beautiful statement.RIP,NELSON MANDELA,1918-2013

Hmmm, we'll find out aboutthat..often times these clerks make grand statements that are not always completelyaccurate, but u never know,...if so, that's a big jump in price,,,assuming they were makingprofit at at buck...which they surely were..now there's not much more incentive to go tomcdonalds rather than starbucks ($1.65 for a tall with your own cup)...& when I was aroundmonterey and northward from there a dollar coffee meant ANY SIZE coffee..with one freerefill...so southern cal mcdonalds all the way to san diego & up to santa barbara have thehighest prices, albeit san francisco city is a bit higher. Should we go on strike?

    "bad" things about them to try to make them seem a bit naughty...wonder if that's what shewas doing..; funny that Buble seemed to do the same thing when he came on next...the 1sttime I ever saw Leno seem almost speechless when Michael sang a little song with the lastword unsaid, but obviously being a four letter word that begins with "f" that cannot be saidon network television without an FCC fine..finally Leno stammered "This is a side of you Ididn't know about"...it was really something..even the "prayer" Buble said he used to pray asa child was "naughty" , and made Bette blush. Crazy show I must admit,with these two littleangels trying to out-shock eachother & the audience, & Jay Leno. Finally,Buble sang a song to

    end the show...we had the best seats in the house for the final act,right in front of the musicstage. He's got a new album he's plugging,...he had a large entourage backing him up. Andthat was that...I come to the show every few months. This will hold me over for awhile...definitely will be around for Jay's final show not too far away...unless NBC doesanother "bring him back" act. Heard on NPR this morning that Leno is WAY out in front in

    viewership (ahead of letterman). But I don't get the feeling there's going to be a "part 3" forLeno this time around,unless its with another network. I think its just an age thing in NBC'smind..they may just want "young blood" for better or worse.

Did I miss them? (A smaller show plane ofsome sort just flew over after the parade passed...thanks!) Nonetheless, it was small butsignificant,..even if you don't believe in the use of military power...we can still show support& respect for much of what our veterans represent..incl my late uncle Sherwood..who was aLt. Col in the army & was in vietnam, among other places during his military career (whichtook a toll on his family)..so we say God bless our veterans & God bless our missionaries &evangelists * pastors, & chaplains, et al. & everybody else who is devoted to trying to makethis world a better place 4 everybody

    the 4th. Lackey pitched well thru the middle of the game, the Cards could only put a snake-eye on the board, & the rest, as they say....is HISTORY! Red Sox world champions 2013!!Congrats to Napoli & Lackey, both former Angels. Napoli deserves it after coming so closewith the Rangers as well (also versus cardinals).

Andseemed to say yes..nonetheless. no big deal..itwas fun throwing food to them...inside there's various fish & octopi (that's the plural ofoctopus)...one octopus was very lively, moving around..the aquarium is aging but the fishseem well-cared for...I left the aquarium & re-entered the attached gift shop & wanted tobrowse & maybe buy a few items but they (the young gal & the elderly lady..maybe grand-daughter & grandma?) ) gave a perfunctory "thank-you" as if I was just another customer at agrocery story to come & go....guess they didn't care if I browsed & bought anything else..but Itried to browse briefly..despite the seemingly somewhat unwelcome atmosphere..finally Igave up on any nice smalltalk from either of them & moved for the door...which seemed totrigger the elderly lady ...she said "bye hon"...which I didn't think was meant in a trulyaffectionate manner, but otherwise.Disappointing because they had a "Jesus" sign on theirdoor signifying their alleged allegiance to Jesus Christ, but I didn't feel the warmth.Nonetheless, maybe it was just the moment ...maybe the rain outside made them a bitdepressed..whatever the case may be,..they are in my prayers & I hope they keep good careof the precious sea creatures.

    Jim-lin,persecution of "Calvinists" is ON the RISE !...the name "Calvin" in mainstream culture is being increasingly maligned,...even at fullerseminary I periodically heard little snide remarks & cheapshots,...even by a few professors..perhaps aimed at me..b/c they knew I came from calvin college,,,the PROBLEM being thatmost people misunderstand calvin & calvinism & the mainstream media et al amplifies this

    misunderstanding,...furthermore most people who attend calvin college know very little ifanything about John Calvin or the so-called negative "calvinism" being maligned by theworld.10/22/13 THEY HAVE the NEW CLOVER COFFEE-MAKER HERE@ STARBUCKS,STA CRUZ(3)had read about seems like 2 years ago but until now haven't come across a starbucks thatactually has one..only "select" shops carry them...its an $11,000 machine...imagine that..tomake a cup of coffee (pacific ave)

    (Pacific ave)(2)...update,at 651am somebody is screaming in the restroom..(& the pock-facedlatino guy shown in this clip came in making LOUD noises & sat uncomfortably close rightnext to me with the apparent intentional purpose of making me get up & leave or sitsomewhere else so that he,apparently,could have his usual spot & use his laptop,...& ofcourse I DID get up & move...what else could I do? These sorts of people DON'T CARE if theyoffend people..in fact they ENJOY doing so...whatever it takes to GET WHAT THEYWANT...that's the sort of society we live in now...with those at the VERY BOTTOM , orpretending to be, controlling the milieu...in fact,ironically, this guy looked like a transient butthen bought a large coffee & bagel..so he isn't poor, ...albeit have u ever noticed how the so-called "poor" and "needy" seem to have the most disposable income for beer at the ballparkor specialty coffees @ mcdonalds,etc ) .

    curiously..then a bit closer suddenly it was like a "wall" of small seals rose up and literallySTARED at me...almost as if they were warning me that I had gotten close enough. I'm notsure what these creatures can do to humans, but they do have teeth, and earlier by the boatsI saw one tearing apart a salmon *(that's what one of the locals said it was doing),...so Iimagine they could do a bit of harm to a human if they wanted..so I backed off and they didlikewise..(((****1 thing that bothers me: PITBULL OWNERS WHO WALK their DOG OFF-LEASH,...I see so manypeople who own pitbulls & each one of them thinks "their pitbull" is not like others..that"their pitbull" is the most loving,friendly dog in the world (albeit they also like it for"ptrotection" just in case). They believe "their pitbull" is so nice it won't harm anybody(unless the person is threatening their owner)...and that's the problem,dogs can mispervceivea person as a threaat based on shape,size etc. Remember our black lab "friendly" who wasthe nicest dog in the world, but when we would go to lake michigan out at the public beach(back in the day when dogs were allowed) the only time she would bark or act a bitaggressive was when a black person walked by ..the reason being that black people at thebeach around the holland area were rare,..and also maybe in combination they weretentative around dogs, ..and dogs can sense tentativeness, but also I believe the reasonfriendly barked at black persons was simply that they represented a "different shape" so tospeak. Maybe it was as simple as the fact that they did not fit the "pattern". And I wasreminded of this as I walked on the sequoia-bayview trail today (10/11/13) in the joaquinmiller redwood area of oakland,california. As I walked I saw a man approaching with a dogoff-leash. It was either a pitbull or a bulldog,..and the dog was walking ahead of the man..andI slowed down a bit..as they approached to make sure I didn't alarm the dog. The dog slowedtoo and then stopped, and I stopped too...I trieed to speak in a friendly manner to thedog..."hi there" o said,..but then the dog sort of growled ..or made a strange noise. Maybe itwas a wjimper..not sure..; the guy just kept smiling..didn't call the dog's name or sayanything..as if he was enjoying watching the drama unfold,...then he said "I think its yourhat". I was wearing a sombrero of sorts.that would fit with the same theory I discuss above,something that doesn't fit "the pattern". But what bothers me is that he didn't appologize ormake any effort to intercede...and of course they are SUPPOSED to have their dog on leash....

    and so when I say "pitbulls" or similar classes of dogs I say it because these dogs have areputation for occassionally attacking (more so than other dogs). And I tend to think that theowners of such dogs enjoy watching the consternation of others in such cases.Around almostall other dogs I have no timidity, but pitbulls and the like are DEFINITELY a different breedwith a different temperament, and their owners in most cases specifically choose them forsuch reasons even if almost ALL of them will say "NOT MINE" when speaking of a dangerousbreed, and probably these are the same people who said such up until that time when their

Yet Joel Hogan didn't even go to calvin college & may not even be dutch. TomPost went to Calvin & may be Dutch but doesn't affiliate with us Dutch with weird ethnicnames. And the list goes on (also the Greenways). Recently,I went to a red cross blooddonation center & a manager lady named Patty asked me what ethnicity I was after seeing

I could have told her about the veterans in my family (not just Woody but also onthe peters side, there were some civil war veterans) and how many generations of Americansthere are in our family history, and how I went to college, did mission work, taughtschool,etc, but in one fell swoop she had turned me into a slightly-less-worthy than herselfethnic person by her question & tone. And so the need for a denomination that continues toprotect their own still exists, but yet I think we've been targeted by some who have used thecrc for their own advancement despite not having the natural affiliation (esp

    about music in general for some reason..to fill time..then shortly later a guy with long hairstanding behind me...(I was sitting on my beach towel watching the surfers)..tried to grab thefree Hurley hat the guy handed out earlier to a bunch of us...it's a baseball-style hat which Iput on top of my sombrero-style hat...& this long-haired guy, apparently "playfully", thoughtit would be funny to take it and put it on his head..so I turned & wondered what was going

    on..& who had the gumption to touch my hat....and he said "I wanted to try your hat...urrockin"...well, he looked more like the rocker than me; then he let it go..I thought aboutgiving it to him...but didn't.., & then as you can see here in the video..some time later he wasdown in front sort of "dancing" on the beach...& again I hear the announcer start talkingabout ozzy osbourne..& he specifically says "there's ozzy dancing ..." or something likethat..and he tells the anecdote re ozzy biting the head off a bird or bat..& so I'm wondering"IS THIS REALLY OZZY?"..this is the guy who was behind me trying to take my hat? I have afixed notion in my mind of what ozzy looks like from back in the "crazy train" days..andmaybe there's a little resemblance..but I would never guess it in passing without somebodyhinting at it..& I'm still not sure if I missed a joke ...so I still don't know for sure if this is ozzybut if it is...I didn't know he was a surfing fan..; I think he has a house in pasadena...last time Isaw him was at dodger stadium when he participated in a longest or loudest scream worldrecord..if I knew it was ozzy trying to take the hat off my head it would have been fun tostrike up a conversation with him..I enjoyed his hi-energy music at times back in the day9/12/13 "The JACKSONS" SING A-B-C @ L.A.

I'm always surprised when I find a church that has suchemployees...that whoever hired them didn't "vet" them to see if they care about the

    institution's mission..even crystal cathedral for a while had security that seemed to simplyenjoy power-&-control...not all seemed to care about the mission of the church..and yet thelarger the institution becomes the harder it is to control these variables..and so u have to ask"how large is too large" ..and at some point u have to blame the leaders for allowing such anenvironment...a place that advertises itself as "welcoming" yet has employees who couldessentially care less. I noticed the same at an annual street festival in palos verdes...the rent-a-cops ...in this case not even cops but black security guards from south L.A. monitoring asuburban, mostly white, crowd...who are not likely to cause problems...& don't need guards,

    with obvious contempt for white suburbia, constantly watching them like potential trouble-makers. I just can't help but wonder who made the decision to hire angry black securityguards for a suburban mostly white event? It seems to be done purposely in this case or theysimply opened a phone book and found any old security agency...maybe the lowest pricedone...; and I further noticed that the events & institutions I enjoy the most don't have any,or

    very little, security at all (or at least are invisible) Especially a big turn-off are churches withhighly visible security ...the fact that a person is going to church should speak for itself. I'veNEVER been at a church service where a disruption occurs that requires police or security .I just thought I would share this on my blog as a tip for institutions & event organizers. If youwant long-term success, take CARE about who you hire to do security tasks, & also lay downthe ground rules for what you expect from them, otherwise they could ruin yourorganization.

    only got stand-by tiks rather than a "counter ticket" (which guarantees a seat as long asyou're in line on time)...meanwhile, another lady next to me tried to enlist me in a gripe shehad with this lady asking questions..apparently there had been an argument about who wasin line first (& the standby tickets are numbered so it does matter)...but I did NOT want to beinvolved in their fight..and then the same lady snapped at me..just what I needed at 830 inthe morning..leave me out of your fight,please ! So I got a standby ticket #12..., will I get in ? Iwas able to get a counter ticket last time Obama was here & saw the show (this is NOT to say,by the way, that I am an Obama fan, but do make an effort to come see the tonight showehen various "dignitaries" are here, whether conservative or liberal, for the sake of hearing &seeing 1st hand what happens).
