Show me your Identification!

I wrote this letter to Terrible’s corporate office after an incident in which I was asked for ID. This is when I decided to stop smoking which was 12-11-2021. After I sent this letter, I was never asked for ID again for purchasing alcohol.

I have been discriminated against!
Teresa has always been a friendly nice lady. I remember her when she worked at store #156. She would sometimes give me a coupon while I purchased Nat Sherman cigarettes. Now she works at store #383 at 6660 Vegas Drive. For a couple of years she has done the ordering and specifically has ordered the Nat Sherman’s for me and has told me so several times.
On December 4th about 7:15am, Teresa warned me she was going to need identification as she was grabbing my favorite cigarettes. I opened my wallet and put it up to the window. Instead of asking me to take the license out of my wallet she got mad and said she “..had spoken to Mark”, “I don’t have to sell to you”.
I put a sticker that says “1776” so the date on my license is covered up. I would have taken the license out had she asked and assuming I wanted to make the purchase. I take it out at a couple of other places where they scan it into a computer.
One day a few weeks ago, I asked “Why do I have to show identification if you KNOW I am over 21, and you know I am over 30? I am 54 years old! How do I keep my right to privacy?” The manager Mark was listening to this conversation. I suspect the year that I was born is being put into the register for ordering purposes or statistical analysis. I now object to this data being collected. Teresa and Mark are using the Tobacco 21 law as an excuse for me to comply! Is this about whether I am 21? Is this about something else?
I spoke with Sandy at the Southern Nevada Health District regarding this incident. From their website there is FREE online tobacco merchant training at https://responsibletobacconv.com/. This training states that if someone looks under 30 years old, the merchant should ask for proof of age. Sandy invited me to take further action. I will wait a week or two.
I want the employees of store #383 to take the Free merchant training, stop harassing me and stop this discrimination!

Women’s Role

Definition of Church: Mathew 18:20 For where two or three gather in my name, there I am with them.

Ephesians 5:22-24 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. 24Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

1 Timothy 2:11-12 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

1 Corinthians 14:34-35 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. 35And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. 

My Homes: Now and Then

This is my current home is Las Vegas, Nevada.

Notice the tree in the real estate photo.

I rented this home 1 mile from my job.

This was taken at night. The light from the Luxor visible.

I rented the master bedroom here in my 1st home in Nevada.

I thought to hang a solar panel in a window was a good non destructive way to at least benefit a little and charge a phone or the like.

Before Las Vegas, I owned a home in Tempe, Arizona.

I rented a room off Craigslist. Some great memories and lessons learned. This is in Glendale Arizona.

I had an apartment next to the park and about a mile to my job. This is in Phoenix.

I rented an apartment in Gilbert, Arizona after I got an MCSE certification and seeking a better job.

This is in Bakersfield, California. I have years of memories… no further comment, at this time..

I seemed to clinch my fists in photos..

In Bakersfield, California. I had many years with my friend Michael P.

I lived with my sister here in Bakersfield.

I had this apartment in Bakersfield and it was very close to family, many friends and my job at Round Table Pizza.

An apartment down this walkway was my first living away from my parents. This is in Bakersfield.

This is in Moss Bluff, Louisiana near Lake Charles. I lived 9 months with my father and enjoyed free education.

I spent a lot of high school years with my mom and sister in Bakersfield here.

Here I had a moped and a paper route.

I had my own Basketball hoop in the alley. My 7th to 9th grade years.

We barely spent time in the front except when I had to mow the lawn. I believe my sister is posing to help finish a roll of film..

I used to carry bundles of newspapers upstairs to be folded for delivery. The reasoning was that my rubber bands were upstairs. Notice the cool ceilings.

Oildale, California is this house just north of Bakersfield. We told few, “We’re from Oildale”..

This house had a chain link fence around the front yard. We experienced a major dust storm that blew down a weeping willow tree.

I always had my own room. My first room in Bakersfield. I still have the gun poker picture. They are non functioning.

This is in Ojai, California. I love Ojai!

We ran all around the neighborhood, back by dark.

This is in Ventura, California. Look at the front door and the roof above it now compared to the 70’s.

I remember my sister and I playing in a boat in the garage. This is the same house as above in Ventura.

The mailbox is easily seen in this and the previous photo.

My father built this brick fireplace and the concrete square can still be seen on several Earth mapping software such as “NASA Worldwind” or “Google Earth”.

This house is in Santa Paula, California built in 1920 and sold for $424,500 last year.

This was my Grandparent’s house and the address here is listed in my birth records.

This house in Jacksonville, Florida was built in 1963.

I loved posing in front of this car. I found that on a 2nd day, I posed on the other side.

This is in Orange Park, Florida. I am believing now that this is a 2nd or 3rd home my parents lived at Doctor’s Lake near Jacksonville.

Another picture at a different angle and time perhaps. Is this a different house?

The plants keep changing in the photos. I appear to be at one of these houses shown above. Many pictures you see with black borders are photos of slides projected and not trimmed.

My father is walking me and all dressed up for some reason.

I was born in California while my parents lived at this Orange Park, Florida home on a lake. My father was overseas in the Navy, so my mother had me near his parents.

Another view of this home. These homes in the same complex must have been torn down as there are newer homes shown on Google maps.

Nothing moves in the universe (except us observers)

Light moves at the speed of light relative to an observer.   No matter how far the light has traveled and no matter how fast the object is moving, you see every ray of light coming into your eye at the speed of light.

I have learned from Physics and studying the Twin Paradox that time can slow down for one twin due to his traveling a great percentage of the speed of light.  I learned that if you could travel exactly the speed of light, you could be anywhere in the universe instantly, because you would not age.  However this is impossible to accomplish unless the mass of you plus the spacecraft equals zero.  Perhaps the observer in us has no mass and we travel through the universe with a space ship which is our body.

From this imaginary viewpoint looking at this observer, yourself or the twin traveling exactly the speed of light, he is motionless, has no thoughts and can not even push a button.  From our imaginary viewpoint (it’s imaginary because if there were another observer outside the spacecraft watching the twin be motionless, then we would be traveling at the same speed and therefore not be able to observe it, age, think or push a button)  the speed of light relative to that observer is still the speed of light.

What if the universe was already built?  What if the universe was a 3 dimensional fractal.  What if light only moves at the speed of light beCAUSE of time.  What if each ray of light that was going to go into your eye was motionless, waiting for you to get there for all of eternity and YOU zipped by it just in time because You are traveling at the speed of light?

Another idea I have is that if you imagine the twin at least being able to think, age and push a button, then he could be traveling 99.99999 or whatever percentage speed relative to the Earth (or whatever planet or star we mean when talking about the Twin Paradox).  An important point is that his speed must be relative to something else.  The fact that we can imagine ourselves watching this twin does not count.  Now to my idea, is that the light coming into his eyes, his body and spaceship make him.  Every moment of time he is created with a new copy of himself.

I say that all the light coming from every star you see at night that has been traveling towards you for thousands or billions of years is going to make you for an instant when the time is right.

If we were to imagine an imaginary viewpoint where we could see every pixel of light motionless and plotted on a 3 dimensional graph of x (length), y (height) and z (depth), and also see the “Path” that the observer is traveling, you would see the observer connected to each point of his past and his future.  You would see his whole life and see that he is still connected to his mother and everyone and everything.
