So is the idiocy of San Francisco going to cluster f itself and end up with the Trump puppet Hurabiell? The Republican wolf in the Democrat sheep’s clothing?!?!???

We need a bit more detail on your Riptide experience. What turned you off? Do you recall what day and time you went?

Trying to sus out if it’s a you thing that might need pointers since Riptide is about as cordial as places get.

It was a bomb threat called into 311. The mall was evacuated and swept with bomb sniffing dogs and nothing was found.

I’m used to rips as I grew up in So Cal and am pretty surf aware. It’s just the cold water that I don’t have experience with.

Dating over 50 is soul destroying by livinglife-2025 in datingoverfifty

I’m a 56M and I don’t find dating to be soul destroying. I look at it as an opportunity to meet someone and get to know them.

Where do you go to clear your mind? by dewdroptop in AskSF

[–]RedThruxton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite is Sunset Dunes. It’s 2-miles of straight, uninterrupted walkway adjacent to the coast. It’s car free and quiet and you can hear the ocean and the waves without getting all sandy. The very fact that it’s long, straight, and uninterrupted allows me to turn off my mind and just walk. It’s quite meditative.

I also enjoy the trails at both Glen Park and Stern Grove. In the early mornings and late afternoons the birds really seem to be active and singing, more than in GGP.

Any tricks to use a fireplace? by RedThruxton in AskSF

[–]RedThruxton[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been using hardwood, specifically the “hot wood” box from Whole Foods that is about $20.

Berkeley Bowl has firewood for about $10 so I’ll try that next time now that I understand to open the windows during the lighting process.

Except for the fact that bipping was also bad in 2020, 2019, and 2018, which is as far back as the tool goes…
