以宗教名義豁免疫苖注射

上個月和友人討論地產市道,無意中在cap圖包括了這則關於家長拒絕疫苖注射以致某些病死灰復燃的史丹福大學研究報導,提到其中一個家長的理由宗教,友人十分好奇甚麼宗教禁止信眾接受疫苖呢?於是我再Google一番,找到此文,原來個別教派認為單靠信仰就可得到庇佑,接受疫苖是多餘罷了;其實根本沒有宗教/教派的領導人/發言人明言禁止。不過,任何人都可以宗教為由得豁免而無需證明自己信的是何教!要用來作藉口實在太容易了。

The Napa I don't know

Even though I won't call myself a food and wine expert, Napa is one of my favorite place to visit. Can't beat the atmosphere there! It has fun written all over. I read this article "The Napa You Don't Know" from AAA's magazine VIA. Turns out I've actually been to most of the places(wineries and shops) mentioned except the Gatehouse Gallery houses. The reviews are mixed though. As a cyclist, I do wanna check out the Clif bar founders related places, like the Velo Vino tasting room and food truck.

Changes in San Jose Downtown

I wrote about a new venue/bar called Forager in San Jose on my other blog. That space was huge and I was very curious what it used to be. Turns out it was the South First Billiards. Now I could visualize how the pool table fits in that space. From another news article back in 2015 I learned that there was actually a "wave" of moving out of that area because of the violence. Not sure if there was much improvement in that regard but new businesses seem to have moved back in. Another example was the nearby Agenda lounge. Now it's the Avery lounge (not sure if related)
