Why I'm not at Stern Grove on a SF Symphony Sunday

I was afraid there would be a conflict between the World Cup and the SF Symphony at Stern Grove, so I didn't reserve a table.  It turns out to be a day with no World Cup.  We'll go when Annie is here--the day before she leaves--to hear Roberto Roena (salsa) and Boogalo Assassins & Vieux Farka Toure (Mali?)
But here's what I'm doing instead as of 1:45

Making a note of worthy articles in Insight, the SF Chronicle political magazine--a whole section of op-ed pieces!  Why the Hobby Lobby case amounts to special dispensation  (Social Security taxes 1982--Amish had to pay them), Racial Discrimnation 1966 Piggie Park couldn't segregate on basis of bigoted  religious beliefs, and equal pay 1990--church couldn't say federal wage laws violated its free exercise of religion.

A former student, Erika, used the phrase "separation of church and hate,"which I like!

Debra J. Saunders has a funny title "Deporting oneself well."

France has to pay $9 billion to the US because it's handled the finances for Sudan and Iran during sanctions.

1:52 PM  Have to look up France paie les etats unis $9 billion
1:57 PM  Found this:

Impérialisme : La BNP rappelée à l'ordre par les États-Unis

Javier's fingers aren't going to like the article "When healers spread germs/Should hospitals ban handshakes?"

On Teacher Tenure--I haven't read this yet but will.  I've been reading Diane Ravitc's Reign of Error:  The Hoax of the Privatization Movement and the Danger to America's Public Schools.

Hobby Lobby=Oklahoma-based arts-and-crafts chain that won the legal fight for religious-based exemption from Obamacare requirement of ontraceptive coverage for workers.  2:04 PM  I'd been wondering why it's called Hobby Lobby

2:06--Javier's big writing of directions from Fremont to SF!  Club T-M, 2014.

2:11 PM  From July 4 op-ed piece to be continued

I don't think this is the kind of community-provided bench the SF Chronicle was talking about today in its article https://www.sfchronic...
