The Case of Surreal Portland TV "Anchors"

Anchors of our obsessions?

24 years ago in 95 or better said in the next two years they were to me the first references of American culture. But even back then, from the little i knew from movies, software business about American culture, it didn't seem right. Triumphalism in every insignificant whatever they choose to present to the people. Brevity in big problems. A slight accent which i thought must belong to real English spoken in the NW of the US. In a few words, a bit off, a bit weird. But after all, i was in Portland, the city of weird. And then tonight i figured. Anchor must be stand for... encore aka more on in English.

Can't remember how much i slept in the last 24 hours. Could be something like 16 hours. After i've been sick all morning i slept until 6 PM. Angela is lethargic too. I think it was the combination dust and bad brandy she bought from Tualatin Liquor store. I've been drinking that brand before and it wasn't like this. Must be the last batch.

For what i know the person or persons upstairs "work" now in the evening, after changing their schedule several times. So it wasn't them who made those terrible knocks that woke me several times. Together with the dust that came from some holes and cracks around the door in the bedroom. But i'm better now. I know i had high blood sugar in the last 24 hours by the color of my left leg.

Still feel some dust in my throat after this morning i sealed again the space between cabinet and wall on top of the fridge that has a fan under.

Per some subconscious motivation i woke with the idea that i must search for some of the local TV anchors and their possible correspondents in the parallel reality. Because Matt Zaffino was on the TV Angela was watching when i woke up, i started with him. This went pretty quick or about half hour.

Then Joe Donlon who left Portland in 2018.

Then i remembered something about Joe Donlon and his wife both looking like the victims of a shooting that occurred right after i posted the translation of a poem (guy on the right was shooter).

Andy Carson. I think i interacted with him having two different IDs back in 98.

Then it hit me. This morning at Walmart, there was this woman at customer service that was standing on a side, kinda supervising the other too, looking like something else. I mean, higher class, out of that place. Hair died black or with a wig, i could have not recognize her. Especially since i don't watch local news for a long time now. But now i think she was Tracy Barry. In order to find her in my list i first need her age and looking for her age, most difficult task of finding her. I could find the age of Matt, Donlon and next in line, Jeff Gianolla but no hers. Still digging. By now my general impression is all of them are, except for the black ones, but can't be sure on those too. Fake. Foreign actors. They look like they have a life of their own in Hungary. Which means they are seldom here. Probably most of the time they can "broadcast" their "news" and weather information from any studio in the world.

While i write this behind on the TV there's Jeopardy with Alex Trebek. All i can thing of. When this started actually? Maybe War of the Worlds Orson Welles show? How many decades of cross referenced lies mixed with real things? How much time lost on nothing?

While i keep searching for Tracy Barry, i found someone else


And i could probably go on like this for a day or two. Anybody cares to find out more?
