5:27 They tricked me.
This week dust was off the scale here. Intestinal inflammation and from there, everywhere in my body. Pain. They didn't come yesterday, due to holiday Monday so i had to wait one more day to hose it down. They didn't come today at the usual time and i thought they will not come at all so i went and hosed everything. I let the AC on and went to pick Angela. When i was exiting the complex, i saw them getting the mowers off the trailers. The dust came here, blown by the AC. Then i hosed everything one more time.
Two days ago i drizzled at night. There is little doubt in my mind they can control the weather. It drizzled just enough to wash the dust from the air. Everybody in Portland area knows. Then Dave Saleski came on TV to say, don't wash your car today cause tomorrow it's gonna be one more. No it wasn't.
Few people are aware how air gets inside the cabin. Me i was ignoring this for a long time. From the comfort of your chair you push a button and voila! You get fresh spring cherry blossom smell or autumn decaying leaves. Kidding. Mostly exhaust from other cars and dust. That because of the crappy stupid design of the cabin air intake. When i first came to US i wanted a car so badly i didn't care about. I bent my hood by forgetting it unlocked and driving more that 40 mph. That broke the contact at the seal. I was still ignoring it. That car was leaking oil at the valve cover gasket badly and that oil was getting on the engine, burning there and there was so much of it i was actually getting high if not hallucinating. Together with the broken radiator, where i was just adding coolant mixed with water.
Now that i know. I analyzed with my today's mind and all i can say is it is not acceptable. Just look at this picture representing air flow around the car. Cabin air intake is at the bottom of the windshield, between windshield and hood. Hood rests on a rubber seal that is supposed to stop anything that might be leaking or even dust settled in the engine compartment to get in the grill next to it. But too many times that seal breaks, bents or the rubber gets old and doesn't ensure contact, especially at vibrations. Besides cool things coming from engine compartment, the big problem is the dust that settles on the hood. High speed air flow due to motion of the vehicle washes that dust which gets inside. If the fan is stopped, some of the dust settles right past the grill, in those intake pipes, and when you start it, you get it all the same. I know most cars today have cabin filters, but those, besides being very permissive, nothing like the HEPA filters in our homes, (otherwise, being small, would clog right away and overload the DC fan), long maintenance intervals (30k) inevitably get contaminated and slowly release in time all the stuff they accumulated.
I saw one day a guy with a snorkel for air cabin intake. Back then i thought he was crazy, now i think that is the only way a car should go.
Nevermind, actually opened some of the search results. Those snorkels are for engine intake, to use in dusty areas. Engines of course are more precious than we.

7:40 Just raised from bed and crawled to the computer. Got it bad with my hip. I think inflammation due to dust (metsubushi) is a big part of it, rest could be bad posture due to psychosomatic influences, cold air from the cheap cold air blower some including me, use for AC. I was watching again Jeopardy. No i don't believe random and unrelated memory calls can do any good to you, associations is what could make sense of someone's memory and culture. (Why Jeopardy?).
Have you ever talked to someone on the phone and had the feeling that you could actually figure how he/she looks? Haven't watched TV in years, had no idea who the man was, but when i saw him today hosting the show i said to myself. That's it! It's him, the guy whom i talked to on the phone recently. This, other details and juicy real life (mine) true stories, most likely in a few days from now.

10:08 I wanted to go out for a walk. The moment i opened the door, the guy upstairs who is probably simulating watching a recorded match, yelled. Puta, mierda. He did that before many times, especially during European soccer championship, when i was posting something.
