October 31

12:54 Ok every time i strain my brain like to remember a detail from a video (like toes moving while reading a book) a squeak and a stomp come from upstairs and the big problem is they are waking Angela in the process... And then i forget my line of thoughts.

13:00 Ok good thing i realized it's the next day so i can turn the page like Bob Seger. Got to take a break until it's quiet upstairs.

2:52 See what i'm talking about? An apartment like this in SF area should cost @3k a month and it has holes and irregularities in the 3/8 drywall "popcorn" ceiling. If you can pass a needle through only one of those it means it can release enough dust from the attic to make you sick in the short and long term. Those holes should be filled ASAP. But there are bigger spaces around the plugs.

BTW my fridge has started (its fan and compressor) and there's dust in the air and i remembered i didn't clean the bottom coil in a long time. It usually involves turning the fridge on a side and that needs a strong person.

I bet the intense indoor pollution with dust and bacteria from these old dwellings is the subconscious drive behind so many people choosing to give it all up and live in the streets in the US and SF.

9:13 The gasoline vapor from the puddles in the parking lot mutated the bacteria and mold in the attic and made me very sick. Yesterday afternoon i drank and ate like a pig and woke up so bloated with gas and diarrhea my diaphragm muscle raised and twisted the heart and i woke up with palpitation, chest discomfort, breathing problems, chest discomfort. Two 1200 mg charcoal caps helped me.

Right now i took a shower and the fan started automatically and pushed air through a leak in the space between ceiling and floor above and now i feel the insulation dust in my throat and nose and the sewage smell coming from the attic. Trying to pump ozone in there right now.

AQI site is getting better, now it shows a smoke situation near Mollala but also here in Tualatin which must be something local.

9:40 Amazing how the perceived smoke is so low when index is so high (Tualatin, 97) confirming my theory smoke was coming from holes in the ground near the building when it was several times more intense than right now.

Humidity will go up, pressure will go down, same old story and we'll have a week of rain. The surface winds going against the high altitude ones.

11:13 So damn beautiful, with an attitude!

2:17 Lunar calendar is based on moon's rotation around Earth and not on Earth's rotation around Sun. It is not aligned with the seasons, because it starts every year in a different day of the solar calendar.

Strangely enough the biggest Shinto festival in Japan, of which the greatest kami is Amaterasu, a Sun goddess, starts, in the 10th day of the 10th month every year of the lunar calendar.

But if the festival was to be dated with the Sun calendar, it would have been October 10 and November would have been Kamiarizuki.

During the festival it is said all the kami in Japan come to Izumo Taisha, leaving the rest of Japan with no kami.

4:00 Tick Talk


5:22 Right. Imagining her dressed in houmongi kimono, doing the quick little steps and kneeling on the tatami, bowing and offering sake.

6:25 I would think one could use a special corset to make her butt look lower but why would she do that?

To make herself unrecognizable especially with no wearing the usual face smoothing makeup and with face partially covered by a hat on streets filled with weird smoke that can make people dizzy.
