1:50 AM Last night i accidentally ran into yet another semantic coincidence. The name Walmart, like Washington and Walgreens, starts with the syllable Wa, which has an important meanings in Japanese language. One of them is harmony, people working together to achieve the same goal. One of them is the name of Japan itself.
Hierarchy over individualism is always a sign of totalitarism. (Even if it's consensual).
The term has a long history, was first used by the Chinese to designate the Japanese people. In time it has evolved into what it is now. It is not clear to me yet if Japanese wa precedes other forms or social harmony like Soviet Union or communist China.The coincidence is the Walmart logo, which seems to represent a Sun with rays, Sun being the national symbol of Japan, coming from the Shinto main Sun Goddess Amaterasu.
Besides Washington which seems to coincide with the Japanese syntagm Wa Shinto (Harmony in Shinto) we can also find the katakana wa embedded in Tesla's logo or on the side of some Ford Trucks.
10:30 PM There was a drawing at Spirit Mountain last night but the trip there... Later. A while ago i soldered two screws on battery poles. For that, i have to bring the battery inside and do a whole procedure which lasts about an hour (and makes some rosin smell). That decreases the battery contact resistance, allowing for a better filtration of the pulsating DC coming from the alternator.
My guess is it happened after i said i was alternating beer, brandy and wine one night. Voltage was diminished by .1 volts at my charged with digital voltmeter. When i tried to tighten both contacts, one broke because the soldering was weakened. I looked and i saw the soldering was occupying 90% of the surface of the pole. How could that have happened?
The car now runs only on its own stock contacts. The difference in mileage with the extra contacts is about 5-10% and of course emissions.
The coolant leak is back again, in the same spot, i am missing a quart of a quart of coolant.
The truck in the next spot is still here, so probably the young couple.
Angela was very irritated tonight like i was yesterday. When we passed at Eaton (On Tualatin Sherwood) i saw there is still construction. On and off, it has been so for the last year. So a large area of Tualatin Sherwood where she passes every day, it looks like they work on low budge do add an extra lane or sidewalk, two new huge buildings (data centers, maybe?) for years now.
Fine concrete dust is present. She is wearing a mask but that does not prevents dust falling on her skin.
Glass dust was used by police in Medieval Japan as deterrent against criminals. Concrete has sand in its composition which is made of silica. 10:45 Last mention of soldering bolts on top of battery poles.
They upstairs started to manifest, at 10:47.
Yes my eyes hurt after driving the car. It is probably due to coolant leak, on top of all the dust i swallowed today at the apartment. But i know and try to keep cool.
Recently Pope Francis said "it takes an eternity to learn Magyar (Hungarian language). (How did he know?)
How about Japanese? From what i've seen so far. There is no gender. There is no plural. Words are pronounced differently that how are written, according to context. There are three different writing systems.
Let's take an example. If i copy the name from the Wikipedia page and paste it in Google Translate and hit the pronunciation button, i get something totally different then what i see in Latin transliteration.
However if i ask google about katakana (another one of the three writing systems of Japanese) spelling of the name i do see a wa (katakana spelling) (和, hiragana spelling) at the end in there. And this was just an example.
I think everybody figured where i'm getting at. Tokugawa is the name of the Shogun dynasty that unified Japan (after the battle of Sekigahara) and ruled it for 264 years. There were no more feudal wars between the daimyo (feudal lords) and the samurai cat lost its jobs.
But it wasn't until the so called Meiji restoration when the Emperor was brought back (with the help of a ninja, like all Tokugawa dynasty) so they could have some legitimacy to finally abolish the samurai cast and start the westernization of Japan.
Do you all think this could be wa (harmony), a peace period called Edo or Tokyo peace period that lasted in Japan 270 years?
My theory is the ninja or maybe something greater then ninja like some Buddhist sect did not stop with pacifying Japan, after pulling the strings they had on daimio and started "the battle to end of battles" first as WWI and then WWII, creation of Soviet Union.
But before that. Participation in the creation of the United States. Independence war. Civil war. Shamash. Amaterasu. Statue of Liberty. Wa Shinto. Washington architecture, etc..
Question. Is the woman in the video Yoko Ono?
