Where things can happen.Tonight we went to Little Creek which now i realize how small it actually is. Many things happened in there showing the occupants were not casual but all actors and extras.

As soon as i got inside i saw at a machine a guy who looked like Klaus Iohannis, the President of Romania who just finished a long unannounced trip in several African countries and i think he said he was headed for 2 more days in Dubai at a climate conference.
With a wig showing maybe 4 inches more of (gray) hair and maybe a little makeup addition at the nose.
Yeah i know. He only came to take the credit for what followed. His wig would have been edited out on post processing. Since that didn't happen he can always pretend he wasn't there and they will start posting pictures with Napoleon again.
Then it went uneventful. In all three Casinos we went this holiday and weekend more than half of the people were plain Asians. Not acting Latinos or anything.
We made our money back but didn't know where to stop and then lost 200 bucks in total.
Just before we left i went to the restroom and they were two more guys visible, maybe more in the cubicles. One of them was making a weird rhythmic noise like panting but slowly.
When coming back at 105 miles left to go, 11:10 i was driving in the speed lane at close to 80 in a 70 limit. A very tall black van or RV started to approach from behind.
With only one headlight in the fog was hard to appreciate the distance looking in the mirror in night position, however it had visible parking lights so when it came too close i started to accelerate and it started to accelerate and i started to honk until i reached close to 100 maybe and then he started to fall behind.
Temperature was 32 degrees, i saw frost when i left, i was afraid to drive at that speed and tried to go on lane right out of his way. However there was a tan car in my blind spot that was matching with my speed. So i accelerated again until i cleared that one, switched lanes, he slowed down a bit, i also slowed down and he started to pass me from the right on an exit lane.
But right before the exit lane was separating and after he passed me he changed his mind and wanted to go back in my lane, on a collision course. So i went back in the lane with the black RV which in the meantime has passed me and then the tan car switched again into the exit lane crossing two continues lines and exited in the last moment.
For a while i tried to follow the big RV, it had Washington or California LP with 7 small letters, unlike Oregon ones with 6. But he now was doing more than 15 over the speed limit that changed from 70 to 60 and Angela would not let me match the speed and i fell behind and the guy disappeared in the fog and probably exited at first exit.
About 40-50 miles and less than an hour later, i met with again some debris on the road, maybe a board 2 inches tall but it was in the middle of the lane.
At least one more similar thing happened later but can't remember right now, maybe tomorrow. Ok i had to go to a restroom and i went to a rest area and got confused in the dark. First i went to cars area, but did not recognize it, went to trucks and then back to cars.
A ok i remember. When i left the rest area a truck with many red lights on it in the right lane distracted me while i passed a car that was parked on the side of the ramp though there was plenty of spots in the parking. I was telling Angela, that level of synchronization can happen only if that truck with guided with AI.

May 8th
12:36 I'm wasted. Been all day. I would cover one hole, another one would pop up. I just went outside and stepped on two that are very close to the "wall" but did not put borax in those. I also believe i put borax in one of those earlier anyways. There is an SUV idling by the mailboxes. We ran late afternoon at Ilani.
Cannot describe what i saw in there. They did everything they could tonight. Saw at least one person from the news, in the parking lot.
Could have been more inside, but i got drunk in the car before i went in there. Angela lost some of her yesterday's gain.
But on our way back home. I was on the left lane just before the bridge after i passed one truck that was in the middle lane then i tried to move myself in the middle lane in front of it because it's safer on the three lane bridge with one ft shoulder.
I saw a faint shadow in the right mirror and i hesitated and that was my luck. There was this crazy hiding behind me, could have been a white Toyota Solara possibly with no headlights on that went in front of the truck where i wanted to go passing me on the right. Then he went zigzagging among other cars and took the first exit.
Going down just before 84 exit. A Radio Cab and one car in front that both took the exit slowed down, the driver having the foot on the brakes on the slope anyways and taillights didn't show a difference. Had to slow from 65 to 45 downhill on the wet asphalt. Could have changed lanes, if i couldn't slow. More just before Terwilliger curves, some guy passed me on the right touching the line, etc..
Yesterday going to Spirit Mt.. There was this huge tan SUV in front of me. Before McMinville (yes, the UFO city) a guy coming from 223 merged on 99 and then went straight into my lane coming from the opposite direction. It wasn't that he missed last part of the curve. He cleared the curve and then veered into my lane. The huge SUV veered right, but still in the lane and avoided it and i did the same and i still had room in the lane and then ample shoulder to maneuver but he went back into his lane. But now that i think. He could not have fallen asleep in that point after merging if he made that curve. Not right away after a rather complicated maneuver.

1:07 They always tax us severely at Spirit Mountain, which is closest. The reason. To drive more, especially on freeways. Where things can happen.
Tonight we went to Little Creek which now i realize how small it actually is. Many things happened in there showing the occupants were not casual but all actors and extras. I saw a woman who was clearly a famous model, though i could not see her face. Nobody was in a good mood tonight there. So we went to Red Winds. Ok when i left i saw a helicopter flying above in that very remote area.

I don't care if they will show a hi-res group pictures with all the world leaders. They are all actors.
Then it went uneventful. Except a couple of Asian guys, a man and a woman bent like bowing to the ground this time facing me, picking a coin from the floor. In all three Casinos we went this holiday and weekend more than half of the people were plain Asians. Not acting Latinos or anything.

The Cleaning Lady
Last night. Should check with google maps, can't remember where i stopped at a gas station and went at the convenience store. It was right across a Love's truck stop (every time i see that logo on the side of a freeway can't stop asking myself about choosing of that name. Where, are they totally out of their minds?) so i crossed back on the other side of the freeway where there was a McDonalds and a gas station i think Chevron and a convenience store. I was dead tired, from drinking and playing all night (got a net plus of 100 dollars) went and when i opened the door at that convenience store, an Asian woman popped from behind the door, kinda scaring me so i didn't look at her face. Then after that awkward moment i asked her if i could use the bathroom. I think noticed another woman mopping the floor at some distance. When i got back out i went and took 3 glazeless donuts (i asked her, but she said, self service), that BTW, were undercooked, which is actually good for my diabetes and the woman with the mop which now i think it was her came at the counter (couldn't figure if she washed her hands) and touched by bag with donuts, not believing me when i said they were three. (No i didn't touch any donut but the bags where kinda stuck together, pretty much like the paper cups at the casinos). I washed my hands in the bathroom however i'm afraid to use soap pumps that aren't automatic, after, about a year ago, got to wash my hands at Ilani with something i think was s...m.
Right after i got back on the freeway a Police SUV, speeding without flashing lights or siren came from behind, wiped my rear end and passed me with like 100 mph exactly when i was ready to switch lanes or even merge (can't remember exactly).
I could probably spend all day telling stories about last night. So i will stop at the last major one (maybe i will come with more of the really scary ones). A few minutes before getting back home, there was this Mercedes pushing me from behind (enough to seay, all other drivers and cars i saw during my 300 miles trip where not the normal people you would expect in traffic, but extras in self driving cars with all kinda symbolic LPN, brands, colors, Tule coffins, bicycles, and stunt drivers).
I didn't wanna go over 65 and went from left to middle lane. One more minute after and/or one minute before i exited, at the apex of my exhaustion i saw the guy with the Mercedes doing a wide and quick maneuver, going on shoulder to avoid an aluminum frame window, the type we have at the apartment that was laying on the right side of his lane.

She was here at the complex in 2019 around the launching of her bid on. Post is hard to read, i reckon, i was high and beyond all the time. Wait a minute, just figured something out, COVID started right after.
Last night when i got on I5 from 510 there was this Police SUV doing 100 without flashing lights or siren that wiped my rear when i was about to merge or change to middle lane. I saw it in the last second and avoided an accident.
Last night lots of people passed me speeding on the right, when i was doing only 10 about speed limit. Again lots of people blinding with broken headlights, high beam, matching speed to blind me on the left mirror, etc.. Minutes before i got home there was a white Mercedes tailgating for some time that didn't want to pass me on the right. I finally decided to get out of his way, at first attempt an SUV came speeding into the next lane so i couldn't, and seconds later after i went in the middle lane and he passed me i saw him doing a wide, quick and quite professional maneuver, going on the shoulder to avoid this this aluminum framed window sitting on the right side of the left lane, the kind we have at the apartment. That was on the last minute of my 300 miles trip, at the peak of my exhaustion.

The Skeletons and the Rule of Law
Woke up this morning thinking. The world is a hierarchy of persons, not an abstract group of anonymous people people governed by laws.
Sometimes though the guys higher on the hierarchy use laws from their position to oppress others. In other words, they choose when and if to enforce laws.
Last night after 7 when driving towards Spirit Mountain, i used car's visor to obstruct view from the opposite lane. There are too many people, maybe 75% driving with modified headlights (low beams up to 5 times more intense than others) and/or "forgetting" to turn high beam off. So with that visor lowered and tilted on a side i don't see the other lane, no big deal. I see only the right lane with one eye only. Much better then being completely blinded or close eyes when those monsters come around. Some, when i flash them, turn on the high beam, "to show me that was the low beam" but there is not much difference. Then when they pass i move my head in a different position so i can see the whole road. However. When i was close to my destination (accidents happen mostly at the beginning and end of trips) in the last big curve towards left, when road narrows to one lane, when i could not see much ahead because of the visor, i had a feeling something was about to happen. So i moved my head to see further, despite the blinding lights from a long row of cars coming from the other way only to see a guy who choose to break from the raw, drive a bit on my lane towards us of course then take a left on a side road. I hit the brakes hard enough for Angela to jump move from her sit (with the belt on of course) to avoid a head on crash.

I hit the brakes hard enough for Angela to jump move from her sit (with the belt on of course) to avoid a head on crash.
At around 1:30 when we came back, after loosing another 200 bucks, or when i was about to get better and deflate (simply from extracting myself from the influence of many people performing a ritual) a State Patrol Car merged i think at Sheridan right behind us. Angela was driving cause i was sick when we left (about to faint). In the cabin we had an open bottle of Tequila from which we didn't drink for about 5-6 hours. I was too sick to put it in the trunk when we left and we were in a hurry.
How did i get sick. As i said, 2 days ago i washed again the fridge under and a white residue came in the blue basin i used to rinse my rag. Yesterday the fridge was smelling like a yeast. Just washed the pan again and there was still some white residue left on it. So i figure yesterday i got contaminated with that yeast and was full of gas. When i got at Spirit Mountain around 8 PM i saw a guy again bending to pick something from the floor and i think i saw a piece of his butt, but i'm not sure. He remained like that for half minute or so. Don't know exactly how it's done, i think they choose the moment somehow. Like when i was relaxing after the drive and thinking what do do next. Then i went and played poker at 50 cents a hand for a long time (the return is high, around 99% and if you play by the book you can play an hour with 20 bucks, that is if you don't win a big hand to fulfill the return and then you can play indefinitely). But that poker machine was under an AC vent and because of the cold outside, maybe to save money, the temperature was way under 70. A whole bunch of people started to pass by that machine, going wherever. Could that had contributed to me bloating to the point i could not breath and my heart did not have room to expand and fill with blood (the "make it stop" syndrome).
Many things happened in there. As we, i, were moving from one machine to another, there were people turning to watch the back of those who couldn't see us. Some people where just sitting on chairs, watching others' back. In places, people were coming from around a corner and squeezing between us and a whole bunch of people who couldn't see us when passing by. In other words, protecting each other's back. But everything seem harmonized, like the movement of those people was coordinated by AI, like on a giant chess table. At some point Angela was playing next to a... blind guy, with a white dog. Still trying to figure what a blind guy can do in a casino with slot machines. He was with someone though, maybe she was playing for him.
Finally when we left i saw a guy flashing a black T-shirt with two white skeletons on it. One of the skeleton grabbed and removed the spine of the other and was yelling: I got your back!
Angela does not have much experience anymore in driving at high speed (she drives for years only at work on known routes, she got better later though) and at night. So i set the cruise control for her at a bit under 55 and so we went. All she had to do was turning on and off the high beam, the only problem she was not used to. The two widely separated lights from that Police Dodge behind us (cops' cars are wider than most others, for stability). Waiting for Angela to make the slightest mistake (like maybe touching the lines or speeding).
At some point, like usually in the last few years, a guy came from the opposite direction with high beams on and didn't turn it off. But the cop didn't care, he was at constant speed behind us. At another moment, the cop fell behind, maybe a quart of a mile when Angela forgot (did it but very close) to turn her high beam on. Finally at McMinville where the variant starts or after following us 11 miles he went the other way and my (blood) pressure started to get again back to normal.
Beside thinking, i woke up this morning with a back pain and paralysis like feeling which started to go away after i washed again the pan of the fridge. I put an electric pad on the backrest of the chair, trying to reverse the cold i caught at my spine from that AC vent.
As i was finishing this, somebody started to walk upstairs, flush toilet, etc.. though there is no car in the spot at F6. Figure. I'm writing about skeletons. Double or nothing.
And yes, 32 is the number of vertebrae in our spine or teeth in our mouth.

Red Light District
I once joked on a forum or don't know where. (This time i won't bring in here a link to document everything that i'm saying. It's so tedious and idea wrecking. Once because while i'm working to retrieve it i loose momentum and second whoever follows it might loose it as well. Maybe i gained enough credit to just write things without cross-referencing with a link everything).
December 1st. The first day after the stickers expire on the Nissan. Got it in November 99, there are 16 years and the car is a 93. November, odd years, time to renew.
So what's the joke. Can't remember, i boil with frustration. Oh. The title.
Red light district is where red light cameras are? Ha ha ha... Beaverton is full of them. There are some... is that Tualatin or Sherwood, the one i just passed today FOUR times?
The envelope was there on Angela's desk and first thing i remembered in the morning was to go to DMV with the old piece of... No i shouldn't be talking like that. Cause recently i just rediscovered what a engineering marvel it is... (That motivated me to find what the problem was with the Chevy from the beginning...) Though with the paint worn-out and painted over and with a spray can every year and a missing motor mount and still a tire vibrating after replacing all the tires, water leaking inside from the rear windshield and oil pouring on the exhaust...
Yes i should have bought a new used car before i started with the repairs this year... First radiator was leaking at the upper joint between the plastic frame and the metal serpentine... Then motor mounts, driveaxles and yes, the distributor, coil, plugs and wires, the full she-bang... 2000 bucks so far...
But right after it started running like in the beginning... 16 years ago when i first got it... With the exception of a noise when hitting bumps...
I had in mind a small adjustment on the TPS sensor... Last time i checked it it was .63 volts... Before that, weeks ago, when i finished with it and got thrilled by the results, almost 30 mpg on the freeway, it was adjusted by ear alone. Then i put it at .5. Then the mileage dropped to 20 and about a week ago i found it at .63. I remembered i read somewhere it should be between .45 and .55. So i put it at .48. But that was not as good as my adjustment by ear cause by the position of the gauge after 60 miles or so it was doing like 22 that was still low.
So this morning i got my meter and set it to .45. And i was feeling the difference in power and i already expect a close to ideal mileage.
Then i drove to DEQ. Straight on Tualatin Sherwood. I was looking for the camera. I saw it. It was green. I passed and kept my eyes on the light. Green. Positive. Noted.
The line at DEQ Sherwood was all the way to the street. Tried vainly to get some wi-fi on my phone just to not get bored in line. Got a HTC 510 that now is 100 bucks at Best Buy but was on sale for 50 when i got it. Not activated. Got a number from Google and i use it only when i got wi-fi, with Google Hangouts.
Got a fair signal from the nearby Walmart. Could use Google Maps but no hangouts. But while taping on the phone time passed quite fast and soon i got at the bay...
From the beginning, trouble. They were taking two cars at a time, each lane, two bays. Got in bay nr.2 at lane nr.1. Had to wait because... They could not do the test for my... year of car at bay 2. Didn't have an analyzer... (only a computer reader). Though at bay 2 lane 2 they had one, as i went later for a... volutary test. Cause i did not believe the results of the first.
Some truck on the bay nr.2 lane 2 was putting out bad smell and noise, covering my car. So i stopped the engine while waiting to pass at bay 1 to see if my car was smelling like that. It wasn't. So i started the engine again as i advanced. Finally got at bay 1 after they finnished with the car in front so they tested it.
It passed but the result were marginal.
Then more trouble inside. Cause i didn't have the insurance policy number (i couldn't remember Angela told me was in the glove compartment of the car). So i paid some 20 bucks only for the test and followed the technician's instruction and went to the DMV next intersection to pay for the rest and get the stickers. But there, after taking a number and coming back to DEQ to look for my small ATT phone with prepaid minutes, that was actually at home, the one i used to make call when i don't have wi-fi, i came back only to find out they could not pull my insurance number either.
So i went home. Again, holding my breath wile passing through the red light camera intersection (105 and Tualatin Sherwood i guess). Green all the way.
At home i finally called Angela and she told me the policy number was maybe in the glove compartment. Grabbed from there it and and tried to find a DMV where i could go without passing through a red light camera. It was on Monroe St, next to where i used to live in Lake Oswego. Only when i got there, a sign on the machine with numbers was saying they take only cash and checks. Hm. Who is using cash and checks these days besides DMV?
Couldn't talk to anybody and took a chance and went back to DMV in Sherwood, the one next to DEQ. And just before the red light camera intersection, Adele started singing [on the radio]. Then again i went through the same mental processes i do every time when i hear that song. And woke myself up on the other side of the red light camera intersection, with some cars in front of me and some after, not knowing what the color of the light was...
They didn't take cards either and then i went to DEQ again. But the only way they could get me stickers where only if i paid the 20 bucks for the test, again.
So i asked them to do a voluntary test again since i was there, planning to go to an ATM, withdraw 100 bucks and go and pay cash at the DMV, (in Oregon on cars made before 96 you can do as many free voluntary tests as you want) just to see if the first one was not manipulated. So they did, but then the printer... broke. And i asked them if there was an analyzer at bay 1 lane 1 and they didn't know what to tell me. And one more thing. Everywhere i go these days i talk to people that obviously are not Americans. I speculated for a long time what they might be but now i think i got the answer.
They told me though the result was slightly better than the first one.
Then the third guy came and since i wasn't going, then they fixed the printer and gave me a printout with some of the result at the limit and some worse then the first test at bay 2 lane 1 though still passing.
Then i came home and started thinking if i ran a red light camera or not the second time when i went to DMV on Tualatin Shwerood Hwy.
Not being able to get the answer i called DMV on the phone. But guess what. My voip Google Hangouts phone was working with big delays, not like usually when it was working similiarly with any 4G phone. Could harldy talk to them. Finally i got to talk to a guy who seem to understand what i'm saying and ask him about the following:
DMV has a "driver improvment program" that is based on the number of tickets including red light camera tickets. If you get 3 tickets within 18 months you're ok but if you get one more, you get a 1 months suspension or something like this.
Basically i was questioning the legality of red light tickets since they are sent in mail (like i got the last one) from some private company in Arizona that owns the cameras without an officer of one of the Police agencies in Oregon ever seeing it. Oregon laws says an officer of law has to have enough reasons to believe you committed an infraction BEFORE issuing a ticket which on red light cameras would be possible only if the cops would actually be somewhere in a room in front of a monitor and seeing the video stream in real time.
But this is not the case. No officer sees those because they are being mailed, as the stamp on the envelope says, directly from A PRIVATE COMPANY in Arizona.
Then i told the guy about defense. When you go in front of a judge and the cops stick a picture of you while passing though an intersection with the only witness (in that picture with your face the light is not even visible, the light is in a separate picture) a camera, you can't possibly defend yourself, since you cannot even remember the event, after one week of driving prior to receiving the letter and start trying frantically to remember how it happened. So how can you go and defend yourself in front of the judge if you cannot even remember what and how it happened?
That would not be the case if an officer actually pulls you over right away, when you have all in your immediate memory.
Or like me right now. I am in the situation of not being able to remember how i passed that intersection, because of Adele and some crazy DJs. Not weeks or days or even hours. I could not remember because i never new. I was just following the traffic, with others following me.
And one more thing. The hefty fines are designed with expenses of having cops on the street in mind. I once stood at an intersection with a red light camera just to see how many make the same mistake i did 2 times within a year or so. That is not fulling stopping before making a turn on red. 90% of the drivers made the same mistake. How much money and who are getting that money from this BUSINESS?
I think when the law was issued they did not have in mind red light cameras. Some inventive lawyers might have found what they think it is a loophole, but probably it would not stand if seriously challenged? By who? People who are tired from work or fixing cars or cleaning or writing blogs and pay just not to have more trouble and time wasted?
So here i went to the liquor store. Cheap brandy, used a card. The lady at the counter said something if my card had a chip cause they have to do it differently. Then i remembered. Liquor stores in Oregon are state owned also. How come they have card reading machines?
December 1st. The first day after the stickers expire on the Nissan. Got it in November 99, there are 16 years and the car is a 93. November, odd years, time to renew.
So what's the joke. Can't remember, i boil with frustration. Oh. The title.
Red light district is where red light cameras are? Ha ha ha... Beaverton is full of them. There are some... is that Tualatin or Sherwood, the one i just passed today FOUR times?
The envelope was there on Angela's desk and first thing i remembered in the morning was to go to DMV with the old piece of... No i shouldn't be talking like that. Cause recently i just rediscovered what a engineering marvel it is... (That motivated me to find what the problem was with the Chevy from the beginning...) Though with the paint worn-out and painted over and with a spray can every year and a missing motor mount and still a tire vibrating after replacing all the tires, water leaking inside from the rear windshield and oil pouring on the exhaust...
Yes i should have bought a new used car before i started with the repairs this year... First radiator was leaking at the upper joint between the plastic frame and the metal serpentine... Then motor mounts, driveaxles and yes, the distributor, coil, plugs and wires, the full she-bang... 2000 bucks so far...
But right after it started running like in the beginning... 16 years ago when i first got it... With the exception of a noise when hitting bumps...

June 18
12:14 China
12:14 I was feeling guilty for not being able to sleep in Reno and ruin Angela's vacation. Trying to compensate, i searched on the map for casinos closer to home and found a huge one near Seattle. Muckleshoot Casino, "biggest in Northwest" with 3000 machines, at about 169 miles from here. We decided to cut the distance in two and stop at Lucky Eagle.
I tightened the bolt at the manifold and got in the car. But on the freeway. Everybody was taking a pass at me. Literally. Passing on the right at high speed, but especially tailgating. How many times did i have to get out of the way of big SUVs coming from behind (now i'm afraid, after the accident) at speeds faster than speed limit +10. The usual congestion before the bridge. The same trend after i started the blog with similarities in 2018 only more intense every time. Newest, semis speeding and passing cars and other semis.
But once in the State of Washington. While getting closer to exit 88, i started to feel sick. Soon i discovered the source. I've been driving behind a "classic car" for many minutes, that finally exited. Then i discovered other vehicles, like a Chevy truck from 70s, others that i passed one by one. Last one was a Japanese driver. Fighting to stay alert and on the road during the last 20 miles because smoke was getting me dizzy.
Deja vu. Lately it always happens in the State of Washington. Every time i hope it will be the last time, but they never stop. Also tailgating drivers simulate they are just bad drivers, continuing to tailgate at less than half second distance the next driver after me getting out of the way. But they are simply too many for me to believe that, basically one after another. Many are leading a line of several tailgating drivers, pretending are pushed from behind. But lately most of them have tinted windows so i can't see who they are when they pass.
One guy with a silver BMW going only 1 or 2 mph more than the rest was shoving all the cars in his way.
Some five miles to destination me driving in the second lane i saw a State Patrol vehicle (i think, did not see the mark) on the shoulder, flashing red and blue lights behind a stopped one. So i tried to slow down though they were coming like a herd of raging buffaloes from behind. Slowed at 70 (the legal limit) and still breaking, a white vehicle i think a VW almost hit me with its rear left side while trying to get in front of me from the first lane "trying to clear the lane near the shoulder", in the last possible moment or maybe after.
Had to further hit the brakes and let him pass in front of me to avoid collision. I now believe that after they were tailgating all the way they were now trying to demonstrate on a State Patrol vehicle camera it was me i was tailgating. Then after he merged in front of me within a second or two another huge white SUV came from behind real fast as now i was now going under speed limit as per drivers' manual and i had to accelerate real hard to get away. At the wheel a driver which at first seem Latino, but when i looked better i thought he was Japanese as well.
They were few empty spots in the pretty big parking lot at Lucky Eagle. First one i found was near a huge red truck (symbolism, later it moved away and was replaced with a smaller bright red car). Like usually i had a couple of drinks in the car and went in the casino. There i saw this Indian looking guy, with round face and long black almost blue hair, parading.
Then i went back in the car, with the soda paper cup in my hands, poured some more rum in it (i love rum and cola) and suddenly got very sleepy, i think i went back in the casino, could not fight it and went back in the car and slept for two hours. The Zyrtec i said to myself, but i believe the exhaust from the road was a factor, from driving behind smoking vehicles most of the way. When i woke up i saw through the tinted windows him sitting in a car besides me and checking his phone. Later when Angela came, a girl like 14, emerged from the roof top.
Angela came in the car and i started to drive towards Muckleshoot. Same tailgating story, only on the narrower lanes in the (sub)urban maze in south Seattle. I was telling Angela. This looks like San Francisco or LA.
From the distance i saw the fireworks near the casino. After finding a spot, i parked and went inside. First machines at the entrance, the most boring kind. As we advanced, we found the good ones only at the "bottom of it". Too many machines of the same kind packed together and i never seen machines so greedy. In an hour or so Angela lost 200 bucks (i helped with 40) or all her money. The casino at first seemed full of Asians, later some white people showed, while we were in the last room and spent our last money.
The interesting part. There was a live band with i think with Chinese instrument players and an American maybe looking girl at vocals and they were playing a Romanian song. Could have been herself, i don't know, i only looked from a distance and i again had a few drinks in the car. Nevermind, the lead guitarist (bottom right) only looks Chinese.
So we got cleaned and left in a couple hour or so. Direction. Red Winds, some 39 miles away, south from Seattle. Outside the fireworks were still on, more than one hour after we came. At Red Winds, i was so tired i could barely walk and barely speak in any language when Angela won a 1250 jackpot at a "Black Diamonds" game.
Amounts over 1000 have to be taxed and payed by an attendant but it took him more than half hour to come with the money. I started to get worried and tried to start the phone to take a picture and i realized the phone was just starting by itself in my pocket, but the unused phone malfunctioned (could not bring up the camera app). So i went in the car to grab the camera.
Outside i saw two Nisqually Police SUVs (and one car?) parked at the entrance. Got back with the camera, in the meantime Angela got her money (1060 after federal tax) and was fretting thinking she gave him only 20 dollars tip. She told me a woman came and asked her money "because she hit the jackpot" and she gave her 5 dollars. The win cover our losses for the "vacation". (But not the bitter taste).
Heading for the restroom and soda machine. While there with the soda cups in my hands the two cops passed, maybe like trying to warn me. Last time i was there i drank some coffee that tasted weird but now i don't believe anymore it had something in it. Could have been just very diluted coffee made with tap water. Though it's very easy to mess with it since the carafes with coffee which i think are not locked or something.
(The problem is here in the wall above the dryers vents around the corner. Especially when the fridge next to it starts it all start to stink like dog poop and of course the poops left outside, not so many lately).
So i checked again the nut at the exhaust, very little loose, we left and behind me of course a guy with one single headlight tailgating as i was not able to go past speed limit because of being so tired. At a certain moment i saw a second lane on the right, tried to veer off his way only to see a deer grazing next to it so i just hit the brakes and went back in the lane where i was. He slowed accordingly (good thing he didn't hit me). Since he continued, at the first "roundabout" which nowadays abound in the State of Washington, i went 360 degrees, like in a merry go round and let him pass.
On the freeway. Again when i entered a guy tailgating and one occupying the first lane where i wanted to merge though at 2 AM the highway was deserted. Many people entering exactly when us passing which seems so weird on a empty freeway.
People passing on the right, a long time (minutes), to exit faster (i always set my cruise control on speed limit +9). I told Angela to look for a rest area, we missed the first one. Found one on gps 39 miles away. Too far (my laptop is playing tricks with cursor jumping all over). So i pulled in the first exit with services after about 25 miles on the way and slept one hour in a parking lot next to a Chevron gas station.
Same hell after i re-started driving back home. The mileage was not stellar, around 39, because of tire pressure going from 39 psi at 80 degrees during my trip to Reno to 35 at 50. Voltage at the plug stayed 14.4. Here in Tualatin Angela went to deposit the money at the bank (to pay bills of course) and then we went at McDonalds we knew was open to get some breakfast. At the window a woman who looked again like Frankie Adams. The nut on the exhaust was loose a hair only. Got to finally find the inner strength and tight it to specs.
Slept four hours and wrote this in about 2.

(The problem is here in the wall above the dryers vents around the corner. Especially when the fridge next to it starts it all start to stink like dog poop and of course the poops left outside, not so many lately).
So i checked again the nut at the exhaust, very little loose, we left and behind me of course a guy with one single headlight tailgating as i was not able to go past speed limit because of being so tired. At a certain moment i saw a second lane on the right, tried to veer off his way only to see a deer grazing next to it so i just hit the brakes and went back in the lane where i was. He slowed accordingly (good thing he didn't hit me). Since he continued, at the first "roundabout" which nowadays abound in the State of Washington, i went 360 degrees, like in a merry go round and let him pass.
On the freeway. Again when i entered a guy tailgating and one occupying the first lane where i wanted to merge though at 2 AM the highway was deserted. Many people entering exactly when us passing which seems so weird on a empty freeway.
People passing on the right, a long time (minutes), to exit faster (i always set my cruise control on speed limit +9). I told Angela to look for a rest area, we missed the first one. Found one on gps 39 miles away. Too far (my laptop is playing tricks with cursor jumping all over). So i pulled in the first exit with services after about 25 miles on the way and slept one hour in a parking lot next to a Chevron gas station.
Same hell after i re-started driving back home. The mileage was not stellar, around 39, because of tire pressure going from 39 psi at 80 degrees during my trip to Reno to 35 at 50. Voltage at the plug stayed 14.4. Here in Tualatin Angela went to deposit the money at the bank (to pay bills of course) and then we went at McDonalds we knew was open to get some breakfast. At the window a woman who looked again like Frankie Adams. The nut on the exhaust was loose a hair only. Got to finally find the inner strength and tight it to specs.
Slept four hours and wrote this in about 2.

October 7
1:53 Just remembered something. When i walked over 2 miles to pick the car that i rented at Enterprise rent a car location, so i can have something to drive Angela at work while my truck is in the shop for alternator, possibly radiator, at @3:30 yesterday, i was on the right side of Tualatin Sherwood heading for the green light button and when i was exactly at the corner a big empty trailer took a right turn from Tualatin Sherwood to Teton kinda fast and his rear wheels briefly climbed, about one foot on the sidewalk, feet away from me, but now i know the lesson, i only walk on the outer side of the sidewalk. Until i brought camera app on my phone it was gone. Noise disturbances? A guy whith a big base in the trunk just drove by.
2:20 A modified exhaust.
2:52 Ran into a face that could again have been the cop last night.
3:20 Wouldn't have find her if i didn't look at this guy first... Tomorrow i will try a match, i'm too tired, got to wake up in two hours to drive Angela to work...
6:16 Slept two hours, coming back from Eaton. They switched back to 8 hours, 6 to 2:30, so there was some traffic. Almost got into 2 accidents with the rented car, (a 2019 Kia Forte with 40 k and water in the headlights), of course, when alone in the car, with no witness. Coming out of the back alley at Eaton on Avery, a big SUV or truck came from my right @ the curve real fast so i didn't see it at first, a car coming from opposite direction, still kinda far, so i just didn't go into the lane, staying in the middle of the road, both could have pass, however, they both stopped, while i got honked by the vehicle coming from the opposite. Further away, they were some cones on the right white band, a jogger dressed in dark clothes choose to pass those on my lane while i was kinda blinded by cars coming from the opposite so i just stopped and let him pass.
11:58 The Noongars (by expression of recessive genes - if i believed in DNA theory).
3:21 Coming from Eaton. I remember i once went for one day trip in Turkey, probably in 92 and for the first time i saw trucks carrying anything were covered. Probably the same in Europe. However this fashion never made it in the US. Though the trucks have covers, they never use it. Dust from all kinda materials, notably gravel, flies for the people in vehicles behind to breath (picture was taken during a stop). Though the trucks do have a cover, which in this case is rolled on top of the truck, they never use it.
As i got closer to home, at the hospital one guy in a black Prius came onto the road, simulating cutting in my way, made me brake real hard but he stopped in the middle lane. The whole thing was a weird recreation of what happened this morning when i left Eaton. They always do that, at the earliest opportunity.
Differences like night and day, the man in the truck coming from right this morning was speeding, i was not, this morning he came around a curve with no visibility for me, they were 3 cars involved, here i was in a line with many cars going real slow, here there was a middle lane, there it was not.
I call these type of "doubling" events "ingannare" which in Latin and Italian means deception and in Romanian mocking and i believe the word comes from "Noongars", an ancient people from Australia which probably were the ancestor of Huns (Hungarians) who invaded the Roman Empire in the 4th century AD though they "spared" Rome itself (saving it for later, which is around 1000 when they started to infiltrate the Catholic Church) and lived to this day in the area where Hungary is, their main occupation being exploiting the rich gold mines of Transylvania and infiltrating the whole world by replacing leaders, elite. Mongols, another wave, a branch of the last original migration wave that first wondered in Asia, coming late? Magyars, the last of them? Ninja of Japan?
By mocking a certain event they introduce confusion about it. It is one of their most powerful tools, which can effectively destroy information about the first event and create confusion to any casual observer.
4:44 This guy eludes me. Also because in the lists of their actors there are many of the same generation who look much alike, or like (half) brothers. A breeding program? After many searches during the last years got 6 of them who look close but he is none of them. They must have been real careful when choosing the guy, given the importance of the function, especially now during the "pandemic".
5:56 "No bigger than a golf ball", the guy at Enterprise said. Just discovered another barely visible dent about that size under driver's door handle, there are a couple more on the other side, done by grocery carts, opening door next to something. Caught them both on phone camera, at the site. Water in the left headlight, and some sort of film on the windshield that is visible only in sunset when it blinds you. At Fred Meyer, a brand new card wouldn't work with the chip, done it three times than striped it, at the Liquor store they tried the chip like 10 times, in the end it worked. They gave me the estimate for the truck, pending radiator arrival from Amazon which now had changed schedule from 6 to 7-12 of October. Which means i'm going to drive the rental through the weekend and next week or until radiator arrives. Though i'm soaked into car's deodorant, it smells like dog poo, i went outside, bumped into the lady with yellow coat. Got to go back to finish searching.
Also. Have you ever been ashamed of using things that you don't know how they work? Do you know variable valve timing is? How about VW TSI. Or GDI, used by many manufacturers. Do you know what timing is? Do you know what a crankshaft or even a piston is? A strut or even a ball bearing?
I am ashamed of having to use all these technologies bought by dealers from Japan or Germany. Mostly because i don't know how they work and i will never be able to contribute to designing or perfecting those.

September 9
1:15 Got home half hour ago. I saw the guy from apartment 4 descending the stairs with his dog. On purpose for me to see, who knows how many times he did it before that. And the dog could not wait and peed one meter away from the wall at the closet with the washer and drier.
I noticed when i last washed (two days ago) that when the closet gets heated by the drier dog smell comes from those walls. So i just put a small open bottle with vinegar next to the wall so the vinegar smell enters the (empty, filled with insulation) wall through the wall/floor gap before the smell does from the outside through cracks. But i think the wall already smells like dog pee.
BTW i lost count of how many people tried to get us into accidents tonight. Most obvious, one guy tried to hit from behind, i accelerated, he was 1 meter behind, moved in the other lane, he followed a bit but the speed got too big and he got back into his.
1:30 I am used to seeing a do not enter sign on the right or on both sides of the lane but never seen it only on the left. I went to the gas station in Rhododendron Oregon and all lanes were occupied except one and i turned around and saw a do not enter sign on the pumps themselves and i thought it was for the lane on my left. However while i was pumping the attendant came and asked me if i saw the sign. I told him i could not figure the sign was for both lanes.
BTW when it was obvious i done it or 5 minutes before i finished this the terrible terrible unstoppable squeaks upstairs stopped and somebody climbed down the stairs.
9:53 It's all part of the big 911 push. I hate all anniversaries, everything around me gets much busier and more dramatic than usual.
10:06 Now he came back and i can't find his age. George Rest Ivan. Bingo.
11:27 De câte ori în căutările mele dau de sculptorul asta mă întreb...
11:52 A double?
Pick at you...
1:10 I was 13 at the end of the 7th grade, about to turn 14 in a couple of weeks and i remember my mother gave me a fishing permit at the end of the year party with many parents in the class...
The physics teacher and class master of the finishing class organized some sort of party in the dark hallway of the old school... And because they didn't have too many boys (and girls, in the end we were all about ten persons) she called me and another boy but for some reason i remember being there along with a bunch of girls. We ate cake, drank some juice and danced...
3:12 I think the "Spanish" woman at Apt.4 upstairs is key or conductor or master ninja of the building. Right in the middle of it she can give signals or listen to any of the other apartments. At time she does the hard job of talking for hours on the phone in the balcony without listening, sometims after midnight (yeah in Spanish whatever).
I saw several times official cars of the county like from Social Services with Asian women in some sort of black uniform coming to visit her. When the emperror did the windows, after i thought the ordeal was over, she asked her kitchen window to be redone and made all last for one more week, etc..
For a number of years i think she was drying unwashed dog laundry blankets whatever in the drier, they were/are dog's hairs on the grid of the vent.
I once remember they were a couple living upstairs and there was so much dog hair in the vent's grid (the other one) it got clogged and the whole building heated up from the clogged drier, was smelling like burning electrical wires when i called PGE, however i figured it before they came and unclogged it and call them off.
The apartments upstairs communicate among them through the attic etc.. But i wish i knew who puts the burning pellets cartridges whatever in the moles' holes that got me high for years.

I can't believe they keep three pumps out of 12 for cars with gas caps on the right. Nobody has gas caps on the right, do they. What do you know. I think this is the station but the sign has been replaced recently with a regular red one. Never seen a do not enter sign inside a gas station. Never. I think it is all symbolism, waiting for me to get in the trap. The cones. That guy's butt. Look at how this image have been caught by google.
BTW when i came back i entered a long construction (asphalting) area with meanders and cones and stuff and when i almost cleared the last cones there was an orphaned cone in the middle of the lane and tried to avoid it but a car came at high speed probably passing, from behind me and could not get in front of it and hit the cone with the mirror.
2:02 It smells like dog pee in here and i'm afraid to go to sleep thinking they will wake me up right away or too soon in the morning.
2:20 Ok i took that bottle out of there.
7:37 Slept almost 5 hours. Got awakened by a noise maybe someone climbing the stairs. I saw the news in Romania, oh boy. I think she has been the one tormenting me from upstairs for the last month or so. Maybe him too.
Question is who is upstairs right now. I heard someone using the toilet last night before i fell asleep. Then i heard the signal. I think i said it before. All the people who had been upstairs over the years were generally quiet until someone knocked on their walls from the apartment next to theirs, and then and only then they were starting their job. Last night i heard several knocks on the wall however nothing moved upstairs.
7:52 Can't wait to finish my last match. Until then, a preview... Found him by chance before i left yesterday yes while searching for Mr. Tiktok. Probably the reason why so many attempts on the roads...
He does not have a bigger head. That on top of his head is his hair.
9:47 When was i, what i was doing when the Morocco eq hit yesterday. I was finishing (re-adjusting crop scale) the similarity with Mr.Tiktok.

I think she was the only teacher i had that had an idea of what she was teaching...
One of them was dressed in a blue dress and she i think was of gypsy origin and we danced and she pulled me real close and i was ashamed but she kept pulling me... Nothing happened then or after, but later that summer she passed our house and kinda didn't wanna talk to me... Maybe because after that i danced with another girl in the same way?
And then there was this medical assistant who lived in the next house and she was boiling syringes in alcohol for hours with the open window next to where we were playing in the summer...

An Accident Waiting to Happen
After 6 hours of sleep i came at the computer to check the value of my car and briefly read the news. The guy upstairs started the TV so loud i can be hear from the alley. After i started to type he came above and started to squeak the floor
The loud TV makes it hard to concentrate and remember things. Last night around midnight i was driving on I5 towards Portland near exit 2. I was doing 60 on cruise control in a 60 (96km/h) area mainly because i had on right rear wheel a spare.
Earlier in that day i had a flat and the Les Schwab guy showed me that the rim of the tire from the flat was damaged beyond repair "from the previous installation" (done in the same shop) and i ordered 2 new tires for rear, which are 100k (Michelin). This model of Hyundai do not come with a spare but with a pump and a can of glue you attach to it and i found a spare that size in the junkyard from a Ford.
Suddenly i saw in the center mirror a couple of headlights coming at high speed and since i didn't know exactly what i had in that instant on my right in the blind spot, though i knew they were 3-4 cars around me, i stayed on my lane and all i could do was tell Angela "hold, this guy is gonna hit us" and probably hit the gas pedal to smoothen the impact which occurred within 2-3 seconds after i saw it first. I got sped up, the man was slowed down, i looked in the right mirror and at my right and pulled on the shoulder.
The guy switched in the left lane, they were 4-5 cars all around him on the empty freeway and he accelerated and was gone. A white pickup probably a Ford with off-road wheels.
I stayed and thought for about 5 minutes, last drink i had was before 7 PM, and called 911. The operator kept asking me if i was injured, with that noise of the freeway i thought she said insured and kept saying yes, finally switched me to another operator who sent the State Patrol.
Minutes were passing. One guy with an old SUV stopped and asked if i needed help. Wind was blowing from his direction and exhaust started to choke me. Then he finally left and two Washington State Patrol SUVs came. While i was talking to the cop, a sports car with modified exhaust zoomed at high speed on the right lane or next to us. One minute later a Police car followed. The cop said i should pull somewhere else, i told him why couldn't we go on the exit that was just ahead, and then we agreed to him driving first, me following and the other Patrol SUV was coming from behind.
I had some anxiety, forced myself to breath (on mouth) and kept coughing. I told the cops, it was from the dust at the apartment in the last few days. But impact could have raised some dust in the car as well. Thing is, i kept coughing.
I called our insurance, and from the start menu, i could not call a towing unless i file the claim for the accident first. Which is incredible, they kept me with the claim half hour on the phone, right after the accident before they sent a towing (Progressive). They didn't give me a phone number to call to check status of the towing, like Farmers had and towing didn't call within next 10 minutes so i just decided to drive not knowing if they will ever call. When i got back on the freeway, the towing finally called.
Was doing 55 in the right lane, one more episode, a Ryder rental van again came from behind, threatening, i pulled on the shoulder. So the cop was right. Then another guy passed me on the empty freeway with LPN MTZ. "Mai târziu" means Later in Romania.
It's been a constant harassment by all drivers on the freeway no exception on my way back home at night from Vancouver in the past few years, with license numbers letter combinations closed to KGB, cisterns, trucks with logos, high speed passes on right, left lanes and sometimes simultaneously, but tonight was special.
So i kept looking in the mirror for trucks, cause i figured the courageous ninja wouldn't hit me with another car which was true. Because i stopped a couple of times, my total mileage on the dashboard was 37.6 when i exited. One more thing. Earlier that day the warning light for airbags came on. So those would not have worked probably in a rollover or something like that.
I think car is fixable, Angela says price of cars have gone up these days, it needs a trunk lid, a bumper and some frame straightening. Now waiting for insurance to call. Or should i go online to see what's under "my account".
Several highlights for this post. Myth maintaining. Their maneuvers with their numerous actors and extras on the scene everywhere i go tried to create and maintain the gay myth and the KGB myth. This week was special because Monday is August 23, the day when ex King Michael of Romania led a coup against Marshal Antonescu, while the soviets where about to occupy Romania, many, including some Romanians, Hungarians and Japanese seeing him as a traitor. Forgotten today by the majority, some say it shortened WWII with at least 6 months and contributed to defeating of Germany and Japan by an alliance led by US which included Soviet Union.
Michaels' next to Mud Bay in Tualatin. Think of George Michael. Michael Caina. And my insurance contact on the claim page is named Salinas.
Catalytic, wheel stolen recently, 2 flats on the same tire, two cars smashed in the parking lot at Meridian, one a white Elantra, what could have been next.
Just looked on Progressive site under my account. Claim has been received and that's all. Last night she said something about texts on the phone, none so far.
On October 26 2012 a similar accident occured. A small but heavy built Nissan Z hit me from behind trying to push me in traffic at a yield sign in Lake Oswego (Yes, Country club Rd).
Just took a picture of the damage of the car again on daylight. The reason it looks like this and not worse is i had one of the car's wide aluminum wheels, fully inflated in the spare's compartment. This car does not come with a spare hough it has the compartment for it. However i found one at the junkyard (for a Ford) that fitted both as size and distance between bolts. Right now i had that spare on the car (right rear) and the regular wheel in that space, because the guys at Les Schwab told me i had some damage on the rim of the tire. Now they played the scene of the mad drunk driver who hit me from behind because i was slow whatever. But i am sure the writers of this scene knew i had the wheel there which protected the fuel tank. Sometimes they use these psychological traps, to make everything more interesting. To make people who really wanted me dead last night ever more mad because of my "legendary luck".

I was a little shocked, felt heat and a bit of pain in the back, jaws, now it's all gone, earlier and lately my shoulders are hurting, from inflammation in the esophagus from dust and bacterial infection that transmits in nearby tissues combined with some light exercise and work on car. Angela was a little shocked as well, she had a headache before it all started that didn't go away and only slept 3 hours. Kept talking about insurance and what to do with the car.
She was scheduled to work overtime today. Yeah i know we shouldn't have gone, there was a moment of indecision, but they were three days of litter dust (didn't happen or didn't happen at this scale for a long time) dust was still lingering after i fixed yesterday afternoon a few holes in the ceiling and i was curious about the last fix i've done at the car, with the adhesive on top of battery connector nuts which was holding, but in the meantime too much oil gathered in the intake, should try again to vacuum the intake etc. Lately i've been used to take a break from here and felt like it was the time.
We then won a few hands recovering most of what Angela lost and as usually she decided we should go home. Thinking. If someone wants to manipulate us with the machines, they can do it at their chosen time. I wasn't aware, in my mind, that she should have started Saturday at 4 AM so we left i don't know, 11:30 or something when we left.
When i came at the car i hit with my foot an orange lid from an saline enema bottle, like it's been used and left there, i have some of those at home, can't go without those, for a long time now, got some sort of sciatic paralysis of that area. Casually i bent and picked that thinking it might have come from my pocket when i grabbed the keys, then i thought it was impossible, never put those things in my pocket and then i regretted it and nervously tried to wipe it out with some toilet paper which i threw in a garbage can.
Like when we came, some weird maneuvers around us, with cars and people bullying us, and that was indeed more than usual, could have been a sign if i was capable to think. Few people realize how much exposure to this kind of dust, other pollutants can influence you, especially if moment is well chosen.
Car was still making the (lifter) noise at low speed and idling when i left, voltage at the cigarette lighter plug was 14.3, i guess my fix was holding, fuel mileage reading was better than average, 38.6 at the time of accident, round trip and driving in huge parking lot at Ilani included.
The cop stopped at 39 and H streets in Vancouver, not far from exit next to a property called G&G, in an area called Minehaha?! He gave me some paperwork to fill, car was driveable, but he said i should not drive since the car cannot take another hit like this, which might have been true, he said they got their contracting towing who might come faster than insurance (within 30 minutes in the contract), towing came soon but they said they won't go that far, which was only 22 miles though.

I had some anxiety, forced myself to breath (on mouth) and kept coughing. I told the cops, it was from the dust at the apartment in the last few days. But impact could have raised some dust in the car as well. Thing is, i kept coughing.
I called our insurance, and from the start menu, i could not call a towing unless i file the claim for the accident first. Which is incredible, they kept me with the claim half hour on the phone, right after the accident before they sent a towing (Progressive). They didn't give me a phone number to call to check status of the towing, like Farmers had and towing didn't call within next 10 minutes so i just decided to drive not knowing if they will ever call. When i got back on the freeway, the towing finally called.
Was doing 55 in the right lane, one more episode, a Ryder rental van again came from behind, threatening, i pulled on the shoulder. So the cop was right. Then another guy passed me on the empty freeway with LPN MTZ. "Mai târziu" means Later in Romania.
It's been a constant harassment by all drivers on the freeway no exception on my way back home at night from Vancouver in the past few years, with license numbers letter combinations closed to KGB, cisterns, trucks with logos, high speed passes on right, left lanes and sometimes simultaneously, but tonight was special.
So i kept looking in the mirror for trucks, cause i figured the courageous ninja wouldn't hit me with another car which was true. Because i stopped a couple of times, my total mileage on the dashboard was 37.6 when i exited. One more thing. Earlier that day the warning light for airbags came on. So those would not have worked probably in a rollover or something like that.
Cop never gave me a copy of his report, but now that i think, they can all pretend, including the driver who ran (that is a felony) that i was too slow and suddenly switched lanes drifting maybe, losing control of the car when he hit me which is not true, i was holding my lane pretty well. I know some would try to explain the accident by me driving slow, drifting maybe, and a guy speeding, maybe drunk, coming from behind. I will never forget those two headlights i saw in the mirror coming from behind straight at me.
All i can think is it was stupid, driving 40+40 miles on a spare on the freeway, after all that happened there in the past.

I think car is fixable, Angela says price of cars have gone up these days, it needs a trunk lid, a bumper and some frame straightening. Now waiting for insurance to call. Or should i go online to see what's under "my account".
Several highlights for this post. Myth maintaining. Their maneuvers with their numerous actors and extras on the scene everywhere i go tried to create and maintain the gay myth and the KGB myth. This week was special because Monday is August 23, the day when ex King Michael of Romania led a coup against Marshal Antonescu, while the soviets where about to occupy Romania, many, including some Romanians, Hungarians and Japanese seeing him as a traitor. Forgotten today by the majority, some say it shortened WWII with at least 6 months and contributed to defeating of Germany and Japan by an alliance led by US which included Soviet Union.
Michaels' next to Mud Bay in Tualatin. Think of George Michael. Michael Caina. And my insurance contact on the claim page is named Salinas.
Catalytic, wheel stolen recently, 2 flats on the same tire, two cars smashed in the parking lot at Meridian, one a white Elantra, what could have been next.
Just looked on Progressive site under my account. Claim has been received and that's all. Last night she said something about texts on the phone, none so far.
On October 26 2012 a similar accident occured. A small but heavy built Nissan Z hit me from behind trying to push me in traffic at a yield sign in Lake Oswego (Yes, Country club Rd).
Just took a picture of the damage of the car again on daylight. The reason it looks like this and not worse is i had one of the car's wide aluminum wheels, fully inflated in the spare's compartment. This car does not come with a spare hough it has the compartment for it. However i found one at the junkyard (for a Ford) that fitted both as size and distance between bolts. Right now i had that spare on the car (right rear) and the regular wheel in that space, because the guys at Les Schwab told me i had some damage on the rim of the tire. Now they played the scene of the mad drunk driver who hit me from behind because i was slow whatever. But i am sure the writers of this scene knew i had the wheel there which protected the fuel tank. Sometimes they use these psychological traps, to make everything more interesting. To make people who really wanted me dead last night ever more mad because of my "legendary luck".

June 26
9:30 Got awaken after 5 hours of sleep (same like the last two nights) around 8 by big noises (like a garbage truck though it's Monday) and then the woman next door was talking yelling on the phone for one hour (yes in Spanish though she is Japanese, i know ninja can do that. Learn foreign languages so well you wouldn't know).
I started to remember what i've done last night. Last passing area before Chevron on 26 when going west towards Mt Hood. There was this semi i was following for at least 15 minutes that was going uphill under speed limit though i think it was empty. Those guys even if the are well maintained, put a lot of carbon dioxide behind especially when going uphill, that usually makes me sleepy.
There were two more vehicles behind it. Those and myself started to pass the truck which went onto the right lane. However instead of slowing down it sped up like they usually do to maybe 65 or more. (Had 75 or when i last looked at speedometer while trying to pass it but was held by the other two).
I know when i started to pass my speed was about 65 with the shifter on automatic, at about 4500 rpm and probably in 4th gear. I don't know exactly why but the truck accelerated after those two guys ahead of me passed it and when passing area ended i was parallel with it and i continued to accelerate until i finally passed it too though it was ft behind me and flashing lights instead of slowing down and when i looked at the speedometer and i was doing 80, uphill.
I read on sites and forums last night that my car has a rpm soft limiter at 6000 rpm when you are in sequential mode, when it shifts gears down automatically (and you loose power when uphill of course) and one at 6500 when you are in automated mode, like i was, when it cuts power to the engine. If that had happened he would have hit me from behind for sure cause it was only ft behind me until i slowly accelerated to 90 and put some distance in between.
If i panicked when i saw it close behind and then flashing, and hit the gas pedal to the floor the car would have shifted back to 3rd, the rpm increasing maybe over 6500 at 90 and the engine would have stopped at that rpm.
How would a semi do 80 uphill, that is another question.
Have no idea what marks that truck had on it, but i'm sure it was caught on the cameras on the freeway and/or seen by other drivers. Or maybe he veered right towards Hood River before reaching the Government Camp area. It was all done intentionally, like so many times recently in all kind of situations, in cooperation with the two other drivers and these guys are criminals that should spend time behind bars.
Similar things happen to me in almost all my trips.
9:58 Saturday night after passing Newberg going east again i was going uphill at 65, passed one guy (a white SUV) that was slower in the right lane when i saw something crossing the street, from the left.
It would have taken too long to lift my foot from gas pedal and hit the breaks so i just veered left in the median lane trying to get behind it which i did, maybe except for its tail, don't know if the guy right and behind me hit it. Seconds later i realized by the white stripes on its back that imprinted on my retina that it was a skunk, the first time ever i saw one. It was pretty big, about the size of a raccoon, but faster.
I apologize for modifying the gear numbers so many times in this post, it was all based on guessing (can't see the gear you're in on the dashboard, only the letter D when in automatic).
12:00 This video shows 4500 rpm at 85 mph in 3rd but it's a different type of Elantra. However if you press on gas hard enough you can very easily downshift one ore two gears and reach 6500 when the the fuel to the engine is cut off. BTW this guy is crazy, he does 170 mph with a flat tire warning on the dashboard. I personally never went over 100 with any vehicle.
5:00 Christmass 2019 and 2020. It always happens around anniversaries and holidays. Today was my birthday.
6:30 Never new what steemit was until today when i was searching for his face.

BTW this guy is crazy, he does 170 mph with a flat tire warning on the dashboard. I personally never went over 100 with any vehicle.
12:37 I know what happened back in August 20 2021. The driver who hit me could have pretended i again lost engine power when accelerating over 6500 or whatever rpm, but in that night i was going with speed limit on cruise control on a flat or even a bit downhill area on I5 in 6th gear (fuel efficiency gear) per reason of driving with a spare (right rear).
Only when i saw him very close behind i might have tried to accelerate but it was too late as it would have taken several seconds to shift from 6th to let's say 2nd and even in the 2nd gear could still go faster than 60 which i was going when he hit me (that Elantra was 1.8 engine but was rated at the same 150 hp).
One more thing. The cop called a towing company that refused to tow us for reason of distance (22 miles, wondering why the cop wouldn't tell them on the phone, when he called them, where to). Could one of those two towing guys i talked to while the cop was skillfully recording it audio and video to have been actually the driver of the truck who hit me, pretending he didn't run after all. So i actually i might have talked without knowing, with thehelp complicity of the cop with my ex would be killer.
3:10 No i didn't. Only now i know what happened, a walk through the relatively clean air also cleared my mind. BTW when i left i poured some more vinegar in the old rusted dog feces contaminated pan under the new water heater and the child actors came and started to yell like swallowed whole by giant serpents. So they did when i passed the camp (the children camp in the park, less than one mile away from down town Tulatin and Martinazi street) they enact every summer.
The mods at the battery. In that day in August 2021 i had poured from days before some JB weld steel reinforced adhesive on top of the nuts of the connectors to prevent them from getting loose, not on the connectors themselves. In fact, during engine running the vehicle is powered by the alternator (and not the battery that acts only as a filter) of which connectors runs through a series of plates on the positive with the negative doubled directly on the body. There was adhesive on the nut of the plates too, but not on or between the contacting plates under.
In that night after the accident and pulling on a street nearby i was casually talking in front of the open hood to the second cop and the driver of the towing truck that refused towing, about those mods.
The current configuration has modifications too, only there is no adhesive involved but only a second system doubling the stock con_nec_tors, actually a redundancy with bypassing and an extra connection to the ground on the negative and again bypassing the stock connector to the plates on the positive, with bolts soldered on top of poles. It is true, i saw yesterday one of the battery poles was a little bent, i don't know why, there is no extra weight on it.
Besides i never had problems with it, on the opposite, it improved vehicle's operation by increasing driveability, mileage and decreasing vibration. I have digital a voltmeter inserted in one of the plugs. Never lost power in years of experimenting with those, then why in that day?
The taillights on every car are build to reflect light and they would have been very visible in the dark when lit with headlights from behind, even if i lost power which i didn't.
In fact on another recent occasion i used the horn as last defense against an attempt of being again hit from behind and the other driver fell back. Now i know why. Horn was showing i had electric power.
But if i accidentally (mis)maneuvered and hit the gas pedal to the floor and hit the 6500 rev limit in 1st gear uphill, it could have looked like i lost electric power. I'm wondering what would have happened if i was wounded in an accident near Mt.Hood, far away from any hospital and ambulance services.
August 23 was only 2 days away and in that day at Les Schwab in Lake Owego i was assisted by a Les Schwab employee that looked like a right wing minister from one of the numerous Iohannis governments, Dan Vilceanu. It is rumored Iohannis has ties with the extreme right in Romania. He told me the tire with the flat i had earlier that day before the accident was unfixable as per a previous defective installation (done at the same shop). He insisted he took the tire in the trunk, where i was hit in that night.
What happens is though they are doing symbolic gestures trying to take credit of what followed that night in front of their right wing audience while the others don't care.
I think it was on May 2020 when driving with the same car, the first day a casino ever opened (Little Creek) after pandemics closure, when i went over a wheel (whole wheel, not shredded tire) exactly in that area, in the middle of the lane. Thing is i did not panic and hit the brakes, the car would have lowered its front (nose dive) and hit it and it barely touched it with some part (cross member i think).
After, i pulled from freeway in the area where she was missing from (not knowing at the time) to check for damages under the car.
In that night at the casino i went to the car several times (to drink of course) and last time i sat in line behind a woman, not unattractive but looking vulnerable, thin and not tall, who kept telling everybody she lost her purse and kept getting out and back in line (for temperature checking) to get in, and she didn't know why. I saw her later in the casino talking with two cops, then why the search that kept going for days?
4:49 This 2019 Elantra is closer to mine. You can realize it's a decent car. As for style, Koreans have a sense for a an elegant minimalism, beating classical Japanese basic pragmatism though lately they all started to look the same.
I think the man was doing 110 on a German autobahn in 5th gear at 6500 rpm (minute 1:58) right before car automatically shifted to 6th. In the US you can see this road quality only on recently paved freeways. Never seen continuous or interrupted lines so straight though confusing at 3:00 due to construction work. Crooked lane lines get you tired, fast. Good thing they also keep you challenged (and alert).
This, at 4:00. They do this to me a lot, slower cars changing lanes when i'm about to pass them. Good thing they didn't do it when he was passing them going 120 mph (193 kmh). And a stinking classic that fills your cabin (and filter) with smoke for the next 5 minutes. I see they're universal.

November 20
4:30 At Lucky Eagle i went to the Main Street bar and asked for a double brandy (which i later shared with Angela) and poured it in my cup with soda. But the bartender gave me a plastic cup because they don't let people drink alcohol from paper cups. My paper cup which for a few seconds had the soda-brandy mixture in it remained there. But it was red and i didn't like it and i put it altogether in a white paper cup. Later i went to the other bar and asked again for a double brandy (i didn't have any with me in the trunk) and she gave me a triple of the same brand i usually drink which i didn't mix with soda and charged me accordingly. At a certain moment i thought a drop of rain fell in my brandy (i was inside) and threw about 1/3 of it in the garbage. So i had a total of 2 shots of brandy at maybe 8 PM and left at 2 AM.
Just before we left Angela was playing at her favorite machine next to a "Chinese" woman while i was having another cup of soda (drank a lot of that tonight). An Asian woman dressed in blue uniform came and took my cup mumbling something i didn't understand but it didn't have any alcohol in it, haven't been drinking alcohol in hours. The "Chinese" woman went to the restroom, left 850 dollars and a card inside the machine and asked Angela to watch it.
In the parking lot was smelling heavily like cow dung and when we left like coal smoke. At gas station there was a receipt for 5 gallons of gas that came together with mine for more than that (can't remember).
There was heavy smoke in the smoking area, brought some on our clothes, had some difficulty breathing (shortness of breath) but as we passed Terwilliger curves we met with a van with black luggage box on top that was putting a smell like unidentified animal dung that combined with the smell inside the car gave me palpitations (probably atrial fibrillation) that got worse when i got closer to home. I passed it at 70 but a few miles later when going downhill he passed me at high speed and the smell and fibrillation started again. On the radio they were playing You can call me Al with that ridiculous hu hu sound and reverted bass line.

I passed it at 70 but a few miles later when going downhill he passed me at high speed and the smell and fibrillation started again. On the radio they were playing You can call me Al with that ridiculous hu hu sound and reverted bass line.
10:41 Slept 5 ours, maybe. Woke up in smoke. Installed new brand of filters yesterday advertised as 0.1 microns but are the worst i ever had. Previous were unwoven electrostatic and much better. My monitor later showed 4 micrograms of 2.5 inside and 11 outside. Can't understand why 4 micrograms smells so much like smoke. I thought my heart was sort of vibrating after the first contraction. Like shaking the whole body. Again waiting for the rain next week to see if that's gonna fix anything.
I gathered my courage and listen with the stethoscope. I thought the second beat is kinda quiet when compared to the first. I once read somewhere that is normal in elderly but it's worse than last time i heard it. Went to sites and listened to atrial fibrillation sounds, nothing like it. Could have been like that last night when i came. However my blood pressure was so high i don't have the courage to write it here.
At a certain time in the casino i started the phone and read the news. Within the hour i had pains in my face, hands and all areas that were closer to the phone. Not as much as other times, i used only 4% of the phone's huge battery. And yes i had regular coffee when i left home.

Went outside, covered a number of mole holes but that was not it this time. Smoke is wildfire smoke. Part of the reason i have heart problems is i haven't been for walks in months because of smoke. Believe it or not i have an old unpowered treadmill that i bought at Walmart i guess for 100 bucks 15 years ago. I installed it and started to use it. Particulates in here are 3 times less than outside anyways. I'm gonna check my blood pressure later again.
However, two things. Noises again like flushing toilets every time i go to the bathroom. Which reminds me. Last time i went to the toilet at Lucky Eagle i used for some reason paper towels instead of regular toilet paper and it didn't flush (though the same one was working minutes earlier).
BTW last night (early morning) the passenger airbag sensor wasn't working again. I fiddled again with one of the connectors and made it work. Thinking about shortcutting the whole thing, making it work all the time even when there's no passenger. That car has been totaled twice already anyways.

Temperature when i left there was 26 degrees (-3 C). On the two lanes road to freeway i passed one guy that was going 10 under speed limit. But it took me too long to pass and i had to come back on the right lane on the continuous line. Within five minutes two vehicles passed me on high speed on continuous lane.
On the freeway i was staring in the mirror to see if that vehicle i saw earlier was still approaching. In that moment i touched the right line. No other cars were within one mile. Within a few minutes a Dodge resembling those of Police came and passed on the right at high speed while touching the line or even crossing in my lane. Instant justice in both cases? Except one all male drivers including of semis i saw last night where either Japanese or (poorly disguised) Mexican looking Japanese. Same in the casino.
One more thing i forgot to say about last night. I figured the steering problems (pulling left or right with any side slope due to road irregularities) come from the EPS (Electric Power Steering). The alternator connector was loose and after i tightened it is was steering much better.
Outside an engine is idling at high RPM for 10 minutes now. It just stopped before i had a chance to finish this entry.
11:50 Oricât de dureros ar fi. Da în România există o adevărată cultură a minciunii care este, a fost promovată timp de decenii de de media, politicieni și oamenii de cultură vizibilide pripas. Un mic exemplu recent. Impunitaea plagiatului care-și face și reclamă, aproape zilnic.
După multe generații de muncă intensivă ea acum a pătruns și în familie.
Vreți alte exemple? Păunescu, poezia Rugă pentru părinți (multe multe altele din cele 50 de volume pe care le-a scos din care probabil nu ai ce să alegi). Strofele se contrazic între ele, într-o strofă poetul se roagă pentru o întârzâiere, în alta pentru o grăbire cu referințe la reîncarnare.
Marea majoritate a lucrărilor literare sunt similare. Misoginia lui Eminescu, Sorescu, alții. Viața inversă la Blandiana. Corola lui Blaga îndeamnă la ignoranță și închiderea ochilor. Viața absentă a la Minulescu. Contradicții și îndemnuril la ipocrizie dar și multe alte păcate la tot pasul.

Da, nu am știut de toate astea pe vremea când am făcut traducerile din acești poeți prezente pe blog. Știam poeziile pe de rost dar niciodată nu le-am privit în felul acesta. Între timp am mai îmbătrânit și m-am mai deșteptat. Prea târziu pentru mine.
Toată cultura românească dar nu numai (nu există alte refugii) este virusată. O pot demonstra cu orice lucrare, aproape în orice paragraf. Nimic serios. Nimic care să urmărească o logică de la cap la coadă. Nimic care să construiască pe solidele idei ancestrale ale românilor care între timp au devenit o amețeală generală.

11:05 Today all day i kept wondering who who that black guy at the bar who gave me my first drink. Until i saw a show on ABC.
With thin lips indicating loss of collagen in his body, thinner face, he was unrecognizable to me. Especially after 2 hours driving 120 miles in hostile traffic with all kinda crazies or simulated crazies blinding me, and one drink of wine in the car.
I won't say much about it, but one word. Circus. Also need to emphasize, it happens all the time when people are about to pop in a show. They come around me the day or night before. As i told Angela, wouldn't have gone to that place if i wasn't under the influence of that smoke from outside all day Saturday morning.
I spent some time today at Angela's computer from where i type right now and was ok. She put her phone to charge next to me in the same place where she always does and i paid no attention to it. About one hour later i started to feel pain again in the right hip, right abdominal, hands, face. Then i checked and realized the phone was on.
Was thinking of buying of a more preformant device for checking microwaves (wi-fi, phone, etc..) but then i thought there's got to be some apps that does the same since the phone has a wi-fi microwave receiver. So i found the app but then i thought how the phone is going to measure its own emissions.
Anyways i used my microwave detector which i built myself with a ME type of volt-meter stripped of everything and a GHz diode which i never used on this phone (Motorolla e7 power with 5000 mAh battery). All passive, no amplifier, no nothing. One has too imagine how strong a radio microwave signal has to be to move the needle of an ME (magneto-electric) type meter with no amplifying. You could have bought one of these 20 years ago at Fry's for 7 bucks under the name "microwave leak detector". I believe a new brand appeared recently.
The thing would move a bit when close to microwave oven when working, especially empty, a bit less next to a phone (barely moving the needle). But today when i tried next to Angela's phone, it went off scale. Which means there's something wrong with our phones. Here i used my phone to film Angela's while starting it up with the voltmeter next to it. I think this is crazy. Phone has either been hacked and wi-fi has been turned to max or works over the max allowable by FCC.
The video played in drive only once, then i got an error message. I tried to film another one, shorter, it happened the same. If you want you can download it from drive and play it on your device.
By starting the phone twice, i feel now pain the known areas. But i think it affects my vision (everything went darker), my brain and probably my heart, after such a long exposure (got them since January this year). On top of that, the laptop.
