Between Susanville and Reno and beyond. BTW Angela went to pick some fried chicken at Walmart in Susanville which is the last building in town. I been there in the lot for about half hour parked under a tree (for shadow) and one young woman with a big Ford pickup came right next to the car and we could not eat there because of her exhaust.
So we left and as soon as i put my first bite in my mouth they started to come from behind, threatening.
But my car, after i did the recent maintenance is in a better shape than ever. A wind hauling big SUV having 500 HP at 70 mph cannot accelerate as fast as my 150 hp much lighter low drag car. So i just put it in sequential mode, accelerated and left them behind cause they were several of them during the whole trip (maybe more than ten).
Many others were driving in front, under speed limits in no passing areas, riding the shoulder to raise dust.
Again last picture came first. From the hotel window, Tuscany tower 14 (out of 19) floor.
Closest to Reno. This guy, i think a Japanese with a glued curly hair and beard came way too close and too fast from behind. Got hout his way, let him pass, he switched lanes etc..
Similar
Correctional (penitentiary vehicle). Was doing more than 80, had to pull fast out of his way.
Riding shoulders, all of them in all directions. Like it was a conspiracy of ninja drivers on the road or something.
This guy was driving for miles and miles with 60 in a 65 area raising dust with his wide rear and smoking. Could not pass it in areas withe interrupting yellow lines because they were two close together.
That airbag warning light is comming on when temperature is high inside the car. That is a meat cooking thermometer i stuck in an AC vent.
The car has a coolant circuit with a weak spring clamp and leaks a bit of coolant. I added a collar type of clamp next to it and when it gets loose, the mpg goes low. Very hard to reach in the maze underhood.
So after i tightened that one in the second part of the trip , the mpg (and power) went up. I believe tiny bubbles of air get in the coolant fooling a sensor. Total for the trip of 38.5 but could have been much better if i did tight it right in Canyonville, but had to do it one more time.
This guy came at the intersection between 89 and... and i almost passed it but accelerated downhill and a car was coming dangerously from the opposite so i just drove for the next 30 minutes behind the behemoth with 30 mph going uphill leaving much exhaust for us to breath. It could have stopped right after that intersection, and let me pass but no, that was not his intent and purpose.
Never knew what those cisterns were and what were their intent and purpose but thought they were funny, every time i passed them and took a picture. A place called Truck something on I5 just before 89.
5:40 4:03 AM Sorry for the previous mistake. I actually had this match before, but at the time the other guy (the footballer) seemed a better match, because of the hair and i was doing it mostly for fun and/or pastime and the requirements were low.
There are a lot of important people in my comparison list they wanted to be all Attilas including Elvis, Zelenskyy, Bolojan, Dan, Lavrov, Musk, etc.. Attila rules!
10:40 I think i wrote this before, though briefly. Since there's gonna be a while until i reach that time period of my life in my recently started series of hopefully exhaustive autobiographic posts (i just started HS period), got to go through it, college and then first job at IMU in 1986.
Starting with the name itself, IMU, which is an acronym in Romanian for Întreprinderea de Mașini Unelte Bacău (Romanian Machine Tools Enterprise) which is pretty generic and personalized only with the name of the city (they were at that time more than 10 such "enterprises" in the whole of Romania, the pride of Ceaușescu, the heavy industry that cost Romania 7 years of hunger after Pacepa's defection and loss of low interest loans.
It was a heavy machine tools factory, had several thousands employees and when i came there from college (after the so called State repartition which was done by graduates choice in order of final grades) and i had some experience working with computers, one of my three projects for the final "state exam" was copying a Fortran program line by line from a book and make it run and some other earlier programs (apps).
The program (app) had about 2000 lines of code and all i had to do was enter them without mistake in the computer using a monitor and compile it.
While doing so i also had some exposure to some CAD (Computer Aided Design, PAC in Romanian, Proiectare Asistată de Calculator) activity that just started at the faculty.
I was probably the only engineer in that factory and the whole of Romania with such unique early exposure while the whole heavy industry started by Ceaușescu was dying due to lack of upgrades which were stopped due to lack of funds for further imports, like CAD and more sophisticated CNC machines.
All of those machine tools factory in Romania were under the coordination of a so call Machine Tools Central in Bucharest, and there was an older guy there with a funny name (Năsărâmmbă, which means joke in old Romanian) who has happy to see me wanting to do that and they moved me from CNC programming department to a newly form CAD department
They made me the boss there and asked me to recruit members and write some documentation so they can distribute a newer computer which was running with CRT terminals instead of punched card, and there started a war with the IT department who wanted that computer and this whole activity under their coordination.
But my direct boss was not the manager of the company but a guy on an intermediary position who looked like Ron L Hubbard, author of book Dianetics and the founder of Scientology who officially died that year. I remember at the beginning we were all crammed together in the same office.
The newly group formed was named (by me) SPAC (Sisteme de Proiectare Asistată de Calculator). Had no idea of Mr.Spock at the time).
The story is much longer but i will make it brief so i can come to the idea i had in mind when i started this entry.
While recruiting the team i asked for volunteers and a whole bunch of women came forward. I guess the guys did not want co come under my command, i was new and unexperienced, they had their pride, or afraid to fail, i don't know.
One of those women was Liliana, and i will not write here her last name but just first and middle. Liliana Sânziana.
There is in Romanian folk tradition a mid summer holiday called just like that. Sânziene. Which in English translates as Ferries and is usually celebrated on June 24 (while my birthday is June 26). I don't know much about it but from time to time she was coming at me and out of the blue started to to mysteriously smile and tell me, do you know my name is Sânziana?
Prefix Sân in this context is a contraction of the word Sfântul or Sfânta, very common in Romanian Christian mythology, pretty much the same as in San Francisco, probably from times before the f was added in the middle of the word for Saint, thus it must have come directly from Latin.
As for root ziana, it comes from the old Romanian word Zână which means ferry or deity (the word for god in old Romanian is zeu or dzau in folk language) which in turn comes from the name of Roman goddess Diana, which BTW evolved into Western Christianity in Saint Hubert, also protector of hunters, but it also reminds of the main book of Hubbard and Scientology, Dianetics.
What else i forgot to say? IMU pronounced like in Romanian, eemoo, rimes with one of the spelling of the name Ximu and that woman, officially of about my age, or 26 at the time, was looking exactly like her, Olivia and was actually 13 years older than me.
Strangely enough, she even did some work at the project she was assigned (design of technological path and machining times) by me though i did most important parts. But in the end i was told by the boss Ghivnici (pronounced Give nitch, Hubbard) to put that one aside most likely because was interfering with the established mafia starting with timing design department (normare) that was controlling the salaries in that company (they put more time for each operation and the workers were paid in number of parts, the reason IT department wanted to take that computer away from me).
Fake reporting of production in all areas, overpaying, hiring of relatives, technological stagnation were the reasons Romanian economy collapsed towards the end of Ceaușescu era. Some took personal advantage but i came too late at the party in 86 or three year before 89 revolutions. I assume all countries in the Soviet Bock including Soviet Union were in the same situation that arose due to lack of real competition, bureaucracy and state ownership of everything.
So yeah, it looks like "Hubbard" took elements from Hinduism (re-incarnation of Thetans), Sumerian (the golden star of Ishtar) Roman (Diana), Romanian (Sânziene) and western Christian mythology (Saint Hubert), Rosicrucianism (cross) and whatnot to create what he called Scientology.
I slept yesterday afternoon and evening, been up all night and slept 3 more hours this morning however i have some neurological symptoms, like my fingers were borrowed and not mine when i type here, like my head was not mine, an infected esophageal ulcer, others (did not drink at all yesterday). Could it be exposure to something coming from an exhaust during my trip yesterday from Florence to here.
Got to go outside to look for poops and/or mole holes near foundation.
12:00 PM Just found myself the next puzzle. Why the interest rates of US public debt changes constantly. A ok it's like credit card interests, only daily. However it affects heavily the stock market, as investors run from stocks to bonds and back all the time according to yields and other market driving factors.
10:10 It's been years since i was trying to formulate this idea in a short and comprehensive phrase but now i think i cam to some result.
"In a bipartisan political system, half of the voters must think the other half is wrong, right? They can't be both right in the same time. So half of them are wrong but question is, which?"
Let's ask AI about it before we go all mad or something.
That's what i thought. Democracy is not perfect. If you choose one side, you will always kiss goodbye some of the issues dear to your heart.
12:10 AM next day
Pentru noi românii de data asta răul cel mai mic a fost un profesorist. E un progres fiindcă precedentul a fost invers, cel mai mare.
5:05 AM Eu urmăresc Bugetul României din 2017 deci de 9 ani. Ieri am spus că se fură din Buget, și au făcut-o toate partidele la vremea lor, de cel puțin 10 ani, pentru că m-am gândit că așa a fost și în 2016, însă sumele deturnate erau mai mici și au crescut mereu până în zilele noastre, odată cu creșterea exponențială a datoriei externe, de la 75 miliarde euro în 2016 la 250 astăzi.
Însă în loc măcar să se folosească acești bani la ceva în România, a fost invers, banii s-au furat de la buget, de la ministerele mari, pentru a plăti dobânzi exorbitante "investitorilor". Deci practic au fost virați banii de dobânzi, căci nu se știe ce s-a făcut cu "principalul" adică sumele obținute pe titlurile de stat emise.
Am postat prima dată despre deturnarea bugetului pe fb în August 2021, iar la 2 săptămâni am avut un accident când un tip cu o camionetă uriașă m-a lovit din spate pe autostradă. Ministrul de Finanțe de atunci, Vîlceanu, a fost implicat, cu concursul firmei regionale Les Schwab.
Postarea nu a mai fost susținută de altele, am avut alte griji, de la a cumpăra o altă mașină, tot daună totală (după buget), de la o licitație și a o repara, acțiune ce continuă și în prezent fiindcă mașina a fost sabotată la greu. Jaful a continuat și s-a amplificat. Organizarea accidentului și-a dat roadele.
Azi au venit cu următoarele evenimente care să se plaseze pe cuvintele cheie din acel paragraf.
Eliberarea la 10 ani a lui Omor Hai s-am care fusese condamnat pentru terorism la 24 ani chiar pe 11 Septembrie (spre gloria lui Băsescu pe o înscenare cu jurnaliști răpiți), Ieri seară am văzut o persoană care arăta exact ca el când am fost să duc gunoiul la tomberon (apoi m-am culcat și am uitat să blochez ca de obicei ușa de la intrare, dar m-am trezit cam la jumătate de oră și am blocat-o).
Nu cred că Hayssam a fost la închisoare pe bune sau acela este numele lui, după cum nu cred că vreunul din VIP arestați de-a lungul timpului au fost pe acolo.
Declarațiile de presă ale lui Grindeanu, concepute pentru a mă contrazice. Numai ultimele luni au aruncat țara în faliment. Aluzii: Contabil de CAP. Însă nu România a în faliment ci doar Banca Națională, care are același "guvernator" de 35 de ani.
Dacă AUR și PSD doreau să colaboreze, o puteau face acum, prin suspendarea Președintelului care nu a reușit să propună un prim ministru acceptabil în 4 luni și organizarea de referendum pentru demitere și alegerea altui Președinte. Însă intenția este de a organiza anticipate pentru a da AUR controlul țării spre o posibilă dictatură.
Bolojan și-a bătut joc de România timp de mai mult de un an, pentru a crește (a dubla) AUR în sondaje iar acum PSD vorbește despre alegeri anticipate. Dacă ar fi alegeri anticipate, PSD ar pierde 4 procente. Nu este asta blat? Nu este asta același tip de teatru absurd care ni se servește începând din 90 când au venit minerii chemați de Președinte să atace pe bucureșteni?
11:25 Și au venit ei imediat cu un alt sondaj care să arate că PSD nu ar pierde procente la anticipate. Mă uitam la silueta rectilinie a știristei încercând să-mi imaginez cât de mult din picioare nu au încăput în poză și nu am zărit în dreapta sus (că mai există și) un Partid al lui Călin file din poveste? Ok un ipotetic partid al lui Georgescu (tot din cauza știristei nu m-am prins).
Care dacă se adaugă la SOS și AUR (iar mi se pare că m-am trezit dintr-un coșmar în alt coșmar, cu numele astea de partide în față) s-ar apropia de o majoritate absolută ce în curând ne păstorește paște?
Poate atunci Nicușor Dan s-ar îndura să-l desemneze pe Grindeanu Georgescu sau Simion Prim Ministru?
11:30 Aluzii... PNL Aripa Căzută Orban fâlfâie în cu totul direcție decât Aripa Ascuțită până la nori Bolojan. Nicușor Dan, un alian extraterestru care așteaptămothership-ul să vină să-l ia pe o rază de lumină?
1:05 PM Ok a venit și lickuriciul Băsescu să leviteze deasupra tuturor și să ne liniștească. Nu va fi AUR+POT+SOS+Georgescu adică extremiștii și suveraniștii, va fi AUR+PSD (care deocamdată nu se prea înțeleg).
Parcă vrea să spună: "Stați liniștiți ce dreq suntem și noi pe aici, avem biznisuri" "O luăm iar de la zero, 7 ani de foame pentru plata datoriei externe cu bani de la diaspora, îl împușcăm pe dictator, mergem la televiziune cu Dinescu, o plimbăm pe Ana Blandiana cu tab-ul (nu am impresia că aia era Doina Cornea)?".
Dar ce ne facem fără Iliescu? Ok Băsescu poate să-l înlocuiască pe Iliescu. Că numele lui tot se termină în escu, ca tot românul.
1:50 Houthinis hit again. Is that guy in white robe and a jacket holding a phone? Wondering what providers he has ha ha. More guys in bright white clean robes on the right. Is this a parade or a joke? (It cannot be a parade, see how funny that guy on the left walks)?
1:55 If it's Friday, it must be up, for good weekend sentiment of course.
9:00 Ok here comes the juicy one. I was driving southbound on I5 together with a bunch of outworld guys who were all been trying their look with me.
I was thinking this morning what are they gonna do next, and the only thing i could think of was they are going to plainly hit me.
Since after first exits in Salem traffic started to chill a little i asked Angela for a slice of that pizza i baked from frozen in the morning (yeah i am doing much better right now, after i fixed that exhaust leak i didn't know i had and the proof is after i got accustomed with the tiny keyboard now i can type fairly fast), and found myself driving with one hand only while passing a semi withs speed limit+10.
One guy in a black Honda at once came ft behind me and started to push. But he didn't hit me from behind as i was first expecting and then i accelerates and then i hit the brakes to make him slow down cause i was going way too fast, still on the left of that semi. But after i passed the truck, i pulled in that lane and let him pass, and could not see anything through his tinted windows.
But then i saw a finger next to that window while myself i was fingering him and for that i must have put the pizza aside but then i saw that window coming towards me and than the rear of his car entirely into my lane towards the front of my car as i maneuvered out of his way with less than 1/100 of a second to spare.
However at an autopsy they would have found undigested pizza in my stomach.
Then he moved back into his lane and when i pointed the phone to take a picture about 30 seconds later he went... on the left shoulder, trying to prove, i don't know, he was just crazy and not a self driving or robot targeting me? It was me i almost hit him because i was eating pizza?
And so i passed this September 11. Didn't i say all anniversaries are bad for me, because they always try to get me in synch with some event, so they can prove it was an act of god. Or goddess whatever.
Time stamp on the picture was 5:11 PM. He of course exited at first exit and then they were no more exits for many miles.
Last night i was watching Star Gate Atlantis, one Sci Fi series i haven't re-watched since i got Amazon, Netflix and Paramount, i forgot which episode, the one with the three Wraith ships getting closer, one was destroyed by the "satellite" and then Earth reinforcement came through the worm hole.
Yeah in normal Star Gate movies, they usually dial with 7 Chevrons to open a wormhole (like the number of digits in a regular US phone number without area code) at a certain address (BTW i believe this form of traveling is possible), in this one they need 8 for that intergalactic address. Like the number of rays of Scientology cross or Ishtar star or years for a complete Venus cycle. And then i had a smallrevelation which helped me go to sleep. Pegasus. Atlantis.
6:25 AM About 2-3 weeks ago i found an open hole in a wall in a corner of the living at about one ft from the ground. I have done it myself years ago when i squeezed baking soda inside the walls. Back then i temporarily put a cork in it but forgot to plug it with gypsum like i did with the others and he cork fell ("due to vibrations"). But it was somehow covered and out of sight behind some cardboard boxes and a storage bin full of old VCR tapes and CDs and i assume all that most of the terrible wall dust settled on the items and the box itself.
I took it away and plugged the hole however i never dealt with the box. Ever since i started to have esophagus pain and my hunger increased, ate a lot, my BS got elevated regardless insuline dosage, etc..
Today i threw the big VCR tapes though i kept the 8 mm ones which may contain personal stuff. Also kept the CDs and put them all in a shoe box, though i should take them individually by hand and wipe the dust with a wet rag.
How many holes i found in the walls here and plugged over the years? In the walls they were done supposedly by nails from past occupants, but why were they always coming by two, and new ones were popping every time we were away? Must have been in the hundreds.
The stuff in the walls in apartments with mineral insulation is some of the nastiest of all pollutants a human has to face when living in an apartment built in the 70s. I don't know who was the genius who invented mineral insulation, and yes, it may have good thermal insulation properties and be fire resistant and stuff but it is a death sentence to live in one of those. And not only death, but endless torture and illness.
If you have holes in the walls and breath that stuff, it gets eliminated slowly from lungs and reaches your esophagus, stomach and colon. Imagine verh sharp microscopic pieces of "dirty" glass. Wall dust also contains paper fiber from the drywall sandwich which is soaked with mineral sulfur in gaseous form (SO2), the next nasty thing that comes out of those. And the fact the air stays inside those walls for decades, mixing with nutrients like dead skin that get in there through the same holes.
No a regular medical grade HEPA filter even with electrostatic elements cannot stop those particles, they are too small and the electrostatic filters still on the market have very low flow (efficiency). The negative ion generators that help bring the dust to the floor work but not (did not try a high capacity one) a lot and the ones that collect dust particles do work a little, better than nothing. Mine has broke and did not get another one yet. I believe this is the only brand on the market.
But all filters are useless if you have the tiniest active hole in a wall and sometimes they are hidden behind furniture and appliances.
The ceiling has actual cracks. Over the years, the drywall panels became curvy and cracked in places all because of the speed bump in front of the building. I finally painted it with some really tough stuff, which is not a paint but a primer that has lots of polymer in it which is very strong, plugged every crack and is even helping the ceiling structurally (a bit). I remember of jocke at Steve, the Korean mechanic. At my question, what is really holding the drywall panels together in an apartment, he said: The paint!
Can't remember the brand right now, i bought in store, could have been this guy. I also bought a roller with pump which really helps with painting (did not move anything, did not cover anything) but the primer was too thick for that roller, start and stop button was not working as intended, Angela had to stand next to me and plug it and unplug it when too much paint was coming through that hose.
I believe it can cover cracks like those at the corners of walls/ceilings. But for bigger cracks and nail holes, you have to buy some gypsum and plug those first.
As for the power roller, it was a german brand, which is synonym with quality.
Apartment buildings with central AC? If they use water for heating/cooling like i saw at Peppermill, they must have a heat exchanger inside the wall or ceiling and that usually has a paper filter. Filter can be replaced but the radiator itself is usually soaked with dust that went past the filter.
Not talking about efficiency but bacterial growth. I have this window AC that i hose every week after the guys who blow the parking lot pass by and both radiators are clean. But if i started it right after they soak the building with dust, dust will come inside, though there are separate ait circuits for inside (hot) and inside (cold) part with a very small common part (yes the condensation pan inside).
Yes my hands did swell a little just by manipulating that crate (box).
Under the fridge. Dust of all kinds stick on the coil under your fridge and there is a fan there to spread it in the room, at vibrations from outside like slammed doors from your neighbors which also help dust from wall being pumped though all holes and at the joint drywall/floor.
And yes i believe many of so called mental illnesses and addictions are caused by those, not only colon cancer and stuff. Some of the antidepressants are actually helping with the pain caused by the sharp mineral dust. Probably street drugs too.
Nose congestion. The very irritant sharp mineral dust inflames the mucous membrane inside the nose, making breathing harder. Some people do not realize and keep breathing though the noise which is 90% closed. This at first causes anxiety and then a vacuum inside lungs that raises your diaphragm muscle that separate chest and abdominal cavity, raising your stomach (hiatal hernia) and twisting your heart, resulting in at first palpitations.
May these guys rot in hell.
9:50 Got this job offer from indeed, I believe their AI started crawling on blogs and select candidates. Could there be finally some justice in this. They said i have strong writing skills LOL. If you All start blogging on anything after a while you might get this.
8:58 Or they could just watch the image above one minute a day.
9:00 MGGA. But it does not have the same maga.
BTW. These guys with moustache reminded me of the blond cook with moustache at the Tule grill at Indian Head last night who gave me a weird look while i was in line there. In the car i discovered he burnt my burger again. It was black (on one side only). One more thing.
As soon as i got there, (the real) people started to leave, there was a line at the end of parking lot. When i looked through the window from the only parking spot left what did i see. Yes at some point they were two cops from tribal police in the casino, but this was the first time i saw them patrolling among the machines. They were both taller than me also looking Indian.
Yes could have gotten back inside to ask for another one but it was raining, i was tired and all of the people there including the cook looked unfamiliar. It was like some task force took over the whole place and were acting like locals.
In the end i ate it and there was also some loud distorted bass pegging the subwoofer in a nearby car and the smell of cows from across the street and almost chocked (dysphagia). Also because i was was sort of paralyzed by the mole gas coming from a new hole i discovered under the deck when we left.
Sometimes i do spend time in the car because of being tired from the dangerous trip there.
9:07 If they were serious they would have picked a serious candidate against Trump.
9:55 In the car while going there we listened to music in sequence from my 6000 songs stick. Here came this funny song and we both started to laugh at also to release the tension after three accidents i avoided on the road, people pushing real close with modified high beams from behind) and i turned the volume up.
After i got in the parking lot at Indian Head i went to check the spark plugs, they sometimes get loose after replacing them though i wiped the threads with cotton balls before putting the new ones. They were ok but i had to go first thing to the restroom to wash my hands and two guys one after another came in with cups of beer raised at their head's heigh.
10:10 We left after midnight to avoid traffic but they were more than ever and all comming from the opposite, nobody was going our way. They did not get fewer not even at 2 AM. All blinding me with modified high low and fog lamps, must have been in the hundreds. But how come they always came in the most critical curves of the road when i had to guess the direction to go?
Yes it was raining and cold which lowered pressure in my tires. Traction control lamp came on many times and i got bad mileage. I made 39 on dashboard for the whole day (230 miles) which would be about 37 at the pump. But i have more power at the gas pedal after replacing those spark plugs.
When i got back to Gresham on 212 i saw a BMW comming from the opposite with stock lights and high beam on and it was like nothing, i could just stare right at it, it was like ten times less compared to what i faced up in the woods of Mount Hood where at times i could barely see the yellow line on the right of the lane due to blinding from incoming.
11:11 When i went to Romania in April 2004 (the only time in 31 years) it was all over the news. Still awaiting trial? Which reminds me of... Also of... Narcis Tarcău is from Bacău and was working in an office next to mine at xIMU. Most likely there are not real Romanians but Hungarians. No, Julian Mart, my colleague at xIMU was not Gregorian Bivolaru though he looked somehow similar. He did yoga too in college.
I personally was initiated (i think) in ascetic Sadhu yoga by my roommate Gabriel without me knowing or willing after one day he put me in a trance after he forced me to sleep only 4 hours a day for months, reading books, both walking naked in the room, eating little food, he gave me a new, secret name and asked me to do a small job for him every day etc. I will come with more informations in my biographic notes, chapter II, High School.
Interestingly enough in historical Bukovina there is a place called Sadagura (which may stand for Sadhu guru which might have been called millennia ago, when in Romania it was spoken Sanskrit) and another place called Sadova within walking distance from where i was born (and where i almost had that bicycle accident).
The grandmother of my grandmother who built the house we were all living in was sort of a healer, including immobilizing broken bones with flat pieces of wood (splints) and in Bucovina existed a tradition called Solomonari.
But if you'd ask me, i'd say they are just part of an ancient culture and genetic group with deep analysis capability of establishing cause-effect relationships.
12:15 Angela has 50 dollars free play, 40 dollars food and one free night at Three Rivers and tomorrow she got a day off (Labor Day).
12:30 Do all country songs sound the same? Is this a gay song?
