The Maruts and the Windsocks

Maruts are important Vedic deities. They are attendants of Indra. In some depictions they appear to be flying on some sort of dragon. They are shown covered in gold and use gold weapons. Menumorut, which could mean Meant Marut in sanskrit, was one of the kings mentioned by the Hungarians (Magyars, Magars) as opposing the conquest of some Romanian territory.

To this day name of god Indra is kept in Romanian language in the word "îndrăzneț" (Sanskrit indrasvat) which means daring. Here is god Varuna, also shown as a fighter riding a flying dragon with the head of a wolf.
Dacian Draco, with the head of a wolf and body of a serpent was an ensign of the troops of Dacia, apparently taken over by the Romans after the conquest of Dacia for gold. It shows on the column and also in other places of the empire, after. It is said the Dacian Draco was hollow and making a terrifying sound when the wind was blowing through it.
In aviation, a windsock is a very useful instrument. Installed at landing fields in remote places with no information on the speed and direction of wind, just by looking at it, a pilot can figure direction and speed of the wind at ground level.
My idea was. Could it be Dacian Draco a remnant of another era, with civilizations that clashed and destroyed each other. It is not  the only historic sign that show that was the case. Especially in Hindu mythology, also Romanian folklore myths many deities are shown as flying, and flying devices are shown as well. Or could it had been used just to figure the wind's direction and strength for adjusting aim when using bows and arrows.

Of the ancient flying devices, the Vimanas which i think they may have been misinterpreted. Rukma vimanas could be actually a cross section through a delta wing plane, with two (turbo!) jet engines and weapons.
Indo European migration according to current theories which try to explain the closeness of Indian languages with European ones with Sanskrit being the common denominator, started north of the Black Sea, real close to where Dacia was (west of Black Sea). Dacia, roughly present day Romania had, still has some of the greatest gold reserves in Eurasia and the world. I suspect they are currently being exploited using autonomous mole like devices that travel underground in the richest areas, with an entrance for personnel hidden by an old salina turned into a tourist attraction, at the end of one of the few freeways in Romania.

One Taliban, Two Talibans,...

I think the difference between the two pictures is the guy in the left in the first is in the middle in the second.

Yeah i know i said i needed a break after i find a Taliban but never expected to possibly find three grouped the same in two pictures! This is too exciting...

August 28 2020?

In help center, i got a different list of "violations"

11:36 AM There is some sort of chocking smoke coming from outside...

11:43 All of the images in this Huffppost article have something in common. Those Afghans carry no food or water and are all dressed in  new clothes... Is the guy on top of the plane in the first picture taking a selfie?
12:41 I left for a walk, only to see this. Someone came with a hose and hosed all the wood chips in the alley while i was a sleep (roughly 2 AM to 11 AM. That is because i have a hose and  they're trying to say i've done this... I used my hose yesterday to wet the chips and that's all... Those disturbed chips already started to dry and release dust... 
1:49 PM I had no choice but go and sweep the area, put the chips back on front. When i was about done, about 25 minutes ago i saw a gray or tan van with the logo CLEANING SERVICES. Just to pretend they did it. The dust in the air explains my dysphagia this morning. I said many times that after being exposed to that poo, picking or not (some kid started to yell again like dying being swallowed whole by a snake) my intestine becomes contaminated with dog bacteria. That is my f...s actually smell like it.
Water at the faucets is cloudy (just took a shower, now i got the stuff on my, currently doing laundry) which means they used the fire hydrant for water source. Timer+Lake, they simulate it was a Timberlake fan who did it.
As for Dominicans. Dog who sets the Earth on Fire. Album Graecum used to be medicine, probably by religious beliefs.

Dog poo contains lots of phosphorus, if dog is fed with bones. Coca Colita also contain phosphoric acid and has a dog tail on the label. I personally do believe that Coca Cola logo calligraphy reminds of Chinese calligraphy and the end of the first letter C depicts a dragon's tail and the second a dog's tail.
Went for a walk cause i was nauseated after i swept the lot. No need to say, all cars on the street, all the people i met were there for one reason only or maybe no reason.

I took some pictures. Here's one since when i came back. Right now the wind is blowing away.
Every time i pass this point i see that Jeep with the HTR number. Today i was pissed enough to take a picture of it. On the left there's a red little car with a GRU number, first you see when you enter the complex.
They leave half empty cans on the redwood chips. The antifungal property of tannin breeds very weird strains of fungus that contaminate the apartment and stinks.
When i'm mad and curse in my mind they turn my cursor into a colored pixels square when i boot up. If computer is already on, a car's alarm beeps in the parking lot. I wouldn't course so much in my mind if i wasn't used to since college. Have to mention here Aurel Dușman, others.
People in Oregon use lots of wood chips to feel the spaces without grass. However, they are big and do not turn into dust.

Current Weather Pattern

Could not embed the animation so i will just put the screenshots. Here is the current situation of the jetstream over North America.
Jet streams are one of the most interesting phenomenon seen above the surface of Earth. They are some fast moving air currents that are dictated by the difference of rotation speed on the surface of the Earth, with 0 at poles and max at equator and the difference of temperature between poles and equators. Because of that reason, they can't slow down or disappear as i saw on some sites.

Theoretically they are four, all circling Earth from West to East, but they have many meanders and sometimes are even interrupted because they interact with local weather and oscillate. They have been discovered during WWII when sometimes planes flying west at high altitude with 200 mph appeared stationary.

What is interesting is because they separate the so called weather cells, three for each hemisphere, north of jet stream it cold, south is hot and right under is where precipitations occur when there is enough moisture.

What made me write this blog post. There are two unusual loops on the current animated map on this site that stand out of the whole jetstream pattern that were quite stable during the current heat wave that made me think this could be all artificial. I mean, if they found a way to interfere with the jet stream, by punctually heating areas of the atmosphere or ionosphere with high power microwave beams, using advanced math calculations and supercomputers and steer the jet stream, they could obtain a number of advantages and if needed, some psychological leverage over the population.

On the other hand, here is the satellite animation showing air circulation over the West Coast US at the same time. There is a backward flowing current just south of the jetstream that is not part of a cyclon or that exacerbates the heat. I suspect a combined action of steering of the jet stream and using again the Pacific Intertie to create the backflow bringing hot air from the south of the continent.

Have You Ever Been Grilled?

Before last weekend i went to wash the car, knowing it had accumulated some invisible dust on it. I assumed the dust went with the water, in the grill and then in the drain under the car. However, it settled there and dried.
In my way to Spirit Mountain, Lincoln City i noticed some shortness of breath. Symptom that has accompanied me for a long time in the last 30 years or so, on an off with times when it lead me to... mental hospitals (cause it was all in my mind, they said). Like the LPN on the SUB Я U in the picture below.
From Lincoln City to Florence i started to feel weird while driving, had some mild hallucinations (i called them fantasies) in a parallel process in my brain. I thought i was under the influence of dog poo at home, tired, because i didn't sleep enough the night before. In Florence it woke me up a fire engine flashing and sirening and everything. I pulled on the right in a pile of broken glass i failed to see. When i got at the casino, no matter how tired i was, i checked the tires, then i went inside. After seeing all kinda weird scenes, including the digital guy with a hamster on his hat who died the next day in the news, i went back in the car and tried to get some sleep. I was awakened about ten times, like in the second i fell asleep, someone put the headlights in my eyes, walked by, looked at me to see if i'm dead, etc., yelling, trumpetting exhausts. Then i called Angela and told her i wanted to go home. To my surprise she came right away and we left.

However the car started to make the sound that i now associate with gasoline contaminated with water. Water in gas clogs the fuel filter, reducing pressure at the injectors, which in turn don't get enough gas to wash the valves that get blow-by-oil from the PCV and the valves start to stick, squishing the lifters, foaming the oil and giving you bad emissions which translates in vibrations, poor driveability and temporary pulsating opening at the exhaust manifold seal, which may end in the cabin through leaks by the grille and seal.

All these made possible by lower than normal voltage at the fuel pump, due to a badly designed battery connector.

On the road, on a hunch i stopped to check the cabin filter and besides being dirty and stinky, it had some engine oil on it. Which i have no idea how could had gotten in there. Removing that one but mostly driving with the windows open got me to Lincoln City. On the right, the previous filter which i saved with the box to find a new one easier in the store. However i started to order it on Amazon, and i already got it, because there you can know when you bought it last time.
Angela said she wanted to go to the restroom, it was half hour before closing time, however she went in and played and lost a couple of hundred dollars (my estimate). Then she drove to Spirit Mountain. Then she went inside, lost some more money and i slept in the car for 4 hours. It's been two days and i still feel weird. Today i found an almost microscopic piece of wood in an invisible area of my belly skin that i extracted with some tweezers using some old lens as magnifying glass. The infection around it started to subside.

Tonight i remembered about the hole in the grill with the missing retainer i saw yesterday when i finally washed the dust on the grill last night. I saw it before and ignored it. Went outside to put some tape on it, checked the symmetric area of the grill and what do i see.

The plastic grill is interrupted, and there is some sort of lid that allows you to feel the master cylinder brake reservoir (When i did brakes, i added some fluid, from under the grille, no problem, didn't even notice that lid). Dust around it, the foam seal has melted long time ago allowing the area from under the hood to communicate with the cabin through the grill. The whole plastic grill is brittle because of heat, i broke a retainer when i tried to close that lid but that doesn't make a difference (foam seal melted anyways, thing was leaking), especially for the 2+2 miles Angela drives to work and back. Tomorrow i need to study the whole area and add some silicone, but that grille is toasted, needs replacement.
What else do i need to say. The engine filter that was changed in the same time with cabin or before, looks like new.

Day after. The thing has a foam seal but it does not seal by design and/or installation. You open it and  you're done. How can you prove it wasn't you who caught that foam in the edge when putting it back? Can see in the left the heat shield of the exhaust. Heat radiated by that side of the engine will ensure cooking of the grill.

Carbon monoxide from tiniest exhaust leak, oil and dust burning on the exhaust would have you daydream from Portland to Coos Bay and back.
Here it is visible it wasn't done recently. I didn't know of when i've done brakes, and i was the first to do it at this car. Design. The small area by the retainers is not sealed because of the shape of the retainers, not being solid. Why use two different materials, foam and rubber to seal the same area?
The day after i complained about dust they started the work across the street from the parking lot at Eaton which continues to this day. Don't know what that soil is but try to imagine what it does when it burns on the exhaust.

A Recipe From the Ninja House

Today, my way of cooking brisket. 15-30 minutes hands on time. It started with a coupon before a St.Patrick's day. Angela bought some beef with spices in a bag. Of those, the bigger balls of allspice. Bigger than pepper, similar look, heavenly aroma. 

First. Angela's got the meat at Safeway. Not on sale, it's just their marketing strategy. Put in front a huge price to make your jaw drop and then the "sale" price to have you swallow it. Do theses things work for them?

Wash it. Don't care what they say. I wash it like my mother in law would. 3 times to remove the bacterial film on top and/or the water comes clear. In the same blue bowl we have for more than 20 years.
Spices. Sweet red pepper (paprika), curry, pepper, garlic powder (a very interesting new item for us), brisket spices, salt. Grind the big all spice balls and the rest.
Rinse with apple vinegar.
Sprinkle with olive oil.
Wrap in spices

Arange in glass pans. Red cabbage is of course for KGB. Glass pans are easy to clean, do not rust, etc..
Wrap tight in foils. Almost forgot. Do not disturb for the whole cooking time.
400 degrees, two hours later you can eat it without dentures (which i did cause i can't find them). A nice surprise. The cabbage absorbed the rest of the vinegar i could not squeeze by gravity and became something like... sour cabbage, very nice.

Those are the beans that were soaked for almost 24  hours (cause i didn't have the water until Angela came) then boiled at low setting for 2 and a half hours. Added some celery, tomato paste, soft tomatoes that are almost bad, sitting there for days, lots of fine chopped onion, no oil, no fat no nothing (i was also out of carrots).
Of course when i was done, the current ninja master, like all the ninja masters before him, came upstairs and started to squeak and stomp on top of the kitchen area, almost made me have another dysphagia because of unquenchable rage.
