5:37 Woke up ten minutes ago after 5 hours and a half of sleep with pains all over my body. As i could not totally sweep the dust, and the wind blew yesterday from that direction (jet stream passed over and went south of Oregon) the dust got in the AC and everywhere inside. Got to hose the AC and the stairs and mop the kitchen floor. But first effect of the dust was me having another dysphagia episode yesterday when i didn't know yet what was outside.

6:13 About 15 minutes ago the fridge started the compressor cycle, the ultrasound (hissing) from the valve raised the dust from kitchen floor, fan started to blow it and i started to sneeze like crazy which prompted me to mop the kitchen floor. While mopping i was thinking about the old ninja i spoke with in a car. He came Sunday night and stopped his car in the alley and asked me something, with a funny pronunciation. I didn't answer him but told him: "Sayonara!" and he then started to say something in a language that could have been altered Romanian. Sapunara! (Sapun in Romanian means soap). So i told him "F.... you!" and he left. The next morning they came and pretending i don't know, checking the hydrant, they blew much of the chips, that aren't the right size but much smaller and mixed with dust, in the alley and i went and tried to sweep it two hours later when i saw it but the finest dust remained in the rough surface of the asphalt. Was thinking about the 18 ninja skills listed in the Togakure Ryu "school". One of them is meteorology. But that was, i don't know, 400, 900 years ago. Nowadays they got the Earth Simulator and who knows, Pacific Intertie, Gakonna, Alaska. All i can say is this. Somebody's got to put these guys back to their place cause they are way too far from home here. 6:39 Angela is also very irritated. I was thinking earlier. When i got metsubushed i don't know, 25 years ago, i had no idea. We were both going nuts, and it was me who usually ended in a mental hospital. Now i know what's happening, but still hard to get over.

I remember one situation. I was working at Epson in the spring  97 and they had a program, like tuition for a limited number of credits to a college. So i went to PCC and took an AutoCad course 3 credits worth. I went several weeks through all tests with maximum points and the day before the final test which counted for the credits they came at the complex (Sussex Village Apartments, Beaverton) and added chips everywhere. The next day i got really sick and could not go to the test. I guess they wanted to keep that out of my CV.

I was working on a line who for some reason did twice the number of printers than other lines (with same number of people). Angela who was working on another line had a "Romanian" colleague next to her who was looking just like then President or Romania, Emil Constaninescu.
7:14 I read the news oh boy. Afghanistan was the last black hole from where nothing ever came out, as credible reports, remote enough for nobody to be able to go there and see what's really happening, where American soldiers where sent to die, who knows how many.
11:46 All spider webs at the door (created since i last hosed it a week ago) where full of dust. also the smell was present. Woke up about half hour ago full of pain all over. So i went and hosed the door and the hole corner of the building. Much is left in front cause they started to maneuver people and vehicles so i just gave up. But dust situation got better inside. However tomorrow the blowers are coming, got to do it one more time.

I saw him in the news. It was dark Sunday night when that Japanese guy looking for "controlled trouble" came to ask me about a "iuuunit", don't know if it was him. But even if it was, i don't believe he planned to die next day, they just retired him in a care facility cause he looks kinda seek indeed.

Dust in the Wind

5:37 AM Woke up ten minutes ago after 5 hours and a half of sleep with pains all over my body. As i could not totally sweep the dust, and the wind blew yesterday from that direction (jet stream passed over and went south of Oregon) the dust got in the AC and everywhere inside. Got to hose the AC and the stairs and mop the kitchen floor. Blogger isn't perfect either. If i want max resolution for a picture, i have to upload it twice. Once at X-large size and that gives me best resolution for slidewhow. Second at original resolution and substitute the name of the file in the first upload and that gives me max resolution for the post itself. Default size for X-large is 600 and display style is block so i got to modify those two. That is after the last modifications they did about a year ago. I did not upload the following images twice except for first, cause it was not worth it. To see those at max resolution can click on an image and go into slideshow mode. Can move the mouse wheel to get an animation like effect.

Next day. I went to a walk and discovered there was more redwood chips and dust that have been hose by someone who tested the hydrants.

But maybe the best way to show the dust problem is a picture with the bedroom windows. You can see how dirty is the screen (could have hosed it if the window was closed). I only touched about half of the fixed part of the window. I wanted to take more pictures, like how white the stairs are becoming when i hosed them several times washing the mold from concrete tiny grooves and crevices but they occupied strategically all directions in which i could take pictures, one of them was the Japanese woman acting Latina with kids at the first entrance of building D

August 17 12:26 A înebunit, recidivat sau a decis să se arate Dinescu, poetul în pulover cu pix al revoluției noastre.

1:29 Went for a short walk around the hospital. When i came back again two big guys in the same bulldozer on wheels making a big noise and from the opposite direction, an ambulance coming behind me i almost didn't hear. Again at the last intersection a small black Chevy, maybe electric came with no noise from behind.

When i left i couldn't help but notice, yesterday they made a similar mess at the end alley of the U shape complex, where there is still dust from January gravel. A huge U-howl truck blocking an intersection, except for a small passage. The wind today is blowing from that direction too.

When i came back again scenes with kids that grew up, an old woman coming out helped by a strong man and the handy(wo)man passing to protect.

4:55 Dust inside and pain and nothing else prompted me to go and sweep. It was a two hours job manually with a broom. Besides the rude dust, i also picked lots of gravel dust. If i didn't it would have went like this for 6 more months or more. More and more people some with kids interrupted me. A helicopter flying sideways just above trees passed twice. Towards the end i just gave up, they were some piles i didn't pick. And i'm not going to do it again. Wanted to go to take a picture, too many people get in the way.
One can see at the end of the alley there is much gravel left i simply could not pick up because too many people were getting in the way, same when i took this picture. Then Angela came and went back, washed my clothes and took a shower. Maybe other time. What seemed impossible at first i've done today in less then two hours, there is a one hour job left.
9:52 Suddenly realized who might have beeen in the apartment while i was sweeping (found signs at the door moved). An unusually sexy young woman (rather short, dark complex and hair) who later passed my car when i was working on it. BTW, this car has way too many plates transmitting voltage from battery to whatever. Unnecessary contacts that can get contaminated with oil and dirt.

Tonight i washed the plates with a solvent (electronic cleaner), put them all back together (pictures tomorrow) and went for a test drive. The voltage at the lighter plug was 14.3 and 14.4 while driving, 14.2 at iddle. Mileage to Wilsonville and back (excluding the first entry ramp cause i forgot to reset it) was 43 at the dashboard. Then i drove to Eaton (Avery St. and Tualatin Sherwood Hwy) and back and total mileage was 39.6

This is the closest image i could find in my phone right now showing the plates. There are three plates and 2 bolts and nuts between the battery terminal and the three main power cables.

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.
