8:30 Cam jumătate, sau 200 miliarde de lei sau 40 miliarde euro anual. Dar nu e vorba numai de contracte oneroase, prețuri și angajări. Astea sunt cazul fericit în care știm ce s-a întâmplat cu banii. O mare parte din bani însă dispar pur și simplu din buget, bugetul nu se încheie în mod public, de 32 de ani nu a venit nimeni niciodată la sfârșitul anului să spună: Ăștia au fost banii, atât s-a cheltuit, pe ce anume sau la începutul anului să spună: Ăștia sunt banii, asta vom face cu ei. Cu alte cuvinte, o dare se seamă pe buget. V-au obișnuit așa, asta vine din vechime, din comunism, când nimeni nu dădea seama de nimic, era un singur politician la televizor, și nimeni nu va schimba asta niciodată.

Fără menționarea acelor cifre, totul este de un mișto imens cosmic.

Motivul și în același timp consecința că miniștrii se schimbă în fiecare an. Fiecare ministru care a fost într-un guvern sau altul a deturnat în medie aproximativ două miliarde de euro, la unele ministere a fost mai mult, la altele, sume insignifiante, iar eu nu-i văd pe acești indivizi, cu sutele, meteori de care în general nu mai auzim, să aibă banii. Nimeni nu poate cheltui atâția bani. Banii se duc undeva, și toată lumea știe unde, acolo unde s-au terminat autostrăzile și se dă 32 mii euro (bani de casă) la al treilea copil, multe alte alocații și beneficii (un părinte sau poate amândoi pot sta acasă).

Există în schimb un număr de scandalagii gen Rareș Bogdan care știu mai bine românește (români români la origine, din milioanele nedeclarate în țara vecină) apar tot timpul în televizoarele dvs. la care vă uitați cu gura larg deschisă, care "țin fața" adică vă distrag atenția în timpul acestei veșnice, nevăzute scurgeri, repetând la infinit: "Nu sunt bani", "nu ne putem permite".

Miniștrii înșiși, atât cât durează, atât cât ține scurta lor viață în funcția respectivă, beneficiul dubiului și al confuziei, prezumția de cinste, perioada lor de grație la sfârșitul căreia ei dispar odată cu banii.

Culmea că se ceartă, fac competiție între ei, cu exemplul clasic Nicușor Dan - Firea, bine, ei nu sunt miniștri, dar sunt în aceeași categorie. Străinii alienii care se au grijă de banii României.

Hai să fim realiști. Statul român nu există, nu în sensul în care este format din reprezentanți români sau au grijă de România.

Suntem, trăim, ne zbatem într-un rahat (mess) infinit, de nedescris. Hai să încerc. Scurgeri de jumătate din buget. Din cealaltă jumătate: Contracte la preț dublu. Milioane de pensii false. Sute de mii de sinecuri. Politicieni de împrumut. Media de scandal. Milioane în diaspora.

11:30 Following the pain yesterday. We found a rotten potato in a forgotten bag in one of the cabinets. Angela left the windows open for a few hours. Trouble breathing that ended with cooking a burger in the pan, doing another one right now after i came and took this picture with the rubbish generated yesterday and left at my door. Today, puffy fingers and face following inflammation. I'm pretty sure this wouldn't have have happen if i didn't try to dust the buildings two days ago. A short, deep brown and fat Japanese woman dressed in black came yesterday with a (White Shinto) county car (American made, reinforced, probably retractable window in between, like Police cars, i think yellow in color) and got into my dust exactly when i was doing the part next to stairs. She was in there to visit the apartment where they dismantled the newly installed window and put another one and chose to climb down the stairs in that very moment. Where the athletic Japanese woman with yellow tinted hair disguised as Mexican sits in the balcony and yells in Spanish on the phone for hours. Where the guy with the Pitt Bull dog is. One late night he was there where the bin is with his dog and i think the dog was not on leash and i asked  him why and he kept saying. Stray. Or Straight, like he couldn't speak more words in English.

Also the mail woman was there filling mail boxes across the alley. Mail never came after that.

In the holy white neighborhood where nobody lives for real. At the intersection where once i saw an angry Simona Halep crossing and staring (she was as surprised as i was) and when usually cars arrive exactly when i cross, by the dozens, with "scared" women at the wheel, today they were two city trucks pouring fresh mulch on the dividers with planted flowers, from wind's direction, making even harder to breath.

Lots of people in the park, probably came to see  the tree with the three stray branches, took more pictures from a different angle, trying to prove it was  there for a long time.

11:58 The Queen is dead, days after i posted this song. Long live Charles!
(After just seeing this video again and again, i realized something. The reason they pulled him off was because he was actually losing his voice).

12:45 Levente Nemes, Árpád Visky sunt de fapt John Lennon și Freddy Mercury, amândoi trăiesc în Târgu Mureș. Levente Nemes mi-a fost coleg de "facultate" (Juravle) iar Árpád Visky de liceu (Mihai Manolea).

6:00 One more type of trouble with free Android from google. Everybody knows. When you are trying to activate a new phone, you need two things. A wi-fi connection, but not any connection, you'll need one with a password. Can't do it (or reset) a phone by example with a free "unsecure" wi-fi in a hotel or store.

You need to be at home with your password protected wi-fi because there is a box with a password to fill and can't get past that if you don't. Then, next thing your free Android from google asks (which is the only alternative to paying Windows which still exists as option) (no i was wrong, it doesn't) is a google account and password and this is where it begins to sound crazy: You can't activate and use a phone you own, like an unlocked (that is not partially paid and owned by the provider and of course locked by the provider so you won't migrate to another provider with the phone paid by them) new phone you just bought on Amazon (provided you were lucky enough to get one that works in the US on all frequencies and covered areas by a provider, not knowing you have too look for that too in the description at Amazon), without being forced to use a free proprietary operating system, which is actually the one and only free Linux, the main competitor of Windows, compiled and abusively branded as Android by google, which is free because it is built and maintained by thousands of volunteers around the world (nobody has or better said will show you the list, ask Torvalds).

So this is where it gets hairy. In case you buy a new unlocked phone and a plan with a different provider and don't feel like getting through the hassle of porting the old number, with all the questions, including your social, password for the old online account and waiting, and use the old google account from the old phone of course to activate the phone, google in all of his mercy will activate it but won't ask you for the new phone number of the phone you are just activating and if you with all the stress will forget to manually update it (that is if you know it's there and need to). I think you know where i'm getting at. If you don't use that email, are not signed in on other devices and lose that password and try to reset that phone a few months later (or even try to install an app and google will ask you to confirm the password). Can't recover with the email address because you can't sign in because you lost the password. Can't recover with the old phone number because you don't have that phone anymore.

And as a final (courteous) offense, when you try to put in an old password, google will tell you the date when you changed it.

6:30 A couple of strokes steps from the guy upstairs who just dropped in and the room is full (again and again) with old, wall distilled dog s..t smell.

7:30 One modified exhaust car and the new dust from the bin (picture above) was raised and got (again) in my throat and stomach. BTW that on the bin is the rey kanji?

8:00 It went quiet after i posted about strokes (6:30), now it has risen again.

8:20 Because of that kanji i looked closer and realized they actually pulled lots of the pink mineral insulation (in last picture it came yellow because of the flash of the phone) from the wall when they replaced the newly installed kitchen window (Apt 4) and threw it in the bin. Of course they did not come today to finish or take the garbage. I think it is illegal to throw that stuff in open air like this. Got stings all over and have to throw the closes in the washer and take a shower. Two SUVs came to turn in our spot and projected headlights on me, though i was mostly hidden, on the other side of the bin

Because and only because of that kanji i went and looked if there's a kanji for the three vertical strokes that make the monster drink logo and the three branches above and what did i find? After all, the branches are on top of a bridge over a canal that links a (stinky) pond invaded with lotuses with Tualatin River, and monster drink is a... monster drink. Green because in the not so long term will kill you.

I went and pulled that from the rest of the garbage and put it in a bag, because who knows for how long they will let it here but i think i missed some mostly because it was dark and insulation was mixed with other rubbish. A fresh batch of dust got inside as a result of disturbing the whole but i don't believe is as bad as when is electrified by vibration. Two Japanese guys were in the parking lot, reading their phones. Got a small drink, pain situation is much better. I think alcohol is a good painkiller for low level body wide pain. Tomorrow i will be all puffy again though.

 

10:52 I think Seven Strait (X-panse) would have made a much better Freddy Mercury in the movie.

11:39 Becali.

September 7

1:03 Vreți să fiți șocați de răspunsul că de ce la un smartphone cu Snapdragon cu 4 miezuri ritmate (clocked) la 1.5 GHz trebuie să așteptați 5 secunde ca să aduceți pe ecran o amărâtă de aplicație de cameră?

Când se întâlnește Python (da, mai este și Anaconda) cu un începător.

Și mai puteți intui dvs. vraiștea inimaginabilă din IT și abuzul de hardware și de baterie când firmele angajează începători pentru profit. Când bătrânul C care are 50 de ani a rămas referință și bază de comparație, cu doar Java (care până la urmă este tot un fel de interpretor) între. Asta e. Singura noastră treabă pe aici e să ne agite șerpii ca să încălzim planeta.

5:24 Și tot ei se plâng de "cancel culture". După ce că am acceptat provocarea de a scrie despre vraiștea inimaginabilă din IT ca de oriunde (Information Technology, după postarea despre distrugerea informației, care este pur teoretică) riscând să-mi "cancel" propriile idei (nu-mi pasă, acea postare este pentru un public destul de îngust, adică cei care au făcut ceva fizică la nivel de facultate) și care (în mod ideal, ar trebui să) nu amestece în mintea lor ideile , iată că au venit cu o chestie să "cancel" și ce am scris mai sus, astfel încât totul să fie "cancel" și să rămână ei mereu deasupra nestingheriți. Le dernier qui a parlé, amen. Apropo și de baterii. Și încălzirea planetei, oare de unde au scos ăștia poza cu 4 turnuri de răcire în loc de două?

Capisci? The Sun is eclipsed  by the Moon.

9:42 Let's give them something. Talk about love.

2:22 I was so wrong. This morning at 8 they started to hammer and cut. I was so tired i fell back asleep. At 9 i got out of bed, ate something and left ASAP. What was happening. They didn't finish. There was one more window (not visible in any of my pictures) and one sliding door in the back. As i got out, besides the hammering noises (don't really understand why they have to use a hammer for one hour to remove one window) a siren and an airhorn started. As i stopped to look they were staring back at me. A car came on the alley, but i saw it. I left for the walk. The tree miles loop. I was relaxed and happy i got over one of the biggest health problem i ever had. An accident i can't talk about (not a car accident).

There i saw this. Hanging above the little bridge over the little canal linking the pond with the river. Maybe because i was so relaxed and took my time, it was there for a long time. Thinking. Is this a ninja groomed life size bonsai?

Got home around noon. Read the news. FEDs Beige Book brought the market up nearly 2 percent. Lael Brainard? Late last night i posted Brain Damage and Eclipse video by Pink Floyd. As i was searching for her once pretty face and of course watching many beautiful women's pictures, right in front of me, beyond the sliding doors, ninja disguised as Mexican were carrying garbage, planks and other materials they used today at the building which BTW isn't finished as right now. Then they left for "siesta". One window and one door,  not finished, while the next building has been done in one day (5 sliding doors, maybe more windows). Had to start the AC cause it's too hot in here and i have to dry some laundry. Than around 1 PM it started. First it felt like a bit of smoke going past the AC or under main door. Then, dust. Then, pain, trouble seeing. On a scale of 1 to 10 right now i feel pain like at level 7 on my whole body. No, it happened many times before i had diabetes. Blurred vision. Pain in my throat. Normally i would have had a few drinks, but not today, not after what i've been through the last days (inflammation with infection extending from colon, bowel, peritoneum) of course after treating nano dust pain with alcohol.

6:53 I was sitting here on the coach watching again Expanse Season 5 which apparently i just browsed at the time, i don't remember much of it when he started the drier for the second time, without the washer.

Litter dust smell came and i taped again one corner of the room (the closest to the drier, where he squeaked earlier). As a result, he dropped a heavy object making a new crack in a different spot, behind me, the smell came back. I will go and tape the suspected area as well.

September 6th

11:36 Painful dust still lingers in here, i went outside and hosed this corner of the building, found a poop and when i took that one to the garbage, what did i see? Is this a guardian eagle meant so scare my subconscious so i won't look?

Though they must have seen it, they never fixed the building, the tape i put is still there.

Same at the next building. The garbage bin is still here though they finnished this one.

12:20 I went and dusted whatever i could reach. A few windows were open. At one window a woman came near and started to cough, so i gave up. A very short woman dressed in black, pants and A-shirt and jacket on her hand and a writing board on the other went in and out of an apartment where i was dusting. Building next to ours seems in a very bad shape and deserted.

3:00 To this point i fail to understand why they cut so much of the old siding, exposing the insulation. The resulting dust, seen on this building and the other (They dusted buildings A to D) is wood dust mixed with insulation and some mold.

4:30 There is little doubt in my mind that the god of freemasons is the emperor. I mean all i see around here at the complex are ninja and on the streets, today i saw a few freemasons, risking their lives. All cars on the streets are now potentially dangerous to me, as they maneuver unexpectedly and of course beyond the limit of the law since their intention is waiting there in dangerous situations for me to make a mistake on cameras.

September 5th

12:00 Buddha, Sage of the Shakyas. Shakespeare.

I remembered what i once told the English teacher in HS when she asked me (and everybody else) why i wanted to learn English and i told her that i hope some day i will be able to understand Shakespeare "in original". Just because everybody was talking about, had no idea where his ideas came from and that we had our own poets with similar ideas (though i knew of that poem at the time). Today i tried to read "To be or not be" from Hamlet, which is however full of Old English words and expressions of those days that sound weird (since the spirit of those days is gone, can't feel what they felt when they read it, mission impossible) i never heard about, but i think my goal was generally achieved (50 years later, lucky enough) and surpassed since i am able to write a no nonsense blog partly in English and have meaningful conversations, though generally with ninja and foreign actors who speak by ear prompter.

12:05 It was quiet all morning, which is an exception to the rule. I had this idea which is actually older, came at the computer to do the searches, he became animated, some micro rubbish fell on my head so i added more duck tape on the ceiling in suspected areas (last resort).

Nothing new except i remembered i thought i saw him last night at Chinook Winds. Different hairdo, glasses, looking younger, but i think it was him. More than that, was getting in my way, discretely, everywhere i went, making it look like we were together. Here he keeps pouring gas in that motorcycle with a leaking carburetor. The gas falls in the engine and then in the lot, through that breather which in modern cars have been replaced by PCV circuit, stinking.

1:15 Yesterday my love (dor) for the Ocean beat the smoke an i stepped down on those stairs which i haven't done in a while and took three unusual pictures.

First. There was a fog bank close to the beach. The Ocean seemed like a river with a shore on the other side with monster waves coming at you.

Nobody steps that way. That is a masonic step.

3 of the seven fires.

One of the`goals of the window replacement were replacing the siding under with a scale like siding where it is impossible for water to get inside. However they left enough space between planks for dust to get out. He just shook the building with his washer and litter dust fell from there and came in inside i guess from under the door. I went in his apartment the other day and i saw the grill from the in-wall heater under that window is removed, with a missing screw, exposing the inside of the wall. Also got to hose the dust buns under the roof cause nobody else is doing it.

5:38 But what's around the corner, right where his washer is upstairs?

As i said before, once you enter this complex all rules and laws disappear, people are walking and driving chaotically, kids are playing and yelling unsupervised for many hours a day, buildings are not cleaned after major repair, etc..

Don't know, it's been like yesterday since Eminem "settled all his law suits", nowadays there ain't no shame, they pump porn in the air all day long, but this?

9:00 I went to Walmart to buy a phone and a plan with AT&T. People in there were acting dumb. Many people with many babies squeezing around. In Electronics some guy came around, he looked like a young musician or actor i must have seen in a video. We were waiting in line. The Asian woman came and said they're out of those phones, though they were on display. Somebody in line in front of us bought a real cheap TV, for 280 bucks or something. Our TV was old 40 inches and not 4K and had a vertical line on it so we decided to buy one similar. 50 inches, 4k, Roku whatever. A group of Arabs talking loud surrounded us.

We paid at the department and one minute later, i thought i saw again Jacqueline Cristian. i went outside and Angela went to check some other stuff. At the entrance, though it didn't happen in a long time, an Asian guy asked for the receipt, and insisted to see it, though i was asking myself. How could i have gotten a TV that was not on the shelf (they got the display ones which are not in boxes) and not paying for it (you have to pay at the department) and gave me back the receipt though i didn't look at. On the road here, many dangerous situations, including a speeding semi (70+ in a 55) in the middle lane, touching lines, other lanes. Got home, installed the TV and for some reason i wanted to see the receipt but all i could find in the pocket was the 5 dollars receipt i got at Indian Head for a shot of brandy, though i don't remember taking it and keep asking if i had the same jeans on me.

10:10 Just finished a shower after i went and dusted the building as seen in the last picture above, reaching maybe one meter above our level (upper plank). Most dust is from cutting the siding around windows, thus is contains wood dust and insulation dust. Right in the middle of the picture, around the corner, there are two vents at the basement level and they both have dogs in the corresponding apartments. Vapor from possibly dog laundry gets inside our wall (right) which stinks like a stable (from the outside). Can do more with a hose,  but not on that side of the building with many windows.

September 4th

10:25 Am mai văzut, nu demult o asemenea bazaconie în știri. Teoretic este zona în care unele mașini pot încă să meargă. Am văzut pe un forum, Porsche, unele BMW modificate, un Corvette nou (adică neuzat) ajung la acea viteză, dar îți trebuie drumul liber, poate un minut doar că să accelerezi timp în care faci cam 2 km. Odată ajuns la viteza aceea faci un km în 13 secunde (78 m/s sau un sfert din viteza sunetului). Deși timpul a fost șters de pe poză, pare să fie ora 14. Dacă accelerezi doar așa pentru câteva secunde, trebuie să știi unde se află radarul, ca să te înregistreze. De asemenea o singură groapă adâncă de câțiva cm te trimite pe orbită.

Da am avut dreptate, am găsit pe un site mai puțin citit poza cu ora necenzurată.
Prince Rogers Nelson 10:48 Nu am reușit niciodată să înțeleg ce vrea să însemne în această melodie "in the middle".
Apropo mă gândeam nu mai departe de ieri (pentru câteva secunde, înainte de a intra în magazinul acela T-mobile), cum știe ZEDD să-și aleagă vocalistele, din păcate alta pentru fiecare hit.
11:33 Apropo ieri am condus 216 mile (aprox 350 km) pe un drum expres (highway) cu o medie de 60 mph (100 km/h) cu un consum la bord e peste 40 mpg (sub 6 litri la sută), altitudine peste 1000 metri pe un drum bun cu multe reparații recente (drumurile americane sunt în general de calitate, dar nu știu cum să spun, uneori vălurite, adică nu așa drepte ca cele din Germania, Franța etc.), cu un peisaj de vis (munți, deșert, faceți clic pe centrul imaginii), (pe care le-am văzut puțin de prea multe ori, mi-e dor de cele din România),  ceea ce ar fi foarte relaxant dacă nu ar veni nebunii care mai recent (mai ales după accidentul de acum un an) roiesc cu zecile în jurul meu, se bagă în spate foarte aproape doar așa ca să șicaneze un dictator extraterestru.

Mă dau la o parte, să scap de un nebun vine rezerva (dar dacă mă uit mai cu atenție mulți șoferi sunt asiatici, deci totul e simulat, ca să vadă alții, probabil filmat din drone). La plecare, în Sandy în timp ce noi am desfăcut o pungă de cartofi galbeni (chips) o blondă superbă, pufoasă, deschide ușa și se bagă pe bandă, iar după Sandy, pe banda din mijloc era tot așa un tip blond, plinuț, dezbrăcat, beat, cu ușa deschisă care aproape a pășit în fața mea (pe banda din dreapta mă depășea alt nebun). L-am claxonat și mi-a arătat degetul. Deci la jumătatea drumului (de 108 mile), la venire, mai întâi îmi apare un coiot jigărit, nu ca cel gras din video, probabil animal de companie care nu poate prinde un șoarece, pe rezerva (shoulder) din stânga, care stătea nemișcat. După vreo 5 minute, pe o zonă cu linie continuă vine un nebun cu SUV și mă depășește la care eu am ridicat piciorul de pe accelerator, poate am frânat puțin. Când era vreo 10 metri înaintea mea pe banda cealaltă, încă în depășire, lovește tot așa un animal mort (căprioară, coiot, nu știu) care sare din roata lui chiar pe linia continuă din mijloc. Dacă ar mai fi mers vreo câțiva cm, l-aș fi lovit, nu aveam timp să evit, iar mașina mea este foarte joasă (aerodinamică optimizată pentru consum) și probabil aș fi pierdut controlul.

Mai aproape de casă, pe la 4 dimineața, văd în fața mea pe o stradă pustie (în Boring sau Gresham) două trailere din astea de ridicat mașini de pe stradă (towing), cu o mașină de Poliție (State Police), în urma lor, aici, țara fără poliție politică, sunt în schimb multe poliții poliții, adică locală (în fiecare oraș), de stat (în fiecare stat), șerif (pe comitat) etc.. Ei toți mergeau puțin sub limită așa că nu am îndrăznit să-i depășesc, în zonele cu două benzi puteam dar trebuia să fi mers puțin peste, iar în urma mea venea un Morris cred cu număr maro (Oregon cultural) pe care scria ceva de genul CRYWLF. Faza asta chiar n-am înțeles-o de loc.

2:00 In Liz we Truss.

2:30 We were sitting here in the living, watching news, videos, writing on blog, whatever, when they brought in the yelling kids, a couple of hours ago. A couple of Japanese kids that are trained to move around, yell and do a whole audio-video show guided by some AI software similar to what they use during live or even "reality" shows. I know from experience, when those show, they will stay all day (to make their trip from Japan worthwile) so we just decide to leave and i think they now pulled them out.
