Selected Pictures From The Road Trip

I'm not too tired. Just pissed. I came on a Saturday before they closed the street parking lot for repairs and don't have a space for my truck so i left it at the hospital across the street. Wondering if i'm gonna see that piece of junk again there tomorrow or i'll have to pay towing to retrieve it, more than its value.

Like i was when i took this picture. It was one hour north of Susanville, on route 395 i guess. Tomorrow i'm gonna add a map and maybe timestamps on the pictures. Mostly no cars on the road. After i've been passed by a State Police car, that was following me for about ten miles and i almost missed a left curve on the street with no marking line on the side of the cliff while staring at the rear mirror. Then he passed me though i did not change speed (60).

The pilot car came and the flagger asked me to follow. At least one mile of dust. Didn't see any work. When i looked back the 3 guys i saw looked like they were finishing the job for the day or going to lunch or something. Angela turned the fan too early after that and some dust came inside despite the cabin filter.

Sierras at Susanville.

Top of the armoire at Atlantis hotel in Reno. Had much trouble finding a hotel, in a parking lot with the laptop hooked to high speed internet. First i tried Paper Mill and the receptionist could not guarantee the room will not be a duplex (with a door in the wall to another room). Though hotels where at less than half the capacities.

And  the towell i kept washing until i got most of that dust.

Peppermill seen at night from Atlantis. The escalators smelled like sewage gas from basement.

I was not suppose to go this street. My phone with google maps could not connect to car's bluetooth and i missed a turn while searching for Lowes where i went to buy an UV lamp. Almost got into this.

Can you feel it coming in the air tonight? They were dust buns inside AC vent. Sewage gas from a leak was coming with conditioned air. No windows on those high raise hotels, obviously. Had to let the door open for hours, then i bought a portable UV lamp from Lowers. That give me about 5 hours of sleep the second night.

A guy looking and acting like a drunk Mexican. First i honked till he stopped inches from my car. Then he backed up while i was taking the picture. Then he followed me on foot and asked me to go inside the Casino. Could he had a gun in his left hand? I called 911, operator asked me if i was on a private property like it was the biggest problem, while  he was leaving. About an hour later i figured  he might have been Tom Cruise.

Back to Eureka, the night before. Filter from the AC/heater in the room at Super 8 Motel in Eureka. After it took it off to wash it i saw the thermostat looked like it might have been damaged. Out of 5 nights spent on the road, i could sleep all night only in 2 rooms, the other where not acceptable.

The lumberjack and the blue bull on the side of 101 where i came back because of a landslide that delayed us about 3 hours. Later i saw next to it a Russian speaking family next to wooden life size bear. The man was simulating military step in the parking lot. BTW everywhere in Northern California i saw tucks with logs that looked harvested from burnt areas. Probably no need for permits or fight activists or anything.

Road block due to a landslide, a few miles north of that place.

Got in line, next to a empty school bus that was putting much diesel exhaust. I turned around and got in line one more time.

Area with the landslide. They were already working and had one lane closed on that road for at least one week, judging by the number of utility vehicles.

From there all the way to Lincoln city i saw many places with warning sign for "grooved pavement" which means bad worned out road. That highway needs urgent repair.

KGB, everywhere (i go). Here in the parking lot at the Mill casino in Coos Bay. Earlier i saw two Japanese guys disguised as Americans, on Harleys. Everywhere i've been in this trip all people i saw and spoke with, all cars with their brands and LPN, all logos, everything seemed part of a planned show.

After the episode with the "Mexican Guy" at Blue Lake Casino, i could not upload anything except one or two pictures until i got home.

I wish i didn't drink so much tonight. Hard to put together pieces of yet another puzzle. Finally figured the source of pain on my body here, at this apartment and difficulty breathing in the last few days. Sometimes in spring of 2016 after a walk at Tryon where we both saw a chunk of a redwood tree cut next to the trail, they came and added new mulch around the building. I lost those posts with the closing of g+. Have the pictures but it would take too long to search in the nearly 100k pics i have in the computer. Here is a more recent one from fb. I removed lots of it over the years, but there is still too much.
As one can see, it's red. When we went to California we saw in a park next to Eureka but also on the road some of these trees as thick of a small house, some 1500 years old. Almost contemporary with Roman Empire. I drove all afternoon and we got close to Eureka at night and was driving in a forest with what i thought they were small kiosks or houses or something but they were trees.

Redwood is a very hard wood as well and contains some toxic stuff that kills mold and bacteria. In other words it doesn't rot.

The mulch around the building contains also lots of dust probably from the process. I came with my hands in contact with it and it is very stingy. Tiny, invisible pieces get to your skin and hurts for hours or days.

Also there are areas where it never gets wet. One can assume at vibrations by cars with modified exhaust it flies and some gets inside. Actually, in the first year after they layed it there was so much inside that the water coming out of AC left a red residue on the patio concrete.

Lately i used a room AC in paritially closed circuit (hot output back at the input) which collects lots of water from air, in other words as a dehumidifier. It drips up to a gallon a day. It helps with the wet bulging floors after people are doing laundry and drying with the broken exhaust in the basement and smell of mold. But if i let it too much, under 40% humidity the invisible dust from the mulch start flying around and hurting.

Could this had been done intentionally, i would think so.

But the post is about something else. I wrote on g+ about Ahura Mazda, when i first heard about. It was the semantic coincidence with the car brand which prompted me tp write about.

Here are some of the pics in that post. First, a Nazi eagle pulled from water in... Uruguay.

Innana, ancient Babylonian Goddess

And here is one i saw today for the first time today

I saw that type of pearled beards before. They are Babylonian or Mesopotamian (below). The wings are also from Innana, most important Babylonian goddess, picture above. But the raised palm.

It's becoming pretty clear to me what Zoroastrianism is and why it still attracts. It is a combination of Babylonian and Indo European mythology. Even the name say. Ahura comes from Ur. Yasna probably comes from original Indo European birth place north of Black Sea, Yamnia Culture. However what's intriguing is Sintashta. Will leave that for later, obviously ran into something i wasn't prepared for.

Main reason i wrote this is the name Radu Mazăre. Last name in Romanian means peas and Radu could be the equivalent of Rod. Word in sanskrit for lentils is masUra.

मसूर

m.

masUra

lentil [Lens esculenta - Bot.]

But a loose anagram of the first and last names could lead to Ahura Mazda.

Zare în Romanian means Horizon and zori means dawn.

Then how about Zoran?

And his British with Muslim accent version?
