1:15 AM Angela fell asleep and then she got awakened by the smoke and started to cough. Smoke was coming from around the corner, or under the window of next door apartment. I put a bit of cement in the soft, sinking areas, mixed with the soil and then poured some water.

1:45 Ok she's back to sleep.

I'm so smart. Today i went on the road and forgot the camera. But i noticed lately that if i put the phone on airplane mode it does not emit any microwave. Smart again. Like George Costanza in that Star Trek episode with the Think Tank.

So when i needed to i just pulled the phone and made photographs. When at home, i pulled the micro SD (after i transferred the pics in there), put it in my card reader and voila.

Since i carry the phone everywhere with me for emergencies, turned off, now i discovered i don't need to carry the pocket camera with me anymore. And it does pretty good pictures too (the reason i stuck with Motorola) (there was very bad lighting when too those below).

I wanted to go in there to take the pictures. I mean, look for yourself. Though i said it the other time, nobody paid attention.

As i said, there is an overflowing sewer in the back of the casino, near the alley that leads to the stairs and beach. The sewage goes in the nearby bushes all the way to the stairs and stinks there on a large area. Though it looks clear, it stinks badly.

I think it has been happening for years. All the free nights i stayed at the hotel on the right. I was running from one stink here just to get in another one there. In the building D or closest to that alley i had to wash the screens every time because they had a stinking green stuff, similar to the one on the alley on. I used to believe it was algae something.

But there was smoke. Every time, beachgoers would light fires and the hotel was surrounded by smoke. But this spring when my ban ended, i discovered it.

I noticed for a long time. Our clothes, the car, everything were not smelling like the ocean when we got home ever since we go there though the casino is next to the ocean.

I don't know what causes it but i would assume  the sewer line is clogged or partly clogged and it cannot empty in that cliff next to the stairs anymore. Or partly closed. I don't know but i know it stinks everywhere in the parking lot, depending on how the wind blows, possibly into the casino's AC and along the beach for maybe a mile.

I stopped drinking and smoking after i went to the doctor and never been nauseated since. But after i took the pictures i got it so bad i was dizzy with nausea. I finally took two charcoal caps and was good again.



10:40 There is a huge rumble outside. Like cutting and milling trees again?

Yeah i'm pretty sure i would not have discovered it if i didn't go to smoke in that area. Just by passing by while briefly visiting the Ocean when at the Casino would not have been enough. Especially if there's beach fires with smoke going on. I've done that so many times and never realized probably like so many others. You go there to relax and the unthinkable is just around the corner.

10:55 I am sorry i did not write about the guy who was upstairs earlier. Came on foot, left on foot, made a big commotion and left when i uploaded the file. Now there's someone else (or him again) stomping really heard, trying to bring in here sewage smell from between the floors.

12:25 Came from my walk, passed the gray truck pickup with garbage, picked a dry one from the ground, went to the bin, they were three more in blue open bags, heavy. I threw two of them but the one on top i could not get. Three people looking Japanese, good looking, trained actors, came smiling with disgust and got i think in the red car next to the bin. Nauseated.

2:10 No matter who was climbing the stairs, over the years, i can recognize only one step which is present most of the time. It never stops, for hours. It's the woman at 4.

2:45 Second day of losartan. Had 180/100 in the morning when i woke up and 136/84 a few minutes ago after a walk and a nap at the computer. I don't believe it's the losartan but hard to say. In the doctor's office i had 160/100, twice, and the nurse said something about 120/80 probably being the target, can't remember and the "dictation AI software wrote" i had 160/80 once and 120/80 the second.

They just awoke me from upstairs after the nap. Then it went silent, and i heard a noise like somebody is trying to key in the door, 5 minutes too early to be Angela coming home. That was like 20 minutes ago and it is still silent.

On Mondays there is a guy with a red pickup who officially scavenges the bins to pickup furniture and stuff. Then it blows around with an electric blower. Buy disturbing all the sacks, it pulls stinking sacs from the bottom and then blows the smell.

During my walk, i cross the hospital parking lots to get away from the smelly traffic. All of a sudden, like scheduled, at every intersection i meet with cars that slow down to a stop, usually populated with women of all ages that seem just coming out of from a make-up cabin and not really driving the cars (self driving, retrofitted).

Usually at the beginning of the walk, i am lazy and shy and usually too nauseated to take the actual pictures, but i took pictures with two of the many intersection cross just to remember to write.

Only after i cross all those i fully awake. One more pic from a different angle with the tracks of the car that plowed through the grass in front of the complex. What a weird way to park a lime. There was a woman passing on the other sidewalk and had to wait until she went out of the picture while cars where piling behind me at the intersection. I know what they are trying to do. They are trying to frame me like i am doing all these things to complain and blackmail others. There are other things i am hesitating to write about.

4:05 Made a salad and put some eggs in the pan. 6 kids came here with a ball, some 10 ft away from the windows/sliding doors. Some were filming so i just shut the blinds.

4:30 I heard them last hitting the ball about 5 minutes ago. As we finished eating, they went. It's a repeating pattern, though not every day but now it restarted since the weather is better.

5:35 I went and tested the idler pulley and alternator pulley (upper right). They bot got plays and need replacement. Amazing  how easy is to deal with the serpentine belt on a car with tensioner (left). You push a 17 mm wrench one quart of a turn against the spring and release the belt. However the belt does not need replacement. I would think i could replace both the alternator with the idler pulley in about half hour and they together cost about 220. That hurts.

6:00 Kids have left, place filled with smoke. This time i don't know where it's coming from.

8:10 Got to write this one down too. I went earlier at the bins cause it was smelling. There was an open blue bag behind the SW one however the bin. But there was this white SUV guarding it. So i went back but could not squeeze in the back of the bin because the way the bin is positioned.

So i remembered i had a long grabber i once bought for retrieving tools and parts i loose around car (actually i think it was a dead mouse or dead mice pieces in the fan's box). But until i could find it they thought of something. Or maybe it was all written down before. They sent in the new red headed kid i saw in the back today with a brown bag and the kid threw the bag on top of the blue bag and the blue bag was barely visible and the brown bag content was spilled.

By searching for the post with the dead mouse, i found something else. When i first bought this car, i had pounds of dog food in the heater fan.

So i picked the blue bag from under the brown bag easily but i was so mad i did not aim right and threw it next to the bin. I went and picked it up and put it in the bin as a white SUV passed.

For a casual observer who did not see the blue bag at first, it would appear like i went and picked the blue bag from the kid's brown bag and threw it next to the bin. If the white SUV had a camera on it would have caught only the part when i threw the bag and missed, not the one i picked it and threw it in.

BTW they threw three big bags next to the North bin, in retaliation for my picture above.

There is one positive conclusion from all these though. The red haired kid is the kid of the guy with shorts i saw last week with two dogs and blue bags in a pouch at his belt and he is the one who throws the bags so precisely on top. From the direction the kid was coming is... i'll go look.

While the fact they come with dogs around my apartment (not throwing their droppings) is written in the lease agreement as everybody can use "the common" areas, kids have a designated playground and should not be here and everywhere unsupervised, for hours. Earlier i heard again a roller board on the asphalt which again i don't believe it's ok. Not talking about yells that can be heard from one end to the other of the complex.

11:34 I think i figured what could be the reason they needed the apartment upstairs and any adjacent to ours not heated in winter. So the heat in their apartment won't interfere with their IR locating/visualizing devices (the way they know what i am doing and where i am). Today for the first time in years i thought i heard the in wall heaters and fridge upstairs.

If one wants to understand better the nature of my problems, better read Kafka or Clavell.
