10:13 Do i have to solve this mystery as well?

As i said in the summer of 78 or after admittance to faculty i went for a circuit trip (a long 1000 km loop on Romanian railroads) and i met a gentleman in Bucharest (had the contact from my adoptive maternal grandfather who was of course from Bucovina) who looked like Kirkulescu (age adjusted). Kirculescu was born in Romania but his looks and his most important piece are a lot like... Gershwin (And the theme following that piano solo sounds very Romanian).

I remember LOL i was in his living in Bucharest and he had this LP disk with Rhapsody in Blue visible in our sight and i asked him and he played it for us on his pickup (i was with two other guys from Campulung).
 
This composition is very well known to Romanians because a fragment of it was played for decades on public (and only LOL) TV channel every Saturday evening before a broadcast called Tele Encyclopedia, something similar with Discovery channel in the today's US followed by an American series, like Kojak or Dallas etc.. Here with the Lady in Red at the piano keys.

10:17 I went outside to smoke but the smell of dog poop was too strong. I went to the bin across the alley, but with no flashlight i couldn't see any. The whole area was flooded with perfumed laundry detergent anyways.

One Japanese looking guy came to check his phone next to the bin.

Then i went to smoke and i heard the "black" woman from the apartment across talking on the phone, with a non American accent. "He's f... old" and stuff like that.

There are two more days until my driver's license expires.

I tried to go and renew it before i went to Reno.

But then i realized they would have given me a temporary paper one which i could not have used at the self checking machine at the Peppermill hotel in Reno. So i postponed it until today. Today i wanted to go at the DMV in Lake Oswego which is smaller and supposedly less busy that then the closest in Sherwood. Google was showing less than usually occupancy for Lake Oswego, nothing for Sherwood.

Angela was supposed to work today until 3:30. I wanted her to go with me because i needed someone to tell me how i look before the picture (last time they got me mad and my picture came terrible).

However her schedule changed in the last minute and she came earlier after 2:30. I was not quite ready but we made it at Lake Oswego DMV at 3:38. However there was a sign right after the door saying they did not accept "walkins" for the day anymore.

First i though of going to Sherwood but didn't want to turn around on Kruse and 217 and i took the "long way" there on Boones Ferry, Terwilliger and then 99. I remember at 4 PM i was on 99 and at 4:15 ran into traffic on 99 past 217 and decided to turn around and go back home, i was too far too late for Sherwood. At home i got drunk and fell asleep (after the entry above at 6:06).

11:30 What do i see when i read the news tonight oh boy. Shin shin shin ghan.

12:00 Ran out of Pall Mall reds and i had some Lucky Strike that have a ridiculous amount of nicotine. According to this table, Pall Mall reds are supposed to have more nicotine but that is not true.

12:25 Upstairs she is marching since midnight.
