11:07 Last thing first. Came home about half hour ago. First i went to the locker to get a package. I was walking rather fast cause i was mad. There was a guy who came down the alley at the mailboxes and started to walk with me. Literally matching steps next to me. So i got even madder and ran a little to brake that sync and then i didn't see him behind me anymore.

Inside it is smelling like dog poop. So i went to check. I knew there was one near North Bin cause i saw it when we left. It took me a while to retrieve it, then i knotted it and threw it in the bin.

I looked for some more, the bin is smelling terrible anyways, but when i turned around i saw next to me a young girl, dressed summarily (it is 64 degrees right now here), like for a summer day,  looking sexy, with a sack rather big next to her, on the ground. There was not much room in the bin. Behind her, at the entrance, it was a guy, about the same age, 20-25, staring.

I think she was trying to explain to the big man she could not put the bag in the bin. Either because of me or the bin was too full. I was too engrossed by the smell and too mad from the drive and everything that happened today to be able to think like maybe she needed some help. And there was her boyfriend there.

I did not see her face but he looked like a bleached Japanese. Like the three guys playing with skateboards next to us in the parking lot at Indian Head when we where eating, getting ready to leave (around 8). Like i see more and more everywhere i go.

BTW Today we went at Kah-Nee-Ta as it reopened. After 6 years of renovations. I was telling Angela. 3 years was the pandemics and would have been shut anyways. I don't know, for some reason the place seems smaller to me today. They divided the pool into several smaller ones with different temperatures in it. They were lots of spaces called cabanas with shade and everythingyou should have paid for.

The free beds with no umbrellas made of very shiny pieces of wood i kept sliding being dressed in jeans. It was 95 degrees, wildfire smoke and could not get my clothes off because i have too many patches with antibiotics. Between 10 and 15 patches. I went into a corner looking for some shade from a tree. Under the wooden free bed there was a bottle with Smart water. Long and narrow.

After about one hour Angela came out of the pool, i went in the car, started the AC, ate some pizza, drank some soda. Some woman walked in front of me from the bridge all the way to her car. Then i came back. Next to me there was a group of guys speaking Spanish with a weird accent. Finally discovered the food place had AC inside but we were about to leave.

Then we drove ten more miles to Indian Head. Very few cars there, same smoke. But every person inside was participating in scenes around us.

Lately we lost a lot cause they never let us win. Cash machines did not work there, have to go to the cashiers with the tickets. Angela decided to leave and she was in line to get the bag with fish and chips when i saw an angry Mexican guy (this one seemed real) going through the casino with an empty bottle of water similar to the one under the bed at Kah-Nee-Ta and hitting everything in his way (chairs, machines, etc.). He then stopped and i looked at him and  he looked clueless, like somebody asked him to do that.

Driving back here was a nightmare. First was bullied by a guy on a motorcycle. That is driving too close behind. But after Mt.Hood the real stuff began. A couple of guys driving as race drivers. A semi going at the curves after Mt.Hood with a speed i could not match (was afraid to roll over).

A semi i passed earlier was coming matching my speed and getting real close. At some point i pulled on the right and let it pass (Boring or Gresham i think). But more were coming from behind. I let ten guys in SUVs passing me and then another one came from behind. Every face i could see behind the steering wheels was Japanese disguised in Mexicans.

Did not have 5 minutes during the whole drives (both way) to feel comfortable driving.

In my way there. After Mt.Hood. A truck like a semi but smaller with a short cabin and lots of space between cabin and the payload, where turbulence was created, was raising vast amounts of dust from the shoulder, creating something like dust devils. I had no choice but fall behind half mile. And he was going 50 or something.

Yeah someone somewhere today bent backyards and now i have some chest discomfort.

12:30. Don't know, about 15 minutes ago i went out to smoke and i saw a boy or a girl that started to run really fast on the alley. Like an athlete fast. It just occurred to me there might be a link between my run and his/her. Too big of a coincidence.
