11:31 PM I was one hour into the trip Portland-Canyonville, 190 miles. I was doing 75 in a 65 like everybody else. Talking about everybody else. Got into a jam right after leaving Portland. Got stuck near a semi with the brand May Trucking for about 15 minutes.

Basically i had behind me most of the time someone too close though the traffic was pretty relaxed. They just liked to stay there. I moved out of the way about 10 times but guess what. They went and started to push the next one. Never understood why. They could probably gain a few seconds per mile.

Yeah this image taken from the mirror would have made sense at 20 or 30 mph. But at 75?


As i was saying. I was doing 75 in a 65 when i saw a dust devil on the field on the right. I started to (excruciatingly slowly) to pass a semi. From behind, a small red car was approaching fast. How fast? He was probably doing 90. Could not get out of the way, i tried to accelerate, i think i was in a slight slope, the car would not respond quickly.

Finally i caught some speed, at 85 he was still glued to my derriere. So i finished passing the semi, moved out of his way on first lane in front of the semi and slowed back to 75 when i felt like i was hit by something. Very quick. Left-right. Or right-left. Seconds after i took the first picture with that guy. I figured it was another dust devil but an invisible one, right on the surface of the freeway (no dust). Wondering what would have happened if it caught me doing 90 when i was pushed by that crazy.

But guess what. He himself was pushed by another guy from behind. Maybe. Whatever.

Within the same minute i caught another dust devil on camera.

But why? Is the nature, the Universe or the kami all conspiring against me to cover the story with dust and s...t i left home for this weekend? See what i'm talking about? That building is deserted, they got furniture and stuff at the monster apartment but no one really lives here, like in the whole complex, they just show from time to time.    

10:15 Last night had big trouble falling asleep and was awakening each time with apnea. Then i found a big through hole in the wall in the bathroom, behind door, about one square inch in size. Was previously taped (probably by a customer) and the tape has been removed. Numerous uncaulked (never caulked) areas everywhere. There are 5 recessed light fixtures and three sprinklers, all with big uncaulked gaps around. Fell asleep and slept maybe 5 hours.

It  probably wouldn't be such a big deal if it wasn't for noise and/or slammed doors.

Base from music outside and even talking aloud would vibrate the paper thin wall, make the content spill inside.  Not talking about slamming doors like right now. Was curious about one thing (nothing about sulfur dioxide soaked dust leaking from the wall into the room).

10:36 When did i hear this BS the first time? 20 years ago? From China only? "Sulfate, a component of gypsum". Synthetic or not, "drywall" has the same incurable chemical formula. Calcium sulfate is the only component of gypsum.

All drywall leaks sulfur dioxide. An old leak is not that bad cause it has vented and the concentration inside wall is low. Problem is with sealed areas where there is a new leak.

11:35 I started to get sleepy, was thinking to go get more sleep and then i looked above from where i slept last night. There are 7 light fixtures like this, installed inside ceiling with no caulking. I think this area of the hotel is fairly new or newly remodeled but this fixture is the worst. Right above bed where people try to sleep.

Thing is last night was feeling too tired to drink after a whole week of being exposed to dust and especially after last day with the base sound so i did not have one single drop of anything.

Maybe that was the reason why i did not look in the past and did not see those cracks and holes. When i was drinking i was usually falling asleep (or passing out whatever came first) and was awakened by the maids slamming doors and shaking/sprinkling dust on me.

4:25 PM There are seven of those lights in the room, like the Seven Suns in Buddha's sermon. Like the 7 Fathers or 7 Lucky Gods in Wa Shinto.

I have the proof the gas (aerosols, whatever) is coming from those holes. I covered the one on top of the bed with plastic foil and it became electrostatically attached to the ceiling and i slept two more hours. After that, it fell (should have added some tape, stupid) and the smell became apparent. I woke up in that smell, completely drained out of energy, like it was kryptonite. Can barely walk.

How many times i got sick in this hotel, lately, running for Angela on the casino floor?

4:50 That curved light fixture could also represent a fishing pole, and i am the fish?

7:07 The Shinto worship the kami and their own ancestors. The founders of US Constitution are often referred to as the "Founding Fathers" while George Washington is shown as god on the highest point of US Capitol building and worshiped as a kami in a Shinto sect in Hawaii.

7:32 One slammed door that moved my head on the pillow... Two slammed doors that moved my head on the pillow... Three slammed doors that moved my head on the pillow... For one to understand how flimsy these structures are... It's exactly like at the apartment when they slam doors at cars, letting me have it...

8:11 Does the word communist have something to do with kami? (one big slammed door here).
