12:20 AM Would have been more than an hour ago. While i pulled out of Hwy 26 towards Boring i noticed a vehicle with very bright lights behind me. I went that route at that hour dozens of times and i never saw anybody behind me. It is a... Boring place. Unincorporated, with no police of its own.

12:35 Interruption. I was bothered by a cat poop smell, like last night. Went outside to check, a guy shirtless, curly, in shorts only (it's 63 degrees outside here right now) was talking using a low tone but strong voice with someone (a woman) on speakerphone and i thought i heard the word Security.

Ok so i got out of the freeway and i saw the bright lights and i thought my central mirror was on day mode so i tried to move it but then it became really bright and i turned it back on. It seemed like just another a...e with high beam and xenon bulbs behind me. At that point, Angela briefly turned the yellow flashing lights on to show it was bothering us.

Here came the 45 sign, then 35 and then 25 near "downtown" Boring. At each of them i slowed to like 5 above speed limit and that vehicle was still behind me. When the street turned two lanes and speed limit 55 i puled on the right lane and release the gas pedal waiting for it to pass me however it was matching speed. At that point there was no more high beam, but one of the headlights was out of adjustment so it was still bothering me.

When i got closer to the sign saying my lane ends, i slowed to like 20 however the cop turned the red and blue flashing lights on so i pulled on the shoulder.

I stopped, pulled the window down and started looking for the driver's license. She came at the window and started with "what are you doing man?" and i said "i'm trying to get back home" and then "i'm driving back home".

"But the way you were driving". And i said. "i slowed trying to let me pass because one of your headlights is out of adjustment and was bothering me, not knowing you were a cop".

Anyways a rather long conversation followed, maybe i'll write it all tomorrow, but in the end she said "i was doing 68 trying to pace you", though i never passed 60 and then she said i slowed down too fast, but she was in the other lane when i started to slow and then she switched lanes and started the red and blue lights. She would have had enough space to pass me before the sign.

Insurance was not current (they don't send us cards anymore, because they don't send us cards anymore and we forgot to print one).

It looked to me like she followed me several miles, probably starting in the freeway trying to catch me with something and since she could not, she just gave me the warning. As i left, i was telling Angela, she did not talk like a cop but like an actress.

Deja vu.

Deputy Ortiz seemed familiar. First i thought she was America Ferrera (41) but when i got home Angela started the TV and there was this woman at the news desk on CBS Anne Marie Green (54) who also kinda looked like her. But it couldn't have been her because... she was on TV at that hour! Or maybe her CGI counterpart. Or a recording done earlier. Or broadcasting from some location in this area.

I think she was hinting mainly at the fact that i slowed down too fast, to justify the accident 4 years ago.

Thinking on buying a new GPS that would explicitly record speed and coordinates that can be accessed immediately to show a cop or in court. This one does too but it puts out a file that cannot be readily interpreted.

1:37 Don't ask me how many hours a day i spend at the monitor.

1:40 Never saw Mt.Hood (3,428.7 m) barren of snow like this in 30 years. Also today September 24 temperature outside this building reached at least 88 F (31 C).

It looks like the cat poop under the stairs (for upstairs) i sterilized yesterday with UV light started to stink again so i just put it in a bag and took it at the dumpster. In there i found one at the very edge in an open bag directed outside the dumpster i could smell from near the car or at the entrance. I did not go to search further for new ones in the grass but i'm sure there are, i can smell them.
