Walking to S’s room. Hear a noise, open the door. A black figure assaults me. I stumble down the hall, wake up.

At 30700, looking out the back porch. A cat comes and I close the door. A bunch of kids come by and I yell about the gang they’re in. They leave.
March 25th, 2021
Walk into some restaurant, pick up some food, talk, leave, big march towards me on Broadway. Try to find my bike.
In a living room, looking at a record cutter being used as a dictaphone by Trump.

In an outdoor market. Walk up the first aisle. Look at the fruit. Go to the end and someone is taking limes off a tree. Walk back and pick up some stuff. Walk to the other aisle-it’s food and other stuff. They’re packing up, but there’s still exotic food out.

On a jumbo jet, sitting just behind the cockpit. I can see out half the window. We take off, then circle low. I’m steering, and we go up into the clouds. We come in low out of the clouds, and there are hills and a mountain in the distance. I think it’s Fuji, then I see a Japanese-style house, so it’s definitely Japan. Start coming in through houses, then land.
Leaving school, at a party. We’re getting ready to leave, and I’m sitting with Penny and Kris. I want them both, but Kris goes and starts doing some stuff for the party, and I don’t want to leave without her. Penny sits with me, then wants to leave. I’m torn.
March 15th, 2021
Sleeping in S’s room-we have guests. Get up, get ready for S to go to school. It’s 8:30 and she goes into the bathroom and gets on her tablet. I tell her to stop that and leave. She does. I go out to the kitchen and there’s a ton of food there. I look through it. 2 guys come from the bedroom singing.
At some fair/festival. Walk through the booths. Go down to another place and try to climb up to get to the bathroom. It’s muddy, and I don’t want to get dirty. Give up and climb up there. Walk in and it’s nice. Go through another door and back to the upper level.
At church, but not mine. Walk in and sit down. Someone is getting healed and a boy wants to help. The adults say no, but he’s in training so he watches. They start babbling.

Up King in a plane, can’t make it all the way.
At AT&B, going to open a restricted cabinet to get wire transfer info for the account of a dead person.
March 10th, 2021
On Long Beach, turning onto Broadway from Alamitos, jammed up.
March 9th, 2021
Getting into a van/bus-there’s girls in there. Squeeze past them and down the spiral stair to another van and another. It’s very crowded. Finally get out and walk across the street. Walk around a curve-it’s slippery and start sliding towards a steep hill. Get down and carefully start trying to crawl without sliding down the hill. Make my way back to the street.
March 8th, 2021
Moving. Drive down a small country road. Stop at a parking lot. Walk over and the police are searching the moving trucks.
March 7th, 2021
In bed, start sinking down. It’s dark and there are others around. I can feel that I’m merging and stop it. See images of symbols and the others.
March 5th, 2021
Walking towards the beach. A huge n-shaped drilling rig turns in front of us and goes down the highway drilling holes. We follow them and get under the rig.
March 4th, 2021
At the sink, washing my feet. Pull off some fluff, them some more. It’s from my socks.
March 3rd, 2021
Walking to an onramp-a lot of people are. Try to go up a hill, but there’s a fence in the way. Go back and walk across a bridge-it’s narrow and there are cars.
All quiet…in that quiet earth.
Please tip the writer. Whatever amount you like-every little bit helps, and I’ll do a shoutout. We are always short of cash, especially with a big mortgage. Let me know if you or someone you know needs web design/development-my rates aren’t bad, and I’m more than pretty good at it. Java/database/AWS/UI too. ThankYouVeryMuch!
Well, an almost 2 month span. Been a lot going on, but still in the holding pattern of ‘rona. At least we have a mellower presidency. Not going to say much-seems to have lost some intensity.
Friday evening, 1/8. Boy, what a week! Who knows where this ends, but it’s not entirely surprising. Fanatics will do anything to keep their worldview intact, and when someone eggs them on, bloody massacres and genocide results. No shortage of examples. Just gotta make sure you’re not caught in the crossfire.
Sunday evening. Got stuff done. Got a nice bottle of champagne for the 20th and a small absinthe-so intense. M got a small bottle of bacon vodka and some bloody mix. So much political mess.
Tuesday noon. Got a Warcraft-ish app, busy playing that. The endless photo sortation is almost done. Need to load more music on my phone too. C’s laptop is dying. Parler got dumped from AWS, and everything got scraped. Can’t figure out how to get to the data, though-it should be on archive.org…but it’s not.
Wednesday afternoon. Politics is looking like the waning days of Nixon’s term-Repubs are running away from the Prez. The FBI is def. going after people. The only difference this time is that the base is not budging from their brainwashing. Not surprising, that-during Nixon’s era, this utter loyalty and broad based fanaticism didn’t exist. A consequence of Fox News and their ilk, social media, and the hardening of political boundaries.
Thursday evening. Working on the last photo task-longish one too.
Sunday afternoon. Continuing the last photo task.
Tuesday evening, sitting in bed, hanging out with wife. Getting through the last pics, need to write a bitty app to randomize the names to they’re not all in the same place. Then it’s finishing up the music. Waiting for dinner to cook. Got all the tidying done yesterday, work today-didn’t want to get up. Inauguration tomorrow-it’s at 9, so can’t drink anything much-mimosa and cheap splits.
Dinner is over, time to clean up and do the bedtime thing. E is in the bath-we’re watching endless Call the Midwife. Waiting for the next boat race-the Yanks put a big hole in their boat Saturday. Also waiting for my left pinky nail to fall off-bashed it awhile back and the new nail is coming in.
Thursday evening-1/21. Just finished a day-long deployment, rework, redeploy, and rerun tasks. My eyes hurt. E had a bad day-vertigo, bad dreams. Yesterday was super nice-up early to watch the inauguration from bed, mimosas with cheap bubbly. Work, then dinner-prime rib, potatoes, brussels sprouts, and absolutely amazing champagne-a 2010 Joseph Perrier Esprit De Victoria brut rose. Haven’t had that level of quality since London in the 80’s… Watched C-SPAN with S later into the night-Pres. & VP laying a wreath at the Unknowns with the other 3 Pres’s that are worth something and able to travel, 21-gun salute, driving back to the WH and walking the last bit, walking up the stairs of the Capitol beforehand. C-SPAN is so awesome because no commentary. Q folks are melting down.
Tuesday 26th, midmorning. Noon. No time yet to do this. Tuesday evening. Maybe later? Didn’t happen. Wednesday midday-not much going on. Didn’t do much over the weekend-cleaned our bathroom and that’s it. Need to do laundry. Dr’s Monday-got my growth frozen off, and a bunch of blood taken-looks like my cholesterol is elevated. BP too. Getting caught up on Snowpiercer. Watching skiing. And…they offered me full-time at work! We’ll see if they take my salary offer (didn’t, but got a little extra at the start).
Monday morning. Afternoon. Wednesday morning. Played my guitar last night-mostly old 70’s rock-that old girl has fabulous tone. S was curious and played a little after I was done. Lazy weekend. Took Friday off-we went down to Woodburn and got new Converses. Got in-n-out too. Went to Fry’s on the way home-they’ve blocked off half and rearranged things, but it was still deserted-I found out that they’re selling everything on consignment, which is insane.
Saturday afternoon (2/6). Up late, slept in. Tidied. Sunday afternoon, watched Mission Impossible 2nd season last night, had a whiskey sour, meeting today with S’s teacher. Laundry, lunch, needed a nap, didn’t get it. Some sportsball thing today.
Wednesday morning, making coffee. Now noon. Thursday afternoon-they’re saying it’s going to snow-no snow yet.
Friday morning-it’s snowing. About 2 inches on the ground. A layer of ice underneath.
Tuesday afternoon (3/2). I’ve really been slacking on this. I have no idea what happened for the past 2 weeks. The snow/icepocalypse, working, getting ready for FTE, that’s about it. We got Android tablets and E is returning hers after 1 day. Been on and off with tidying and cpap. Talked to my sleep doc. Maybe I should call this.
Links/viddys-brighter side.
Not so bright: don’t even want to go there (especially now).

Walking down a hill with Vecchio family. I push John, and he’s upset. I start doing the Earache My Eye bit, and he’s happier. Go up to a schoolroom, clean up with some others. Start looking at a computer that changes into a smaller one. Fiddle around with it. The owner comes in and looks at the computer. He goes away and comes flying in on a building-out of control. He crashes into things-I’m trying to stay out of the path. He circles and finally lands. His sister is there and going on a “date”. We go into the shower so I can make sure she’s ok. I soap up my hands and help her out. She hugs me and I’m aroused-she says so and I say why.
February 23rd, 2021
Playing in a field. Drop something and it breaks into sand. Start picking up the pieces. One of the glass bits cuts my big toe. I go to clean it out, wash and bandage it. There’s nothing to do it with so I start to walk down the hill.
February 22nd, 2021
At a kite thing. Walk over to where the people are sitting. Todd Rundgren is there and singing “International Feel”.
February 19th, 2021
Walking through a school building. It’s tight and full of stuff. Make my way down to the ground floor where the gamelan room is. Loren is there and we look at the people playing in a small recording room.
February 12th, 2021
At Grand Cayman, go into the new big library/bookstore. Look around, take some books, then put them back. Walk around, see Rick Klaus. Leave, go to another building, climb the stairs to go to a restaurant/bar. Walk back down the stairs, it’s actually Milwaukie.
