2024 April - 5% diary

It's a diary of my normal life, the 5%. Just posting my replies to the monthly newsletter questions between the family and cousins. Dragon comments are after, "in the record".

David -- 

Here in The Valley, it’s extremely difficult to survive without a car, but I stumbled on this article about a guy who moved to a new development in Tempe that is car-free. I found it fascinating. My only gripe is that they need to have a designated person in charge of a building cluster. See pic. You need a manager to resolve issues and do safety like a fire drill. The manager would live rent free and live in that cluster. They did this in the dorms at UC Santa Cruz. 

Would you consider living without a car? I have several times when I was at college. Once at UC Santa Cruz where we walked and took the bus. And at UC Davis where it was flat and I bicycled everywhere.

Is that even possible where you live? It would be possible now since the advent of electric bikes and carts. FYI. If you get an electric bike make sure it is a chainless digital drive bike or at least a belt drive. Here is a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-Zyp6jX0HM  No messy chain, just get on and pedal or ride. 

Is there adequate public transit available in your area? There is but you need to take it all the time to get used to it. 

 

From home to work at S&C Electric Co.

 Do you use or have you used public transit at least occasionally? Before I retired, I used to bike to Berkeley BART, Bay Area Rapid Transit (13 min), and BART to Oakland (20 min), then ride my bike to work in Alameda (12 min). Mind you, I had to carry the bike up and down the stairs because it was not allowed on the escalator, though starting this year you can now take your bike on the escalator. So it was a 50 minute bike and BART versus a 30 minute drive. See pic.

Any mass transit adventures or stories to share? Too many. On BART, anyone can come on the train, though most of the time it is quiet. One time I slept through my stop. Another time some homeless person had all their possessions on the train. Another time a homeless person had not bathed forever and it smelled like it. There have been folks who perform on the train asking for money. Homeless people would ride BART to have a safe comfortable place to sleep. 

 

In the record, the Gremlin: The three umbrellas and the clairvoyant was an interesting adventure. 

There was another adventure that I have yet to write about that happened when Ibol touched me

What should a city do to get me out of my car? Make transportation free. If you own a car/truck you pay an extra pollution tax which pays for the free transport for everyone else. Everyone without a car gets to use the city's electric bikes and carts for free. Have bike and cart hubs at the local transit hubs, e.g. BART or Amtrak, where you can always get a bike or cart. I am willing to give up a car, the insurance, the repairs if the city took it over. 

 

Did you watch any of the March Madness NCAA basketball men’s or women’s tournament games? Only the women's games I watched the highlights of was Iowa's star Caitlin Clark. It was amazing to see her shoot 3-pointers with ease.  Here is a vid of all her 3 pointers in the NCAA tournament: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKowlffXvGQ&t=19s  And she was excellent on assists also.

Will you watch the NBA championship games? I only watch the Golden State Warriors and only the highlights. Let's face it Steph Curry changed the sport of basketball forever.

Are there any other sports that you like to watch, such as baseball, hockey, tennis, rugby, golf, etc.? The only other sport I am following is Shohei Ohtani on the Dodgers. He is another person who has changed his sport.

What is your favorite sport? You know, I don't have a fav sport. I prefer triathlons versus baseball. Maybe fencing which I took at UCSC.

 

Cool pic.

Did you view the April 8 solar eclipse? No.Though some friends in North Caroline sent a pic. See pic. 

In the record, another eclipse post is here:  Eclipse 

In the record, planets and moons overlapping each other allows for transit.

 

What shows are you watching/streaming/binging lately? Okay, so I am slow. I will admit that. See pic. I have rediscovered that my 75" TV/monitor I got with the relief money in 2021 is a 4K device. 4K! Bonanza! Why am I not streaming movies! The first one we did was Oppenheimer just this last Saturday. The kids and I watched it once. I watched it two more times. The third time I keep stopping the movie to Google who is what to understand the back history of what happened to Oppenheimer. It is nice to be able to stop the movie and go to the bathroom or get a snack or just stretch. The next ones are Barbie then Everywhere Everything All at Once. And I always binge watch anime and dash cam videos.

 

And lastly, what have you been up to? Well, I was going to talk about a project, until I found out today that our mortgage was sold from Snapfi to PHH mortgage. So I Goggle PHH and find out that they are the worst. See pic. What am I supposed to think when the first review says, "RUN don't walk from this company." There are 13 reviews rated at one out of five. One person said that they would have rated them 0 if it existed. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I am a good person. I have paid my mortgage on time all the time. Why am I being punished? I know that I should not judge them from other reviews, but I just got the news that the mortgage was sold April 1st, when in fact the notice arrived today. Not a good start. I have become religious now and pray to the Lending Gods to spare my soul. Amen!

Stay safe everyone! 

 

 Fun Fact:

Well, the house we used to vacation at in Bisbee is now an invisible house.

 Update: 

Climate change - Taking Earth off Autopilot

The above title and map are from the SF Chronicle article https://www.sfchronicle.com/weather/article/earth-record-hottest-year-california-trend-18597077.php

 

As I look at the temperature map, I am still amazed at the mini ice age in the southwest USA. I always thought that the Salt Flat of Utah would be a good place to load up with water. I looked closer and realized that the Salt Flat are in the flood zone. See pic below. 

Picture is from here: https://www.sltrib.com/news/environment/2024/02/05/effort-regrow-utahs-vanishing-salt/

Then the weather avatar agreed with me. I get a thought impression to make the existing ice age bigger. As I looked at the map I see that Bisbee, AZ would be a good location.  Up north, I think that the Lava Beds National Monument would be a nice place to grow the mini ice age.  See the below pic. 

Two days later....

In the record,  I was pranked by two avatar Indian boys at the Lava Bed park.  They were trying to prank us at the park but we ended up scaring them instead. They finally got us back. Well done pranksters. The prank was to get me to mention them again and they won their bet. And to update their blog post. 

In the record, before I did the first post I added "updates" without thought. I have never done that before but it is a good ideal to have it there. When I added the "updates" they knew that I knew that the jig was up.

The new locations for the DM snow is Crater Lake and Huachuca Mountains. 

 

 

In the record, little did I know the southwest USA was in the middle of a megadrought. 

 

Update: 

2024 April 17 - redid map of new DM snow and in the record of the prank.

2024 March - Dragon Diary

 It is a diary of my daily experiences. If an event is important, it will have its own post...

"In my presence, your life will be warm." Gaia Mum

 

Overall -  I have noticed that the floor in my bedroom is warm. The floor has radiant piping which warms up by when I turn on the thermostat but I have not turned it on all winter. And it is warm. It should be freezing cold. I checked the boiler and it show no activity. I know my energy bubble has increased, but can it warm up water? In the record, the strands of Wiggle energy would increase in activity, maybe? In the record, I looked at the record and for some reason there was a lot of Gaia energy in the bedroom. 

- Walking is much better. To think that I have two arthritic knees and an arthritic left hip and I can walk again doing heel-toe steps.  I know I still have to do the show pony thingy. I have yet to look at why my feet felt like I am walking on air bubbles. This foot sensation had be going on for a year or so and I have yet to use my clairvoyance to look at it.

1st - Ladies for DEM came for a visit: Fire Elemental, Brown Earth matter, Green Earth Matter, GAIA Energy

The YouTube vid was from here: Understanding Schizophrenia | Leading Brain Expert Explains. It was posted at the Hearing Voice Facebook forum.

6th - Comments above are from the Hearing Voice Network about the YouTube vid. It is weird that the voice hearing community is seeking advice from non-voice hearers. As I mentioned in the comment, the non-voice hearing shrinks are just guessing with their 5% knowledge. 

In the record, I had a talk with above shrink. I politely asked that he be open to explanations that are beyond his books and teachings.

 

13th -  updated: 2024 January - Dragon Diary

15th - updated: 2024 March - 5% diary

 

Why medication for voice hearing does not work.

I just want to share with what I know.

The future of the human race is with voices.

 

18th - Comments above are from the Hearing Voice Network.

The voice world interacts with the human race in many different ways.

 

24th - Comments above are from the Hearing Voice Network.

The voice hearing organizations need to branch out and show the non-hearing folks that interactions with their voice is an everyday event.

 

27th - Comments above are from the Hearing Voice Network.

27th - Comment above is what I posted at various YouTube channel on DEM, Dark Energy & Matter. 

The YouTube links below:

 - Dr Sutter link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4flq2dryOc&t=8s

- Left the same comment at the Femilab lecture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUvVowd102g&t=2s 

- Long Now Foundation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBZtEi7e-xQ

- Sabine Hossenfelder: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GatiekRziok&t=1s
- Fraser Cain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjPggsJqoMk&t=1s
If the comment is hard to read it is also below:
The reason humanity has yet to interact with DEM, Dark Energy & Matter, is because the things we make are not imbued with DEM. DEM interacts with DEM. Yeah, it is that simple. There is good news though. We have DEM in us, on us, it is all around us. We can readily interact with DEM. Well, I know you are going to stay, "How do I know this?" I am a clairvoyant. So I reviewed a timeline of me riding a bicycle through the DEM on the ground it slices right through it. I have watched a BART train on a raised track punch a hole in the DEM ocean, and the ocean closes up behind it. Again, DEM interacts with DEM. The physical things we make are not imbued with DEM, therefore it will not interact with DEM. (Go ahead and delete this. Everyone else does. Enjoy your 5% life.)

In the record, it is not obvious why physicists have yet to interact with DEM? The physicists need to think outside of their 5% lives.  

In the record, all the comments are still there. So far it is lasting longer than the penis comment.

 

 

Hearing a voice's direction on Earth from their voice. Also, why the voice world is no better than the human world.

29th - Comments above are from the Hearing Voice Network.

2024 February - Dragon Diary

  It is a diary of my daily experiences. If an event is important, it will have its own post...

"Long time to see David. We need to talk." Princes Poodle.

In the record, I am in so much trouble with so many female avatars.

 

Overall - I know that I have to be a show pony. I still have not figured out how to disconnect my feet from gravity. As a walking tree, I would make brown Earth matter stilts while wearing a cloak of Green Leaf Energy. See the picture above. I am a dragon now with Gaia stilts and a coat of fire. it should be easy to disconnect from Earth? I still don't know. The minute I do and it goes public, my quiet life is over. In the record, humans are walking trees. As I said before, this is a Tree Galaxy.

11th - At the Sunday Voice World meeting a person came. They stated that they were from outside of this universe. I thought, "oh, okay". Then I tried to see if it was a dimension versus a universe location. But they insisted that they came from outside of this universe where our laws of physics did not apply and everything we good and beautiful in their universe. They stayed for half of the time. Then the subject turned to gravity and that I can see it and knew how it worked. They immediately left. 

Later in the week we would have mental conversation about them being in this universe. Then it happened. They closed a door at the edge of the universe. 

In the record, well, they were telling the truth. I try to not look at anyone in the meeting with my clairvoyance to preserve their unknown status of non-human.

In the record, I do know when a door closes at the edges of our universe, because I just happen to have a redheaded door on my flat. 

Zoo Hypothesis only considers 5% of everything

Link to the Sunday Voice World meeting is here.

14th - Facebook comments on Zoo hypothesis and when the Sunday Voice World meeting is.

Every human with a soul has a voice. Some talk, some don't.

I had gone into an in depth explanation of something that their voice did not want them to know. So my comment got deleted by them avatar hands on the keyboard. This is not unusual. It happen when I found out about heaven.

The voices can left the viewer room or use speech balloons.

There are lots of voice to talk to other then the ones assigned to you.

How to block out intrusive voices.

24th -

Link to the article is here.

25th - Oklahoma has a fracking issue. In the record, The golem races has full permission to cause minor earthquakes to stop the humans from dumping the wastewater in their land under ground where they live.

2024 February - 5% diary edititorial correction about AI

It's a diary of my normal life, the 5%. Just posting my replies to the monthly newsletter questions between the family and cousins. Dragon comments are after, "in the record"

 

I decided to make this a separate post because I need folks to understand the limitations of AI. 

Below is an editorial correction I had added to the February newsletter about GPchat AI. 

Editorial corrections by David: 

A newsletter ago I labeled AI programs as evil. Well, that is not true especially since I use AI programs for pattern recognition all the time. 

In the record, I stated that AI GPchat was evil because it forced people to view trauma to label it trauma so it do not come up in a search. The repercussion is that it started to create trauma in the folks viewing the trauma.  

 

To the right is me using Google Lens to identify the plant that is growing from the bird seed. 

AI programs are good for reading QR codes,

And the AI program I love the most is the grammar and spelling one. 

All the above is pattern recognition. 

 

For creative content, AI program can’t do it. Whether it’s creating a story, picture or movie, it fails. 

It’s a subtle fail, as though something is not quite right. 

The first time I recognized it was in the Captain America movie where special effect made a skinny young  Captain America. As I watch that scene the voice and the body did not match. It was subtle but something was wrong because the voice was not coming from the body.

 

In the record, back in August 2023 dragon diary I talked about a sexy AI Asian lady look like a Frankenstein cut and paste picture.

How I know something was made by a human is that the creator has put a part of their soul in the creation which AI program lack…for now. 

 

in the record: FYI. You can train animals to see what has DEM versus an AI creation. Dogs or parrots would work. In fact, all of nature see's DEM, but for some reason we were left out of that benefit, though we, humans are a part of nature.

2024 March - 5% diary

It's a diary of my normal life, the 5%. Just posting my replies to the monthly newsletter questions between the family and cousins. Dragon comments are after, "in the record".

David --

The bittersweet meeting of perception and reality… Summer vacations away from the Bay Area. Summer vacation in Hawaii was hot and humid. Summer vacation in the St Louis area was hot and humid. Summer vacation in Switzerland was hot and humid. The reality I have come to experience is that the temperature and humidity in the Bay Area makes it a perfect place to live. Yes, I retired to be on permanent vacation in the Bay Area.

A mention about the walks to the playground that Mom used to supervise. To kill time as a kid on those walks, I would pick up some of the small bird feathers off the ground and put them loosely cupped in my hand. Then I would put my hand up to my mouth and pretend to cough and the feathers would go flying out just like that cough medicine commercial in the 1960s. Nah, commercials never influenced my life...LOL.

In the record, below is what I originally wrote but decide to only include the 5% life.

The bittersweet meeting of perception and reality… Well yeah, my clairvoyance and voice hearing. Normally, I don't talk about  this part of my life in the newsletter, but if Mom asks, she gets what she asked for. If folks are interested in my work with the avatars go to my blog here: https://www.thevoiceinsidemyhead-myavatar.com/2015/01/  The bittersweet meeting of perception and reality is how that voice hearing community has accepted me.

I remember the first voice hearing meeting I went to I brought a small white board and markers to help explain how the voice world works. As the meeting progressed, the only desire of the attendees was to get rid of their voices. I felt completely out of place because I was working with various voices, a.k.a. avatars, to help change our world. 

Another example, the voice hearing congress is doing an event on how the voices have caused trauma in the voice hearer's life. I submitted a proposal to discuss how to use the DEM, Dark Energy & Matter, that we have in and on us to fix the trauma without therapy. They were not having any of that. 

I remember going to a physics forum to help explain how gravity works because I can use my clairvoyance to see it. No go there.

Being the premium clairvoyant on Earth gets me nothing other than several hundred blog views a week from all around the world.  Mind you, not one comment. I continue on knowing one day I will have the bittersweet smile of saying, "I told you so."

Any new weather stories.  The two that I can think of are the vernal lake in Death Valley and the Trinity Lake watershed snow pack. Rare opportunity to kayak in Death Valley National Park

 

In the record, I asked the weather avatar if the vernal lake is going to be an annual event, and he said that it is a 50/50 chance. 

In the record, why is a large percentage of Earth's fresh water locked up at the poles. Perhaps it is time we had it back. 

In the record, I mentioned the Trinity watershed because it was not part of the original restoration by the weather avatars. They have now fixed it.

 

Both are covered in this YouTube video here and below:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3wbOqBTi_M 

 

The TimeBomb website is about California water issues from an engineer's perspective. Yeah, set the view speed to 1.5 to get through it.

And the snow pack is up with more snow to come. 

In the record, the weather avatar is still good their excellent work. 

Are you a snow person or do you like snow at a distance? I used to go to the snow all the time. But my two arthritic knees and left hip ended those fun times.

Pi Day March 14^th…what is your favorite pie? The pies that Sandy brings are good. The only pie that I used to like eating was a pecan pie. But due to the amount of sugar in pies, they have all gone to the wayside like ice cream. Yeah, I need to avoid that sugar in everything.

March 21^st…Common Courtesy Day - serves as a reminder of the behavior that keeps society from melting into a sea of madness. In addition, the day brings awareness to how crucial common courtesy is in our lives and provides examples to help us improve.  What is your favorite Common Courtesy? I like to bow with praying hands to thank someone. It's quick, direct, and avoids COVID touching.

Any special Easter stories or special meals or desserts? Yeah, the Easter egg hunting dog, Copper. So there we are in Sacto for Easter and we are all stuck inside because of the rain. So we take turns hiding the eggs inside and low and behold, Copper starts collecting eggs in his mouth as the others were also looking for eggs. Copper must have found a half dozen eggs that Easter and did not break any he found.

In the record, I usually let Ibol be me for Easter. She likes looking for eggs and all the fun games that come from being with the family. I decided to be Copper the dog. Yes, the dog. It is not odd that all of a sudden Copper was this fantastic egg hunting hound. 

In the record, there is a portal between here and the dog planet. Also, I am married to Princess Poodle of the Dog planet. Asking a favor from Copper the dog to be them for the day was just fine. 

 

The Olympics are coming up soon.  I guess the four new sports that they are adding could be exciting. The four new sports are Skateboarding, Surfing, Breaking, and Sport Climbing. I always like watching the Olympics.

Any special plans for Easter or trips?  I guess I will go up to Sacto for Easter weekend. Cya soon Mom, Mike, and Steve.

As always…how is your life going? Slow. Rain and more Rain. Sour grass (in my backyard) is blossoming.

 

The only project I did with Ben other than clean up after the rain was clean the machines, a.k.a. single purpose robots, and drains in the house. 

 

For the LG side washing machine, we drained the water and cleaned the filter. Then I popped in an Affresh tablet and set the washer on the clean setting to freshen up the washer. For the dishwasher, I put the Glisten bottle between the pegs and set the dishers on sanitize. For the oven, I took out the racks and I set it on the self clean. I vacuumed up the ash after it cooled. On all the drains, I cleaned out the black slime that builds up with a wire brush. The one you see pictured is used to clean out 1/2" drill holes in concrete.

So I did a "Dad" the other day and started to shout at the TV, but not about sports but about heavy towing. So why did I start watching the heavy tow truck stuff? I remember back in the old Fauland's house in the back room, Pat's hubby, Joe, talked about some of the difficult operations of moving a wreck. That piqued my interest, so I taped a few of the "Highway from Hell" series on the Weather channel. These folks are pros doing real time physics with large wrecks that weigh multiple tons. After watching a dozen of them, I thought, hey there is this other show called "Highway 401" about heavy tow trucks. After watching just one, I started to do the "Dad" talk to the TV. For example, "No, what are you doing?" or "Let gravity do the work" or "Tow it out the way it came in" or "Just flip it. Why are you lifting it." or "You need to watch the other show." It turns out these tow truck drivers have modern trucks with rotator booms. They think they can just lift everything up instead of using a tow line. On the show, they are causing their truck to almost tip over all the time. I remember in one episode, the operators were looking at the instruction chart embossed by the controls to figure out what to do. Really. It is a little late to be looking at the instructions when you are about to lift a wreck. So, I have a new direction in life. I want to be a heavy wrecker....LOL.

Hey everyone, be safe, stay dry, and Happy Easter.

 

 I also include fun facts in the family newsletter:

 

Origin of odd Berkeley motto is here.

 

  

 

Update: 

2024 March 15 - added Prince Poodle to the Easter story.

2024 February - 5% diary

It's a diary of my normal life, the 5%. Just posting my replies to the monthly newsletter questions between the family and cousins. Dragon comments are after, "in the record".

David --

Who are you cheering for in the Super Bowl? The 49ers. I watched the highlights and it was an excellent game. Watch the last three minute at least. The last play of the game was brilliant. It had to do the other team losing track of the player who caught the winning touchdown. See video.

What was your favorite Super Bowl game? A sport commentator said that the 13th bowl was excellent to watch. See video. As mentioned in the last newsletter, the current football is a clean man sport versus the mud and grass of the previous times.

What do you think of the Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce romance as a part of the Super Bowl? As my cousin mentioned, what a great way to advertise football to a wider audience.

Speaking of romance, who is your favorite love couple as humans? Tay and Trav. as fiction or fantasy? in a book? and why? In the Lord of the Rings book, The Silmarillion, Lúthien's elvin romance with the mortal man Beren always caught my imagination. I mean, how does that work. Let says I feel in love with an immortal being. I know my soul is immortal. So I guess I would keep coming back in a new body to start it all over again?

In the record, I am in love with my voice, Ibol. She is a young teen girl back on Venus. And she is immortal. I am mortal. How do we stay together from here on out?

 

 

What is your favorite valentine gift? Chocolate, because it is likely that she would share it with me.

What is your favorite chocolate of all time? Guittard

What is your favorite dish that has chocolate? Mocha Chip ice cream from Tucker’s in Alameda which had Guittard chips in it. Most excellent, though I have given up on eating ice cream to reduce my sugar addiction.

Include any football or valentine stories. Dad was so fanatical about football, to the point that, if you stepped in front of the TV while the game was on he would tell you to get out of the way. This also killed any desire to watch the game since he was so possessed on watching it. In the end, he stopped watching pro football and only watch college football because it was the true nature of football for him.

As always, what is going on with you? It is raining a lot, which slow projects but allows me to hibernate. The bears got this right.
The house does not have gutters, but I still had to climb the ladder clear the roof valley. It is so nice to not have gutters that the Redwood tree clogs up.
My son holds that ladder as I hooked into the eye bolt for the safety harness.
I am also changing my diet in the pursuit of the best bowel movement. Yes. When you get older you get tired of those every changing turds that are hard to wipe up. With my new Mex-Irish burritos, (see pic) everything is coming out just fine.
Speaking of toilet, I replaced my ball float with the Korky complete platinum kit was easy to install and the instruction video was excellent. The tools were minimum, and it was good to get new gaskets on all the connection points. Stay Dry Everyone.

 

 

 A very useful video that explain both ways to open stitched bag. Finally those bird seed bags open easily.
