Diary Entries (Ordered the new way, where new entries are at the top)


3/31/25 @

  • 11:29AM Cannot find my thermos. [Correction: 3/31/25, found it where I'd put it yesterday. My mistake]
  • 12:25PM Fire alarm going off again, I'd just replaced battery with Duracell, long-lasting, from CVS.

3/29/25 @ 5:10AM

  • Last night, heard that faint, near-continuous droning voice much of the night. Has been going on for several nights, though previously more sporadic.
  • My solar system has problems again (1) The 48V inverter, WZRELB, 4kW failed 2 days ago as I tried to use my miter saw, I'd been able to use it on my 36V system, though the battery (scooter) pack could not run it well, the 36V inverter was not damaged.
  • I found a smell of Bakelite yesterday night, coming from  the solar cart. I could not isolate it though I checked connections, components, heat sinks, battery packs. Tiurning off everything fixed the smell which dissipated after some m inutes. It may be coming from an overworked fan on the inverter, 36V.
  • The seller on eBay tells me the fan is always on when a load is present, I question that as it is on full all the time. The factory has not replied to 2 messages asking for explanation.
  • Saw Louise, my former seamstress, at CVS. She, after previous problems, had said she would not accept any more work from me., When, after greeting her as she came in the door as I exited CVS, I asked if I could bring her work, she replied yes.
  • A DVM I mused to measure temperature with its thermocouple probe a long time ago, does not power on.
  • I found a missing banana cable with alligator clips I'd been using to connect to panels when I make "solar" coffee outside, on a  bush just by my steps, it was intertwined with bush branches and might have stuck, brushed by as I moved panels.
  • Over a half dozen 3W LED bulbs I use to light, when connected to my portable USB/solar lamp, no longer work reliably. I'm keeping a collection of them in a box I dump them into as they begin failing. They were all new, unused.
  • The toilet bowl refills day and night at random intervals.

3/27/25 @ 7:43PM

  • Found my replacement handkerchief made from the jeans pocket lining.
  • Saw Mrs. 'Bell pickup a lamp I was donating, from the curb and drop it on the lawn by my solar panels as I sat working not six feet away. I said nothing.

3/25/25 @ 9:39AM

  • Problems taking pics with Sony "Bloggie" for a long time now. Today, tried to document illegally parked car of tenant Ms. Mumbles, she often parks on the grass between curb and light pole. Has done so for many months but never gets ticketed although I, in the past, did get one.
  • Found my gray sweater in unexpected place, my backpack, though I'm not sure if I didn't put it there.
  • My 36V inverter, bought new on eBay, has the fan on continually now, though I'm pretty sure it did not initially. Unusual for inverters to be on full fan even with minimal (50-100W) load, especially for a unit rated at 2000W. Seller: Reliable Power on eBay named Kayla, said it was normal. I sent another question to manufacturer. After a week, I got no reply. Send another, marked "2nd notice," repeating my question, yesterday.
  •  Found business card of LAPD officers Arrellano and Balatas, 41236 and 40851, given to me during visit on 10/25/24, at 11AM, incident #1839, when Mrs,. 'Bell or Saint Bernard called in a complaint about me. The card was filed in a folder I had not put it in, I had been missing it for some time.
  • A frequent refrain from Saint Bernard: "Go to mommy/Mamie," "Get out of my bed." etc.
  • Unable to login at Yola, neither with Brave or Firefox.
  • 6 of 8 LED USB 3W bulbs work sporadically when plugged into my USB battery pack though they work when plugged into AC USB adapter. They all worked at first but became unreliable after a day. New, never used.
  • At 15:37: Still cannot login to Yola web site though I restarted web browser.
  • At 16:10 After Ubuntu reboot, started Brave browser, ":Error: Connection timed out." Although I could reach Protonmail and YouTube.

3/24/25  18:30 Tyson's kids, both misbehaving in small ways. I ignore, turn my back until they're gone and remain silent.

3/24/25 @ 13:57

  • Found my battery charger. In an Akro Mills bin containing "Democracy Wall" [a project]items.
  • Mrs. 'Bell occasionally shouts something as  she walks by my [open] door, startling me.

3/22/25 @ 9:26 PM [Correction: 3/23/25]

  • I cannot find some small items, this is increasing in frequency. My gray washcloth, found on the lawn, I washed it and kept it for solar panel current regulation 3 weeks ago. It disappeared but I found it under my glass desk. A handkerchief, made from the pocket lining of some jeans. Possibly more items: my battery charger for NiCad AAAs, a branch for reading glasses, among others. I don't keep close track anymore, there are so many items involved.
  • People, as they walk by, mumble or whisper, often a single word, sometimes undecipherable, tenants and others.
  • Saint Bernard today was much more quiet, same with Mrs. 'Bell, though 2 nights ago, she had music on most of the night, until late, for hours. A monotonous, "thump and hum" music which went on for hours. Verbally, she's a bit quieter today. I saw her several times, talking, but not at the usual level or frequency. Sync noticed from both of them.
  • Last night, in bed, I heard some hum, low in frequency, repeated pulses, sounding odd.
  • Also, in the last days, a voice, maybe radio or TV announcer, very faint, unintelligible, monotonous; it went on for a long time and sounded odd. I heard it very late, past midnight, it continued for a long time and I cannot locate a source.

3/17/25 @ 9:06PM

  • A relatively quiet day, neighbors near silent. Unusually quiet, increasingly quiet for the last several days. Ever since Tyson's attacks and the lack of police response. I see him walking by, from time to time, no words exchanged though he sometimes mutters things as he does so.
  • Have not got firm prices & dates for the 3 extra copies of my book I asked Flintridge Bookstore to print. Also unable to get any replies from their employee, a Candyce Ha, when for the last months, I try to nail down specifics about the extra copies of "Schizophrenia Weaponized or my next boot, a compilation of emails and fliers, for which initial copy I've already paid the fee. Instead, emails go through Gail Mishkin, another employee.

3/17/25 @ 12:36AM

  • Day before yesterday, I tried unsuccessfully to take pictures of the finger operated on last year for removal of a benign mucous cyst, as it has become sensitive again. In 20 or so tries, I only got 2 or 3 pics and those unsatisfactory. A typical problem with this Sony "Bloggie," one I've repeatedly encountered since my cell phone, not with cell service anymore, stopped working.
  • My  rent check for March, made out and put in AFJ's slot for that purpose at their office on 3/5/25, still had not been cashed, as of yesterday.

3/15/25 @ 7:20PM

  • "Keep coming... All the way." Brother Cantinflas giving parking directions to someone leaving, he's just in front. I'm in living room, 25 feet away.
  • Found the gray washcloth I'd lost days ago, under my glass desk, lying on top of a box of ropes.

3/14/25 @ 9:41PM

  • Very quiet today, as with yesterday, quite unusual. "Walk-by's, coincidental" by several tenants.
  • Found yesterday or the day before, the branch missing from my broken reading glasses. I'd called Kaiser Vision about a repair but soon found it [missing] no longer with the frame and lenses I'd carefully left it with. It was hidden under a laptop on my stand up work computer table. 

3/12/25 @ 1:06PM Had put a roll of blue painter's tape on or in my backpack to tape fliers to ground, a few days ago. Yesterday, I found it on wood work bench.

3/11/25 @ 6:02PM As has happened several times (2-3)  in the last weeks, Tyson's son, aged about 15, stares at me silently from  anywhere around 6 feet to more, saying nothing.

3/11/25 @ 2:44PM Cannot, for days, find the broken branch of a pair of reading glasses I was about to have fixed.

3/11//25 @ 1:27PM

  • For about the last 3 days, near complete silence in the apartment complex, rarely interrupted by Saint B., Mrs. 'Bell or Brother C. Little music, fewer (apt. complex) dogs barking. But lots of noise from outside dogs, people walking by and, most of all, the noise of workmen at the house immediately to the south. Tool sounds, metal grinding against concrete, voices, laughter. All of it with some sync noticed at times.
  • Strange problems with solar system yesterday. Documented in my technical/lab notes. Today, though cloudy, system works OK.

3/8/25 @ 9:42PM

  • 3 Spontaneous solar system shutdowns, today, in late afternoon. I was on my desktop PC with 1 monitor on, editing HSH #39 when, on 3 occasions, a solar shutdown caused AC to fail. Fridge and freezer drawing ~120W, PC & monitor another ~100W, solar panels putting out (maybe) 2A. Though batteries are in "safe mode," i.e., max of 1A each for a total of 4A, likely (?) cause of of power off - Just as I was editing.
  • Mrs. 'Bell silent, both voice and music. Saint Bernard, though not completely silent, also very quiet. Brother Cantinflas also.
  • Several coincidental "walk-bys" from other tenants.

3/7/25 @ 5:23PM Mrs. Bell's music, of the "thump and hum" sort is still on, her door wide open, music loud.

3/7/25 @ 4:10PM Mrs. Bell has been playing music since morning, almost non-stop, her door open. She's been mostly quiet otherwise. Saint Bernard mostly quiet, Brother Cantinflas also though he sat quietly on front lawn for some time when I went out for a coffee thermos. Tyson walked out earlier just as I was walking in from yard. Nothing said.

3/7/25 @ 2:33PM Second mysterious 'pop' sound from kitchen with inverter & MPPT controllers running normally. I shut down everything immediately. It sounds like a capacitor discharging, display showed no problem, voltages & currents OK. Minutes later, restarted OK. Is & Vs OK. Freezer running.

3/5/25 @ 9:28AM Yesterday, cashier at Advance Food Market undercharged me for coffee. For "Gavina Hot Coffee," I paid $2.29 instead of $2.99. When I pointed this out, she refused to agree saying something about sales tax. Cashier: Jelmy, Ticket: 5948, Date: 4MAR2025, Total: 5.33, Auth: 686866, Reg: 004, Cashier: 0006, Store: 00001.

3/4/25 @ 10:28AM

  • Around 4AM I started hearing a faint dog bark, almost imperceptible. It went on for about a half hour.
  • This AM, on checking [My mistake, I remember leaving both on] my solar charge controller, I saw that the battery breaker was on as I had left it before going to bed - it had been on most of the day, and the solar breaker was also still on. OK, the LiFePO4 battery was down to 6.x volt, last night it was much higher.

3/3/25 @ 19:56 Unable to get IP address on 15.4" laptop w. Ubuntu 22 though I can with 32-bit Ubu. Netbook a few minutes later and used laptop on internet w.o. problems days ago. 

3/2/25 @ 2:06PM Saint Bernard verbally active all morning. Worker excavating tree root next door very active, his drill/cutting tool making sound of metal on concrete, with odd cadence. Noise stops when I try to record the odd pattern of on/off sounds. I'm in kitchen with back door closed. Mrs. 'Bell silent.

3/1/25 @ 2:45PM This AM Saint Bernard on phone for a long time, some sync noticed. A man working in the yard of house just to south of my bungalow began making noise with a power tool for hours, sporadically but loud[ly]. Then Brother Cantinflas came out, was helping a friend leave in his car, loud, repeated instructions: "Back, ... that's it ... now turn ..." etc., or similar words. He's done this before. Throughout the minute this took I was nearby, 15 feet away, working in yard. Then, a half hour ago, some loud Hispanic music, from a car parked at the curb. Now, as I started writing this I could hear Mrs. 'Bell, inside her bungalow, front door open, screaming. Only her voice heard.

2/28/25 @ 8:09AM As I lie in bed, I begin hearing odd-sounding dog barks. They are very quiet, mostly random, seem to come from very close by. Single, double, some bursts. Sync noticed. It went on for some minutes, stopping when I got up to write these words.

2/27/25 @ 3:49PM

  1. After emptying container into trash, I went to cat sitting at Mrs. 'Bell's steps and offered it a cheese rind. Just then, Tyson's son, walking up the walkway with a backpack said: "What you doin' back here?" I turned my back, let him pass, saying nothing. He continued past me, waived at Brother Cantinflas, said something to him before continuing into the 2 story building. Months ago, I heard Brother Cantinflas say the exact same thing as I walked by his door.
  2. This morning a distinctive clump of kelp I'd brought back from the beach and had been washing and drying, was missing from the Al[uminum] foil tray I'd kept it min overnight.
  3. Apartment tenants very quiet today. But several dogs around the neighborhood barking persistently.
  4. Yesterday, bathroom faucet water flow shut off abruptly after I opened it twice.
  5. Today, and during evening some distance away, odd repeating sounds, like a double strike, repeated many times.
  6. Called Citi checkless[?] w. $325 deposit, must apply in person. [Trying to get a bonus for opening account with direct deposit]

2/26/25 @ 7:34PM Since the 3 attacks by Tyson, in the last week or longer, I've been hearing in addition to the usual: "Go," "Leave," etc.,, the word "Sue."whispered as someone walks by. Have heard it from both tenants and others. [sentence removed].

2/24/25 @ 5:30PM

  • A kid's screams, occasionally repeated, continually, for several minutes. Screams sometimes synchronized to my movements of body. He's probably across the street, I'm inside my bungalow.
  • Last night I heard a woman screaming, she sounded hysterical, only one voice, I think. It continued for some time until, around midnight, I got up to do some minutes work on solar.
  • Today, many neighbor's (added 3-21-25) voices, dogs barks.

2/24/25 @ 9:34 12V inverter powered on OK w. ~13.2V on battery. Then, trying to connect fridge & freezer load, got malfunction, beep & red light. Then, after I looked for replacement, got loud pop w. smoke from inverter though it can still come on with alarm.

2/24/25 @ 9:27AM

  • Spoke w. June, Team 16 [of] DWP [I wanted to know when electricity would be turned off after I'd scheduled a shutoff, days earlier. It still being on]
  • She: "Not possible...", "Must keep power" "Power disconnected today, no power unless cancel," "0 consumption", "$0"
  • She last said: "I don't think you're listening to me." When I asked whether after no power I'd only get a garbage bill.
  • She brought up "solar" [the word], said it was not possible to disconnect from solar. Though I had repeatedly said "off-grid solar."

2/23/25 @ 11:02AM I'm outside, on lawn sunning myself by the sidewalk. Saint Bernard has been on the phone, in his bungalow, main door open. He's talking almost non-stop, loud, at times shouting. Sync noticed.

2/22/25 @ 9:58PM I had printed 1040, Schedule C and 88905 forms from IRS site download. Then went grocery shopping at Advance Market, later could not find the forms, though I looked twice.

2/22/25 @ 11:49AM

  • Outside, sunning myself, I watch as Mrs. 'Bell walks down the walkway, dragging her feet. She pauses within my field of view, crosses her arms behind her back & moves forward & back for a minute, saying nothing. The walks slowly back to hr bungalow. She's wearing a black, long-sleeved T-shirt with white sleeves. Last night, her music, the "thump and hum" was on for hours, loud, it did not end until well past midnight, some sync.
  • My 12V inverter, behaved strangely this AM. As it did yesterday, it gave a loud snap, I saw a bit of smoke from nearby. It is still working though. My solar system is partially assembled and working OK.
  • Cannot find my battery charger for AA, AAA cells. Have to make do with use of a lab PSU to charge single cells.
  • Complex much quieter this last week, though there is misbehavior & peculiar stuff going on.
  • I cannot find then gray washcloth I'd picked up from the lawn in front. Had been using it to regulate current from the solar panel. I had just washed and dried it.

2/17/25 @ 15:44 Sold an 8088 CPU for $$5 + $5 ship. Problem is that shipping was [calculated by USPS] at $8  and size [by eBay site] was 0lb 1oz & 1"x1"x1". I corrected and will ship cheapest as I always do.

2/16/25 @ 23:27 Was in and out, working on a LiFePO4 battery pack today. I found Tyson's son walking his dog near me at least twice in the day. Once, coming out of my bungalow, he happened to walk in, down the walkway. I stopped, turned around to face my door as he walked by, 2 feet away. He said: "You stopped because you want my dog to  bite you." I said nothing throughout. The 2nd time, on my way to the laundromat, we crossed paths on the sidewalk on Adams. He, alone with his dog, said something I did not catch. I said nothing, turning my head always as we passed each other in the opposite direction.

 2/13/25 @ 15:29

  • Construction noises across street since morning. Apartment complex all day until 1/2 hour ago when Saint B. started monologue.
  • I've mostly been on lawn in front.Cannot find broken branch of glasses I'd called KP Vision  about a repair. Had it yesterday.

2/12/25 @ 11:22 Went to bed at 8PM, about 1 hour later, music, of the "thump and hum" sort started. It went on until before midnight.

2/11/25 @ 19:40 Put a dark grey sofa pillow from my Ikea sofa (long gone) at curb, hours later, I saw it on the lawn in front of my bungalow kitchen window, near the fence.

2/8/25 @ ??:?? [not noted] Last night after I'd gone to bed, I began hearing a faint sound, like a murmur almost below the threshold of audibility. It sounded like a voice, continuous, with rising and falling intonation. Starting around midnight, I'd gone to bed before then, it continued for maybe a half hour before stopping.

2/8/25 @ 14:12 [He, Tyson] Had parked. Tyson hit me again as I sat on lawn with eyes shut. Once, on ear. [He] Said "You make habit of calling police [how could he have known?], [this] will happen again. Move out. Son [was] with him. [I] called 911, operator 369 said: "Police advised, will send someone." Possible bruise. Right side [of] face. Police report # 25021932 [crime: battery, LAPD Officer Shelburne present]. I took pic(s) as he [tenant in complex I nicknamed "Tyson the Corn-fed Golem"] walked into complex, was carrying cardboard, son [nicknamed by me the "Tiny Terror"] with him. [No arrest made].

2/8/25 @ 11:25AM Operator 369, I called 911. Tyson, a few minutes ago, as I came to put more fliers out, hit me in face about five or so times. Saying: "Didn't I tell you about putting my name on your things?" His son was with him. I said nothing throughout, only facing him. [Moments later] I asked neighbor and construction workers nearby if they'd seen anything. All said no. I can feel the blows, still. Police on way. I was holding 2 fliers, he reached for them, but was not able to take them. He hit me on both sides of the face several times. He left in his black jeep, I continued a few steps & put one flier on driveway of neighbor then called 911 after asking for witnesses.

[Some particulars]:

  • Names & IDs: Minero, 45056, Shelburne, 45063
  • Police report #25021835 for battery
  • Got emailed report (verified) and business card

  • Police said: "Construction workers did see him hit me, said "words were exchanged," said Tyson used words "pedophile," "... looking at his daughter." They did not want their names used.
  • Police said: Asked if I was familiar with libel law. Said I could be sued for, quote: "Corn-fed Golem Tyson," Officer [Shelburne] said he'd sue for libel if it were him.
  • Police said: "Suggested I speak to landlord to have [have Tyson] evicted. I replied "no."
  • Police kept 2 fliers
  • Police asked (misunderstanding?) [after looking at flier] if I was saying McCain plotting against me? [flier mentions Senator McCain].

2/6/25 @ 18:05 As I stand in living room working on [web] site for last hour or so, someone just outside is talking, only 1 voice, I think. in Spanish, some sync noticed. Voice on almost non-stop.

2/6/25 @ 16:12 My door closed, I'm in living room, I can hear Saint Bernard yelling repeatedly: "No!" and "I know!" For minutes, in his bungalow, his door open.

2/6/25 @ 15:59

  • Saint Bernard and Mrs Bell active today. Both loud, either talking to each other or: Him on phone, her to unknown person.
  • I cannot find the plastic coat hanger with the extra flexible piece to hold items.

2/6/25 @ Cannot find my NiCad battery charger for the scale.

2/6/25 @ 12:05 PM

  • Found the missing screw for my gauge on the pressure regulator for CO2 bottle, on floor in living room.
  • Yesterday, 2/5/25, at 1:22 PM, Tyler's son, as I walked south on Cochran, on my side of sidewalk, coming from the opposite direction, was zig-zagging across the whole sidewalk. Not having my glasses on, I could not tell who it was until he was near me. On the wrong side of sidewalk, that is, facing me. I stopped, he came w.o. deviating, stopped 2 feet away, facing me directly, staring at me. Then he went around, stepping on the grass! Not on sidewalk. Behind him, about 20 feet away, was another person, also walking toward me. He/she passed me, w.o. a word.

2/4/25 @ 12:52PM Saint Bernard has a visitor. [Loud,] He's been bellowing at times, door open, I'm on lawn with coffee/tea, sunning myself.

2/3/25 @ 16:05 Last night, I went to bed before midnight, I began hearing odd sounds, I'm still unable to identify what they were, where they were coming from. They might have gone on in various ways, for a long time, definitely until 12:20AM (time I last looked at clock). Maybe dog barks?

2/3/25 @ 17:50

  • One screw from my CO2 pressure regulator missing. I was investigating whether rust on back was a problem by taking apart a pressure dial.
  • A flier, the Tiny Terror [son of Tyson in complex] flier I took a copy of to Edelman Children's Mental Health Center, I started distributing (4 copies so far: 1) Jesus Auto Repair 2) Tartine Bakery 3) Fleur et Sel Bakery 4) Neighbor's driveway just to south. I found it torn up with bits scattered on my steps. This afternoon, I was home, doors open. 
  • 2 nights ago I note, last night, in bed past midnight.
  • A rustling sound started, white noise with varying loudness, it continued for a long time. I've heard it before.
  • Also heard single or double dog barks, very faint, peculiar, for a long time.
  • In the morning, around 6-7AM, I heard Tyson walking by on walkway. Speaking mostly in another language (Jamaican patois?): "... we need it ..."
  • Then there started a curious set of bursts of clicks, maybe 5 in quick succession, a pause, then repeated many times. It went on for some time. Possibly followed by bird(?)-like sounds.
  • Saint Bernard began talking on his phone around the time I had coffee outside on the lawn. He talked from morning until before 2PM. Loudly, near continuous, some sync.

2/3/25 @ 15:44

  • Mrs. 'Bell silent today as is Saint Bernard
  • Called 323-726-8982, got error, voice: "The number cannot be completed as dialed. Please check the number..." When I went to company site, found 323-726-0982, I had a wropng number.
  • Culver Public Works

2/1/25 @ 23:21 Mrs. 'Bells apartment quiet for several hours.

2/1/25 @ 20:16 Mrs. 'Bell's music still on, just as loud. Her door open. Sync noticed with my movements as I go about in living, bedroom, (sync between my movements and her music).

2/1/25 @ 19:13 Mrs. Bell's  music is loud, has been on a long time, her front door wide open, it's cold outside.

1/31/25 @ 12:33 PM Mrs. Bell's music deafeningly loud, with her door wide open, this for hours; I walk to trash can to drop an item before walking down the walkway, by her bungalow to the steps at the back, she emerges, begins yelling at me from her porch. Something like: "... walking ... back here..." I, looking the other way as I walk back to my bungalow, say nothing.

1/30/25 @ 15:09

  • Called PUC/LA, 213-576-7000 [on "Solar for Renters" program], left message.
  • Found several instances of fragments of 1 document I was editing embedded in another [unrelated document]. (1) Today, the word "sequelae" I'd added to an email found its way in 2 other places in the email. I had not put it there (2) Long text fragments from a porn text I was copying from Literotica.com, inserted several times in a document (HSH #38) I'm editing. The insertions caused the file size to grow from about 6 pages to about 12. I had not done this. An increasingly frequent occurrence in last months.

1/28/25 @ 13:01 Called CO2 recharge place 323-726-8982, got: "number cannot be reached as dialed." (1) Tried several times (2) Have spoken to Carlos at this # before (3) Was able to get through to DWP minutes later.

1/24/25 @ 11:37AM Found the missing woolen cap. In bedroom, on top of function generator among hanging clothes. I don't know if I put it there or not.

1/21/25 @ about 4PM, I visited LA County Department of Mental Health, 11303 W. Washington Blvd, Ste 200, LA 90066, speaking with a Tytiana Burns, BS, Substance Abuse Counselor, of the Edelman Mental Health Center-Child and Family, business card here. Initially stymied by a security guard who informed me the facility was for helping children, I insisted that, precisely, this was the office I wanted to visit as my problem and questions had to do with a misbehaving underage child. He allowed me to proceed and, after a wait of some  minutes, I was shown to a private room by Ms. Burns. After reading this paper (substantially the same as my LAPD complaint), she recommended I continue ignoring him and continue documenting his behavior. By email, I've since asked for a meeting with her supervisor - something she offered at the time.

1/21/25 @ 15:07 Just found my missing glasses, in another glasses case, not the translucent one I'd put them in. * It is possible, though unlikely, I put them there.

1/21/25 @ 11:58AM 2 days ago I could not find a wool hat. I started using another one. Today, I cannot find this one. Yesterday, I found the one missing for 2 days, in with other items on clothing shelf in bathroom.

1/21/25 @ 11:18AM Quiet so far today, no music, no screams.

1/20/25 @ 16:00 310-482-3200, called Edelman, pressed #1, then #2, [got a general number for mental health, I think] about Tyson's son. [Jerremu > Jerremz <- I spoke with.

1/20/25 @ 11:58AM Called 866-484-0433 DWP solar, again. Asked for official guidance on "Solar for Renters." Again.

Diary Entries (Ordered the old way, where new entries are at the bottom)

10/21/23 @ 9:16PM Coming home from U-Haul, found anemometer mast broken with upper part laid down behind bushes. 2 clamps to railing still intact. Have pics of before (vane assy.) and after (mast, pieces, clamps, wood).

10/22/23 @ 10:15AM Filed vandalism report/complaint (Correction on 10/25/23: with LAPD) with tracking number: 23102290067

Backlog:

(10-19-23) Bus #108, ID 3981, eastbound on Slauson Avenue at Central. An old, crippled black man sitting in front, plays loud music as I stand nearby. Later, still sitting but about to exit he reaches up to press button but, seeming to fumble, touches and caresses my cheek for what seems like an interminable moment. Gently, saying nothing, I push his hand away. This before 6:45PM, on my way to Ace Hardware in Maywood. To allow him to pass, I momentarily exit the bus, before boarding again. As I do so he says something like “Thank you, brother.” (10-20-23) A false-flag operation of the cut-rate variety? Consider: after coming back on the 108 from Ace Hardware in Maywood yesterday, I thought I was boarding the 212 at La Brea and Slauson Avenue but, but, but, as I discovered after some minutes, it was in fact a 102. Or was it? Folks, I dunno anymore. Henceforth, I’ll consider dropping a tab before boarding just like the soldier did in the Do Lung bridge scene from the movie Apocalypse Now. By the way, I don’t think the TAP card reader on either the 212/102 or the 212 I finally did board, worked. ¿Sospechoso, que no?

(10-29-23) Was hit by car around noon as I walked with cart to U-Haul, license plates: 7LXL065 as I crossed protected crosswalk, driver would not give name but did stay a while. Was hit on left leg, no injuries. Driver would not give name, Asian man, tall, thirties. 911 called. No police came. Details follow.

(12-3-23) In a courtesy visit, the Saint came to my door asking, with evident puzzlement, why I had put a piece of laundry to dry on the fence on his side of the complex instead of mine. Not answering, I quietly said: “Will there be anything else?” He replied in the negative, I later saw him move it off the fence where I’d left it, his request notwithstanding, and move it to my side of the complex. I later found the item lying on the grass.

(11-4-23) Coming home from Costco, at 4:30PM, the driver of the Culver City #1, eastbound on Washington Boulevard at Glencoe, ID 7154, got out of the bus and, referring to my dolly, said: “Do you want me to carry it on for you?” He declared the sidewalk was “too high” (his words), this after having kneeled his bus when instead he could have driven a further six feet before lowering the ramp. I gave my usual answer: “Excuse me?” He repeated his question several times, getting the same reply each time. Finally he said: “I can’t wait” and left. At 4:48PM, the next CC #1 bus, ID 7143, moving eight feet further, successfully lowered the ramp, allowing me to board without incident.

1/30/25 @ 9:53PM

  • This afternoon, a donation to Salvation Army, Santa Monica, was refused. Jerry, the person in alley I spoke with asked if I were homeless, then, when I replied: "Not yet," said I could not donate. I asked for his name & went to retail store to add documentation for this event. There, an Osvaldo C., name on badge, said he was not sure, after hesitating. I asked twice, got same answer both times. He added that I could speak to his manager who was on break. 1 witness (man who tried to get service ahead of me, being helped by Osvaldo G. until I protested quietly that I had been first). Donation: toaster  oven and wire shower hanger for soap.
  • Now will simply put these items at curb in the morning.
  • Also have sent email relating incident to Salvation Army office.
  • Got written notice on door of sale or apartment complex, this afternoon.

1/30/25 @19:15 Just sent the following email [slightly redacted] to the Southern California Salvation Army office in Carson, CA at infosocal@usw.salvationarmy.org:

Hi, I'll be wanting confirmation of the following. Today, 1/30/25, at around 5:16PM, I tried to drop off 2 items at yr Santa Monica donation center in the alley at 1662 11th St, Santa Monica, CA 90404. When I told the guy I wanted to donate the stuff in my dolly, a toaster and a shower soap holder he, Jerry, asked if I were homeless. When I said "Not yet," he replied that, in this case, donations were not accepted. I then went to the retail store in front to get confirmation. There I asked Osvaldo C. When asked to confirm by a "Yes or no" my question: "Does one have to be homeless to make donations," he replied he was not sure and offered to have me wait for his manager, then on break. Folks, ya gotta believe me for Berg Not Lie™! Do look for my web site, won't you...

I do this instead of leaving items at the curb because at least one person, a neighbor in our complex, the older woman I call Mrs. 'Bell, has lately been damaging, trashing or moving (pics available) whatever items (sometimes labeled: "Take, free") I put there.

In realtime (11-28-23) at about 9:50AM. As I went to deliver an item I'd sold, 1000' of ethernet cable, to a Craigslist customer, Gregory D’Angelo, the following incident happened with Los Angeles Metro bus #218, northbound on Fairfax Ave., bus ID 3113, driver a fairly young black woman:

  1. ...<Insert prior details>
  2. She did not pull up to curb as I waited by bus sign
  3. ...<Additional details follow>
  4. While 15' away from the curb where I stood, she opened doors
  5. She came to curb after I walked into street, missing another bus, #217. She lowered ("kneeled") bus, then lowered ramp, creating gap between sidewalk and edge of ramp
  6. Drove away, then came back when I walked onto street and stood in front of bus, blocking her way
  7. She made as though she were calling someone on her Metro bus communication handset. I remained in front of bus
  8. ...<Details follow> I finally boarded
  9. When I asked why she "kneeled" bus before lowering ramp, she replied she had to kneel bus in order to lower ramp
  10. I had with me a dolly carrying 1000' of cable to customer so found it somewhat difficult to negotiate the gap between sidewalk and edge of ramp
  11. She talked to other passenger(s), smiling and laughing throughout the minutes this incident took place
  12. I would have waited for the next bus (as is my habit when this sort of thing happens) but that I had an appointment at 10AM and this bus only runs every hour

Will elaborate in the next hours.

(11-28-23 @ 9:50AM) A woman driver of the Metro #218, ID 3113, northbound on Fairfax, does not pull over to the curb though I stand by the bus sign, preferring to stop in the far lane. I’m forced to walk over, stand in front of her bus, and ask her to lower ramp, a #217 drove up just then. She replies that she can’t while the bus is in the road. After some back and forth, described at length in my diary, I eventually board. The driver had been chatting with passenger(s), smiling and laughing all the while. Outstanding! I usually pass on getting involved in these shenanigans, opting to wait until the next bus but, being pressed for time (had to deliver an Ethernet cable to a customer in the Valley), my hand forced, I had to insist on being allowed to board.

(12-14-23) In what may merely have been momentary lapses of good taste on the part of “Saint Bernard,” “Mrs. ‘Bell,” “Brother Cantinflas“ and Colette Walczak, I remember four transgressions of which I’ll only mention two. First, set the tone. Years ago, Colette once said to me out of the blue: “You’ve got a bit of the bitch in you,” a comment I may have included in the book. This morning(?), I overheard “Saint Bernard” and “Mrs. ‘Bell,” in an extended conversation outside my window as I lay in bed. I heard him say: “… eating a baby out…” and “… that should get it/him(?) going...” Who’s writing their material, anyway? The two remarks made by the others, I won’t mention.

(12-15-23) At about 6AM, walking on Adams Blvd. to catch a #212 bus, on my way to make complaints in person about the neighbor in our complex I call "Mrs. 'Bell," As I cross the street a man, black, walking on the wrong side of the crosswalk, as he walks by me, he makes as if to hit me with both fists. Says: "Boom, boom!" Then: "What's up, man?" I continue walking and ignore him, saying nothing. There were 2 cars pause, waiting to make turns.

(12-28-23) “Amateur Hour at the West Addams Circus.”:

  1. In the morning, I sit near the curb in my beach chair, reading and warming my bones
  2. Brother Cantinflas offers me a free TV as he walks by, on his way to run errands , I’m noncommittal and hand him a copy of HSH #23
  3. A helicopter begins circling overhead but leaves. I waive
  4. In the two story building in the back, Miss Mumbles and Banshee (the other) seem to be going at it again (see previous HSHs and a complaint to City of Los Angeles on the noise from them and others)
  5. Walking up to one of the Gomez daughters, downstairs from the scene of the commotion, I hand her a copy of HSH #23 while, regarding the noise upstairs, the ever-present wiseacre in me comments (in passable Serbo-croatioan, I believe): Псујући као Србин на штапу!
  6. The helicopter comes back, this time in earnest. It begins circling low for what seems like an interminable time…
  7. Police soon make an appearance, rushing upstairs. I hear them mention an address
  8. Minutes later, they are followed by technicians, whether from paramedics or the fire department, I don’t know
  9. A bit later, I see a gurney go in and out of our circus/complex. Not clear on what has happened
  10. At the curb, I later hear what sounds like a woman’s voice, speaking through tears. Possibly a victim talking to police
  11. Tub-thumper with his usual stentorian voice walks over and asks the police if they can move their car which is blocking his way...
  12. Eventually, I see Golem Tyson(tm) (wanted by the LAPD in connection with several attacks on me person), at the building in the back. Putting in an appearance, though strictly in a non-speaking, walk-on role
  13. Throughout, I sit nearby at the curb, impassive, reading Highly Processed People by van Tulleken. Wiv’ me sombrero pulled down so low over my eyes that a) It might well be called a sombrerissimo and b) One of the technicians at the scene, noticing and, perhaps seeking to make play of my posture, comments to me: “Did you sleep through it all?”
  14. Exeunt omnes
  15. Calm having returned by 1PM, I notice two of the busy “brace” (see HSH #23 for an explanation of this peculiar nomenclature) of Mexican workmen next door shuttling back and forth with exceedingly noisy wheelbarrows. Eventually, all patience spent, I position myself near their path with a can of 3-in-One Household oil held in the fashion of a model flogging a knicknacks (imitating a parody by Camille Solari, something I remember from long ago. Verisimilitude is all. ¿No?). Painted on my face is what I hope is a come-hither smile which likely comes across to these poor fellows as a bit demented, but never mind. One, then the other of the “brace” of Mexicans troubling my sleeping and waking hour these days, stops by to avail himself of the offer.


(12-14-23) In what may merely have been momentary lapses of good taste on the part of “Saint Bernard,” “Mrs. ‘Bell,” “Brother Cantinflas“ and Colette Walczak, I remember four transgressions of which I’ll only mention one. First, to set the tone. Years ago, Colette once said to me out of the blue: “You’ve got a bit of the bitch in you,” a comment I may have included in the book. This morning(?), I overheard “Saint Bernard” and “Mrs. ‘Bell,” in an extended conversation outside my window. As I lay in bed, the Saint was heard to say: “… eating a baby out…” and “… that should get it/him(?) going...”

(12-2?-23) Mrs ‘Bell and her variegated antics. She’s outside, speaking to the Saint. I walk out to the bins, after a bit, seeing her walk toward me on the narrow walkway, on my way back from the trash bins, I pause in the gap between hedges to let her pass, turning my back to her as I always do. As she passes me, I hear: “I’d like to slap you,” said in a joking voice, presumably to Saint Bernard, watching from his steps.

(12-24-23 @12:18) Mrs. ‘Bell in a brief outburst moments ago; as she walks by my open door on her way to the street, I hear her say: “I’m talking to Berg.”

(12-2?-23) During what I assume is a heated argument, I hear the Saint from inside his bungalow, presumably addressing a visitor, shout: “That’s not your cell!”

(12-2?-23) The “brace” of Mexican construction workers next door may, at times, be engaging in some curious, multilingual word play. Example: from inside my bungalow, I heard the words: “Baby nero. Baby nero.” emanate from the other side of the wall where they’re working. Unless, of course, they were merely engaged in an excited discussion one of Mary Beard’s YouTube documentaries on Rome (in which case I should have capitalized)? I dunno.

(12-26-23) @ 11:26AM The Trefusis book I requested and asked at least 1 librarian about she said she could not determine if it was stolen, lost, checked out. No info. avail. I just saw it is a reference book. (Update 1/17/24 book is reference book)

- Also a book "Thirty Years War," Wedgwood, I could not find when I searched online, a librarian got, telling me "I have it in my hands.: I was able to obtain the copy, with librarian's help.

(1-2-24) Woke to the strains of the half-dozen workers next door, knocking wood at seeming random, the noise abated an hour later as I got up. Sync with voices and sounds of their tools noticed. Mrs ‘Bell very silent last days, this AM. At noon, she was quiet when she did speak, not loud and braying as usual. The Saint quiet as well.

1-3-24 @ ? (Added 1/4/24: Workers next door, the same)

1-4-24 @ 19:4:

  • Found the 2nd piece of 1.5"x1.5" belonging to my food tray and rolling file cabinet. It was behind some wood pieces, next to the sauna heater.
  • I cannot login to AliExpress. "Error 404": Page under maintenance." Several times today.
  • @ 19:47: I see I'm logged in in another tab, tab is responsive.
  • Found my kefir grains which I thought I'd put in fridge for storage, on shelf with other glass jars, empties

(1-11-24) @ 8:30AM Meet about nail/finger. At checkin at ~8AM could not find the apt. paper I'd folded in my wallet. Conclusion: - mucous cyst cause - nail bed injury responsible for lifting of nail. 

(1-16-24) @ 4:01PM Synchronized screaming from children next door as I sit in kitchen eating children not visible, probably next door. Has been going on sporadically for days.

(1-17-24) @ 5:55AM A few days ago I heard the workers next door make much noise, voices & tools. Sync noticed. Also heard 1 near me say , in Polish or Russian: "Good day."

(1-18-24) @ 16:49 As I sit in kitchen reading, synchronized screaming, coming probably from next door, to the north. Children make piercing screams as I make even small movements. Went outside to check, found a woman & 1 or more kids, in yard of complex just to north, playing w. ball. As I write the last sentence, no more screams.

(1-22-24) @ 11:44AM Preparing 4 envelopes for mailing to FBI, Justice Dept. Human Rights Watch, ICC/Hague, I find 2 mini-CDs moved to one envelope. I had been careful, yesterday to distribute them properly.

2-3-24, @ 12:48PM We’ve got insult! Sitting outside on the grass, sunning myself, facing away from the walkway across the hedge, minding me own business, I hear: “Berg, oh, Berg, I got [sic] something for you.” When I don’t stir, I next hear: “Fuck you,” before the person walks away and down the street. Though I’m not sure as I did not turn to see who it was, it sounded like (wanted by LAPD) Corn-fed Golem Tyson™’s young son, a boy of about thirteen.

2-21-24 @ 2:15AM To bed at about 1AM, a sound began. Low-pitched hum, interrupted or modulated at random. Freq. about 60Hz or so, at times continuous - but only for a few seconds. Variation in  amplitude is is random, no sync noticed. Location unknown as hum is low-pitched. I first heard it in bed, now writing in kitchen, I can hear it as well. Unable to sleep.

A series of "Jerks”:

  1. (2-21-24 @ 2:06PM) Metro bus #212, ID 5986, south on La Brea, driver braked suddenly as I got up, there was no car in lane ahead. Braking was mild, I think, but it destabilized me momentarily. I did not fall.
  2. (2-13-24 @ 1:54PM) Culver City bus #1(?), ID 7129, as a woman is talking on cell phone (incessantly since before I got on) the driver brakes sharply. At that moment, the same(?) woman says: “Ça va?”
  3. (3-1-24 @ 1:09PM) Metro bus #33, ID 8637. I was holding onto a rail while standing in front area of bus, just as I switched hands, the driver made his bus move forward though a passenger had not yet boarded.
  4. Have experienced these things more often in last months. Sometimes a rapid sequence of braking action within 2-3 seconds.

(2-25-24) @ 13:09 Had uploaded my porn collection (without link to share). It is missing, have been uploading it again. Noticed only ~30GB instead of ~77GB [total stored at Google Drive].

2-26-24 The “Good Doktor Mabuse” (once upon a time, Mother mentioned the name) has been busy to-day. A recap of the day so far:

  1. Last night got email from eBay China-based seller beauty_stores168 on item ID 266613350062, order # 07-11167-35253 (replacement for air mattress), advising it is being shipped. Tracking # 271382685080. Email received at 1:32AM
  2. At 2:27AM got email from same: (a) Mixed tracking # with another’s (b) Defect noticed in shipment received (c) Refund issued
  3. Got message from Kaiser Permanente nurse Thuy Lisa Hoang, LVN confirming lab test ordered. No test type mentioned (I had requested fasting insulin) while she, in previous reply, mentioned a fasting glucose test
  4. In reply, I sent another request repeating an insulin, not glucose, test had been requested; in an attached PDF, I also asked for additional medical files
  5. Business cards test runs prior to second Staples visit are now printing wrong with 1 side upside down. They were perfect in test prints yesterday
  6. As I work on #5, Saint Bernard, minutes ago, came out briefly, saying “Get down” repeatedly. Sync noticed
  7. At 16:16PM, instability in word processor, I am unable to rearrange business card pics properly
  8. Saint Bernard in his bungalow, front door open, talking, his trademark laugh heard. Sync observed as I work on #7 in living room, my door also open

Too many coincidences by half. Oder?

(2-27-24) @ 4:11AM Cannot transfer to 250GB ext drive as ownership has changed since I backed up CCCP (porn)  

(2-29-24) @ 13:02 Someone, probably the "Corn-fed Golem(tm) Tyson," just walked by [my open door], said: "I'm gonna put the nigger down till he ain't sayin' f**k [Ambiguous and disturbing].

(2-29-24) @ 13:24 Two workmen outside, in back, one says: "What do you think this is, a game?" {While] I'm in bedroom with window open arranging lab.

(2-29-24) @ 17:02 Mrs. 'Bell and the Saint (probably) just outside on walkway [feet from my bungalow]. He is bellowing, words: "Kill." "Walk between cars." "Animal control." [This] Went on a few minutes.

(2-29-14) @17:22 Saint B[ernard] and Mrs. 'Bell again in conversation just outside my door which is closed. I hear him loud, words "dog," "kill," etc. [with] obscenities from her. I'm in living room. 

(2-29-24) @ 23:40 A few hours ago, I thought I heard a knocking at door or somewhere nearby. I did not answer. I was 4' away, just inside, watching YouTube then minutes ago, I read an email announcing my air mattress had been delivered. Walked outside and saw nothing. I don't think they knocked on the door as I didn't hear a rattling or metallic sound. I also notice a YouTube video I'm watching has image flipped in x direction sometimes with maybe loss of sync. Not on other YouTube channels. Order was canceled (see 2/22/24 diary entry on page [to be added]). Order # shown on email: 07-11167-35253. Item ID: 266613350062. Seller: beauty_store168. Dropped off: Mar 1, 04:35PST. Carrier: FedEx. Tracking: 27138268080. email time: received Feb 29, 24, 9:03PM. I find this whole business with the air mattress order, previous one having developed a slow leak, to be somewhat contrived, No?

(3-2-24) From my diary, verbatim: 3/2/24 @ 5:27AM To bed at about 3AM, up at 5:15AM. When I emerged from bathroom, dressing (about to) by bedroom window which was ajar, I heard Mrs. ‘Bell(?) ― not entirely sure, she began yelling: “… do it! Do it! … out of my house!” Then silence. She had been quiet all night. This said at around 5:18AM.

(3-6-24) @ 20:54 On crosswalk coming from Costco with green light, a car was making a turn right although the light was red. It braked only feet from me after having started its turn, making a somewhat loud noise. I paused right in front of it and noted the license plate: 9DTY455. This happened tonight at 7:16PM. Later that evening, walking from my #37 stop at Dunsmuir, a man black, stout, fairly young, was riding a bike on sidewalk. He turned, forcing me to stop, which I do anyway. About to go into the driveway of some apartments next to a new three story building, he passed in front of me, within 1-2 feet and mumbled: "Trying to get something going [<- my guess]... so I can ride my blood [<- this I heard more clearly]."


(3-12-24) @ 00:03AM Yesterday got a "24-hour notice of intent to enter premises. Name not mentioned. On 3/12/24. Reason: inspection. Owner/Agent: Irma Carter Dated 3/11/24, Phone: (213) 661-4031

(3-23-24) @12:45PM Finding instances of .ODT files missing while the .PDF copy is still there. Note that I do not make theser PDFs directly but only through an intermediary ODT file I then convert to PDF. Example: "Ladino spoken here (10-15-2021)," a visit to the Low-Countries ...," "Marking my linen (10-28-2021)." But "excavating the naughty past" is still available in ODT. Screenshots taken of several searches showing the missing ODTs (correction 3-22-24 @ 18:42: "Excavating ... naughty.ODT [now] gone) 

(3-23-24) @ 14:01 Two nights ago, after I went to loft bed with bedroom side window open, it opens to trash bins between 2 bungalows, after minutes, I heard 2 v. loud bangs, trash lids(?) slammed shut, in rapid succession. Followed by softer sounds, then quiet. Later a voice, not loud, occasional. Possibly that of Saint Bernard.  Then a peculiar, white noise-derived(?) scraping(?) sound as though aluminum foil were dragged along the concrete walkway. V. odd. This until around 3AM. Random varying loudness, momentary strings of words, once I think I heard Mrs. 'Bell speak briefly. Last night was quiet but I thought I heard some brief sentences spoken nearby. These sounds make me uncomfortable. I also heard several knocks on wood outside, random. Past midnight.  

(3-23-24) @ 17:32 Tyson much noticed in last 2 days. Frequent walk-bys. This AM, noticed him on sidewalk looking in my direction [I was in living room] as he stood still for a bit.

(3-24-23) @18:43 "Saint Bernard" verbal today. his dog as well. Sync from both noted, door open!

(3-24-24) @ 12:16PM Before I got up at 11:30AM, a lot of loud voices, I recognize "Saint B's", a woman. Then some noise, prolonged, near trash [bins]. This continued until I got up, at which point, it stopped, just before I began showering. "Saint B's" laughter v. noticed. 

[Background: In last days, I've printed hundreds of pages of fliers. Today, I've been printing 8.5x11 copies of my book to distribute on campus of Caltech, the school I attended in the seventies. I could only print 6 whole copies of book along with another 6 partial.]

(3-24-24) @ 18:00 Computer & printer problems As I'm printing copies of 8.5x11 book, printer, after several successful copies printed, stops on pics of my SMPD [Santa Monica Police Department] report arrest in 1988. Reason: out of paper light. I find still a few sheets in cassette. After I refill cassette anyway, light out but printing does not resume. I restart print of remaining pics, no output, no print job in queue. At that moment, Tyson's boy walks down concrete walkway & as he does so, audibly slaps a fist into the other palm. 

(3-24-24) @ 18:13 Next attempt to print remaining pics fails, job sent, printer "Ready" light blinks then nothing.

(3-24-24) @18:18 Powered off/on printer, resent pics. Paper light blinks, ready light blinks, no output.

(3-24-24) @18:32 Reboot of PC, print still fails.

(3-24-24 @19:13 Printed 1 unrelated page (list of fliers) OK. But 2nd sheet slipped in.

(3-24-24) @19:18 Tried printing remainder of book, text only. Failed.

[Comment: I am able to print, it seems, selected documents only, though.]

((3-25-24) @ 10:02AM Began hearing workmen nearby with their peculiar hammering on wood. Been going on since about 8AM. Double knocks repeated. Triple knocks repeated. Long strings of steady knocks. etc, etc.

(3-25-24) @ 19:27 Failed to upload [to Google Drive]: "20240227 HSH 29 Fancy_v06.ODT" Error: "File Unreadable" though I can edit it. Screenshots taken. Abnormal file properties noticed. (See screenshot: #1, #2, #3).

(3-26-24) @ 13:33 Last night, some single knocks (in wood?) heard after midnight, random, medium-loudness. Total of less than a dozen in all. Came from outside bungalow.

- Successfully printed the text of book, 1 copy so far [today].

(3-26-24) @ 14:08 Tried to print a complete set of pics pp.53-69 as numbered in the 8.5x11 version/format. It stopped printing at same pic as 2 days ago: p64, the 1st page of SMPD [Santa Monica Police Dept.] arrest report.

- Tried again to print subset: from p65-70. Failed w. no error message.

(3-26-24) @ 14:21 Minutes after I sent last (p85-end) of 8.5x11 book, failed to print. Paper present. No error message. [Now] Restarting PC and printer.

(3-26-24) @ 14:33 Workers in construction site across street are making odd noises with nail guns(?). Sync noticed.

(3-26-24) @15:13 Printed pics: p53-64 [had selected pp.53-70]then stopped output. Momentary blinking paper light, then normal green light "Ready"

(326-24) @ 3:24PM Failed to print pic set.

(3-26-24) @ 15:46 Printer failed print of pics at same page: 64. Also does not shutdown after pressing off button. Powers on as soon as plugged into AC. Now printing images w.o. my command (I had requested 4 sets), print queue shows more to print.

(3-26-24) @ 16:13 Saw I'd printed an extra set of (partial pics), when I tried to print an extra set of text, failed to print.

(3-26-24) @ 16:54 In recent months example [1]: Yesterday I searched for correct spelling of "ex Africa ..." got "aliquid" which is wrong, instead of "aliqui". I had to double check, to run another search on duckduckgo[.com], in order to get it right. Example 2: I could not find a copy of Wedgwood's "Thirty Years War", only a ref. copy *but* a librarian found it, telling me over the phone "I have one/it in my hands." I successfully checked it out with his help. Example 3: As I wrote book, I looked for a specific name: unusual person ... [list of specific details here] ... , yet could not find it!

(3-26-24) @ 17:09 Getting calls where in addition to spam calls, there is silence & no one replies when I say "Hello."

(3-25-24) @ 18:06 Printed 1 (set of remaining pics which would not print before) OK. Called Staples to cancel debit card order cancelled OK, cancelled 4 sets of 3 pages. Then began printing another 3 sets. The 1st page I had selected 4 copies of came out 5 copies. The next page printed 7 pages before I shut printer down.

(3-27-24) @ 10:00 As I sat near walkway, sunning myself with eyes closed, Gadiel's wife who walked by earlier just ... [to be continued]

(3-27-24) @12:51 Failed to print a 2-sided PDF page. Blinking "Paper" light.

(3-28-24) @ 19:47 At least twice today as I emerged from my bungalow, one young woman with dog on least walked by me and said: "Stop" I kept silent. Always do, & turned my back as soon as I saw her.

(3-28-24) @ 19:49 Cannot find the sheet of paper with some numbers and information I'd prepared for my City business tax filing. I'd planned on using it to help me file IRS tax by the end of this month, in the next 4 days.

Then called admin office was told (1) Palm Corned Beef unavailable (2) Chuck Roast available, she did not say "on sale", gave me an item # for sale, however. (3) Later that day, a meat dept. man I asked said # for "on sale" at lower price than she had quoted. I paid more, almost $50 @ $3.47/lb for #35626, chuck roast

5-8-24 @ 17:40 Saint B. silent.

5-9-24 @ 21:26 Heard Saint B. briefly this AM as I lay in bed. Minutes ago Mrs. 'Bell walks by, says: "Nigger, what are you doing in my bed?" My door was closed, I heard no other voice in this. Otherwise, quiet day.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

5-15-24 @ 21:47 Problem transferring from Ubu 22 to Ubu 24, disk previously booted from shows no partition readable on 24,  but back to boot from it, OK. Also could not locate Brave profile to transfer to Ubu 24.

5-16-24 @ 9:28AM Still unable to connect Ubu 22 disk to Ubu 24, something about "PMBR" & not formatted though it boots fine.

5-16-24 @ 16:20 Mouse light went out, I switched it to laptop port instead of expander (USB) & it worked/lit again. - The  put kbd into USB expander, it worked then mouse back into USB expansion, works again. Now, minutes later, see mouse red light flicker, not working. At same time copying many files to a 500GB drive with Ubu 24, stopped at book/file "Kate Millet in Iran," reason: R.O. media. I skipped that one & transfer resumed. Now, as I wrote prev. line, "I/O splicing error" halted remaining transfer going on for over an hour. As I write the above, Saint B. yelling: "Get in there," with dogs barking. Managed to copy ~ 130,000 files to new Ubu 24. Now problem: "RO file system" as I copy Sup Vendor Ren Eng....PDF" Mouse not lit again, using mouse pad instead.

5-16-24 @ 19:03 Several small problems setting up new Ubuntu 24. Saint B. verbally active, as is Mrs' B., sync.

5-16-24 @ < 9:01PM Cannot find any AAA, blue, rechargeable batteries, remember 1 piece, before had 2-3 more.

5-16-24 @ 21:01 - Cannot find receipt from USPS with tracking numbers for tax returns to state CA & IRS - My Oster blender, repaired by replacing/buying a blade assembly which had worn out teeth no longer works, it does same thing as before fix. - My clamp meter gives erratic readings (6-6-24 @ 23:25 Correction: may have made mistake, range set to AC and maybe was measuring DC - though not likely. Today works OK), although batteries are low. One lead faulty? - At least one of my soldering guns is not working right. Yesterday the lights came on briefly, never since and it cannot heat a lug enough to melt the slug inside - something I did regularly when selling/installing solar RV systems.

5-16-24 @ 21:50 On Ubu 24, Ondsel refuses to install.

5-17-24 @ 9:06AM After I went to bed at ~11PM (1) Music of the "hum & thump" variety (2) A woman's voice began talking loudly (3) More music, with a beat/drum (4) a loud woman (Mrs. 'Bell?) says "Let go of my door!" several times (5) More talk, some quiet, some loud over the next hour(s) (6) Last heard by me at about 1:30AM, then quiet.

5-17-24 @ 13:25 Add to dog sounds [arrow points to entry paragraph just above], sometimes simultaneous with woman's voice. *Odd sounds*, not barks at all, yelps or mewls, not loud, not growls. Nearby in complex maybe. Have heard this kind of dog(?) sounds before. 

5-18-24 @ 17:37 Cannot find a pair of scissors, pink handle. My new Oster 20 speed blender does not work anymore. It does the same thing as when I pulled it from the trash, motor spins but does not engage top blade part. I see the square drive shaft is damaged, corners worn. Also, when I took it apart, the gasket was on the wrong side of the blade disk, so the jar leaked. Am buying a replacement square shaft top on eBay.

5-18-24 @ 18:12 Saint B. on phone, front door open, since before I took nap. Sometimes loud, some sync. I'm now in living room. Going on for an hour or more, earlier today too.

5-18-24 @ 19:02 Saint B. still at it. Some sync. I'm in living room.

5-18-24 @ 19:24 Saint B. quiet for minutes now. Mrs.B.'s music now heard. gospel. Sync noticed. I walked by on walkway, saw her door open wide, music blaring.

5-19-24 @ 11:50 Saint B. active but quiet. On phone, door open, sync sometimes.

5-19-24 @ 12:22 Now Saint B. on phone again, as before but a woman on other end of phone, I can hear her, indistinctly, she talking almost nonstop, he: odd/idiotic laughter mostly. Sync from both. I'm in living or outside, on steps.

5-20-24 @ 00:42 Found every pic in "Black Tape Project" zero length. Has happened also in another folder, a few pics only, though.

5-20-24 @12:08PM Low rumble of idling car engine outside nearby. Sync noticed when engine momentarily revved up. I'm in living room.

5-22-24 @ 9:18AM Saint B. & L'Épicière [Mrs. 'Bell] outside on walkway, talking loudly for minutes. Sync (some) they both stop as I write this.

5-22-24 @ 19:58 Strange dog yelping(?) sounds coming from inside our complex. L'Épicière outside on walkway, talking loudly for minutes. Sync (some) They both stop as I write this

5-22-24 @20:41 Continued occasional yelping dog(s). Sync noticed once or twice.

===================================== End hiatus =====================================================================

(5-23-24) @ 13:11 Called Costco/Culver [City #479] admin. Told by woman to call back. I did[.] Spoke w. man who advised me to come in to have receipt (iron+chon/gluc) checked. I said: "as this is 21st century is there no way to do this over phone as I ride bus!" He made me repeat myself, claiming confusion about "21st century" meaning. Then he said I was being sarcastic. He [eventually] took my customer ID, looked up my bill, after more confusion (1 digit missing). I said: "You're only off by a constant." adding "This, too, is sarcasm." He explained [the] bill, I said (in conclusion) "Bill OK," thanked him and hung up. 572220 & 1665191, trans. ID: 4142000001704..., $28.09, on 5/21/24 @ 11:51AM.

(5-23-24) @ 19:20 Someone shooting a toy gun, going rat-a-tat-tat for some minutes. Began with sounds, then heard projectiles/pellets hit front of living room, then something repeatedly hitting living room window. Sync noticed.

(5-23-24) @ 19:45 Continued noise of toy gun, strikes against front wall outside, facing street, maybe only one person [involved].

5-24-24 @ 10:36AM Construction workers making peculiar sounds. 1) Repeated, slow, soft hammering, 3/4 sec apart(?) 2) Nail driver used, also ~1 sec apart for string of ~dozens strikes. Just as for several days/weeks.

5-25-24 @ 19:54 Electric stove thermostat erratic: 2 or more times found temp at 200 F or more when I had dialed in (and maintained for hours) 165-170F.

5-25-24 @19:57 Trying, unsuccessfully to solder terminal lugs to cables for welder. Wattmeter shows 250W momentarily before watts drop to 1/2 that value. This for 2 different solder guns I've used for years to do exactly that on solar jobs.

5-25-24 @ 20:24 Just outside my living room for several minutes, what sounds like a grunting/panting dog. Also been hearing voices from people in our complex(?) w. laughs, yells, etc., for 1/2 hour.

5-26-24 @ 12:29PM This morning, between 10AM and 11AM, as I lay in bed, I began hearing conversations outside, Mrs. 'Bell, probably Saint B., maybe others, once Mrs. 'Bell was screaming, Saint B. fairly loud, some dogs both barking and yelping. It stopped after I got up at about 11AM.

5-26-24 @ 13:00 Brother C. outside, on lawn with his chair, in his usual place, talking in a droning, monotonous voice with another man. I can hear him but not make out any words.

5-27-24 @ 14:59 Several people inside and outside complex active. Sometimes simultaneously [Correction: 5-27-24 about 6 people outside not involved. Witnesses, though]. Unusual level overall. Someone [from] in complex, probably, shot toy pistol/automatic & hit my window in living room as I stood inside, working. Several dogs also active.

5-27-24 @ 15:34 Mrs. Bell very loud, outside(?) her bungalow, talking to several others. V. loud.

5-27-24 @ 15:52 Tyson's son, wearing red shorts & black shirt has been shooting at my front window as I sit facing it. Some debris from the strikes, came inside. I came out to my steps & asked him to "Please don't shoot at my window, debris comes inside." Repeated myself. He did not reply. Witness(es) in complex & outside on curb, man working on car, a silver Prius. 6NEU011, black Prius, 8XBY364, silvr Prius. 

5-27-24 @ 16:24 Just sent the following email to landlord AFJ Investments, Southwest Division LAPD Detective Hargrove, my sister Irene Hawkins and others: 

======================================Quote begin =================

Hi,

A neighbor in complex, son of a tenant named Tyson's, a young teenager named X****r, I'd guess was about 14 y.o., wearing red shorts and a black shirt has, in the last minutes (it is now 16:17, May 27, 2024), been shooting a toy, a repeating pistol/Nerf gun, at my bungalow, hitting the wall and front window repeatedly. Some fragments penetrated the living room where I was sitting, reading. I was not hit.

I came out and from my steps, quietly asked him to stop shooting as some fragments had entered the bungalow. He, on the sidewalk, did not reply but stopped shooting.

Minutes later, I came out to street, he not there, noted license plates of 2 cars parked at curb, nearby: 6NEU011, black Prius & 8XBY364, silver Prius. Considering the several people there strictly as witnesses, I asked if anyone had seen anything, one person, a young Hispanic man, nodded in the affirmative.

Someone else, though I did not see who did it, also shot and hit my front a couple of days ago, in the afternoon. They hit the side of my bungalow several times, and possibly a window.

Will be complaining to LAPD, Southwest Division, about this.


X****r's father, Tyson, is wanted for several (minor) physical attacks on me, this for several years. I have some police report numbers.

Thanks.

6-3-24 @ 11:52AM Last night heard Saint B. after I went to bed, late, voice unintelligible mostly, for quite some time, likely after midnight, droning on. Then after a helicopter fly-by, Mrs. 'Bell shouted a possible obscenity before I heard a door close. More after a pause. This AM, found bits of a mini-CD broken on my steps. The previous day, I had distributed fliers, some w. a CD, around neighborhood.

6-6-24 @ 12:32PM An install of Ubu 24.04 on 250GB HD no longer boots. I had been trying to install Wine, KiCAD, etc. to make up for the 2 other sets which cannot run these and Ondsel and BalenaEtcher (for creating a new Ubu 24.disk.)

6-6-24 @ 17:14 Kicad works. - But schematic for welder brings up Analog Control Board another design instead when clicked. Still cannot reinstall Visio with Wine on 24.04, 500GB disk but it does install on other disk, one I just reinstalled w. Ubu 24.04 today.

Used BalenaEtcher to do fresh USB boot stick. This one, too refuses to install. Quits OS install silently.

6-6-24 @ 10:13PM Bought different mattress as prev. one not shipped/refunded though I emailed again [see HSH #33 for exchange w. seller]. This one memory foam, not inflatable. Also disinfecting bedding & clothes as I may have head lice again. In process of removing sheets, I found all but 2 pieces of the cardboard I use to make the mostly deflated air mattress usable before they went missing, I had maybe 8-10 pieces between air mattress and 2 cushions. 

6-6-24 @ 22:21 Caps lock on external USB keyboard has reverse behavior: when lit - lower case, when not lit, upper case. This as I type diary online.

6-7-24 @ 18:35 Woman's voice, outside, near street somewhere talking for many minutes. I can't make out much, except she's repeating "Ready, set, go!" many (dozens+)? of times. Also: "Right!" (or a similar-sounding word), this again repeated over a dozen times. These are the only phrases/words I can recognize. Occasional sync. 

6-7-24 @ 20:24 Saint  B. active, door open. screen door closed, loud, yelling at times, for a 1/2 hour. Some sync.

6-9-24 @ 16:36 This AM, hammering heard as I'm in bed, followed by Saint B., loud, talking. For some time now, Saint B. active again, door - inner, open.

6-12-24 @ 8:27 AM Yesterday on #37 at 4:36 PM, ID 5801 or 5861, eastbound, my card (TAP) did not scan, others may have been able to scan theirs. Noticed a bumpy, jerky ride, and detour.

6-12-24 @ 8:29 AM In LATTC for [welding] class yesterday (1) as I sat outside, next to me, 2 noisy people, man and woman, noisy, she in particular. Once inside, 2 people, man and woman sat behind me, chattering, noisy. Then another man, young, Asian, w. speech impediment came to sit at my table, began talking with the two who had sat at desk. All chattering loudly. Teacher stood in front began signing us in, "housekeeping" classroom chores. She told guy next to me to remove his cap, said something about not sleeping (possibly to me as I had my eyes closed). I ignored her, Asian next to me removed his hat. She continued with introduction. Later she again said, addressing me: "No sleeping in class." More than once, I was sitting in front row. I ignored her & said: "Excuse me" as she repeated herself. So did I. I had my eyes open throughout. Last time she said this, I replied quietly, "Will there be anything else?" She later began explaining that it was important for safety reasons to pay attention adding: "I don't want to have to, as a result of an accident[,] to go to hospital & wait for your family to show up." I remained silent, though with eyes open. Later she, still doing class housekeeping chores, said: "This is very new to me" Other things too. At end of class, still no tech[nical] information imparted verbally, only a schedule and 2 handouts with welding info & syllabus. Starting after 6 PM, it went on until 8:30 PM.

Some vulgarity. Phrases: "Go inside, "No!", "Stop!", "I need you, my neighbor." or very similar words. I heard a door close followed by silence. Then the Saint started. "Go to mommy. ... Mommy!" from inside his bungalow. I had been napping. I got up a minute ago, had been in bed.

I said nothing, but had, moments earlier, hammered a vise handle a few times.

6-22-24 @ 12:24PM Hearing a faint barking(?), v. odd, from nearby, clusters of several single sounds. About 2-4 per cluster, v. unusual. Sounds like it[']s between a pant and a bark.

6-22-24 @ 12:44PM V. odd, faint bark-like sounds continuing with occasional sync. A neighbor[,] likely English-speaking, may have commented, saying: n"Are you ready now?" or something like it.

6-23-24 @ ?:??AM A second Ketone test strip gives error: "E-1": temp too low or high, hours after 1st fail. Saint B. talking from inside his bungalow, odd cadence at times, v. low volume, some sync.

6-23-24 @ 17:37 Weird dog barks/coughs(?) continuing, every couple of seconds or so, single or 2-3 sounds, unlike what I associate with dog sounds. Been going on for maybe an hour or even much more.

6-24-24 @ 18:40 Saint B. walked into complex w. friend just as I was arriving w. dolly of sauna rocks. I'm outside on porch/steps & washing a plastic set of drawers I scavenged from across street. In Saint B.'s conversation, the word Jew heard frequently.

6-29-24 @ 23:34 Music from party across street is synchronized to my movements occasionally. Maybe also 1 or more party goer voices. Discrepancies with either bank account or my "Money" spreadsheet. I called Roberta Edgar yesterday to discuss next book, left message. She emailed me tonight, wondering if I was OK as she did not get message [I'd left].

6-30-24 @ 9:23AM About to get up, I began hearing a faint metallic sound outside, irregular, 1 sound at a time, as though something metal were striking the ground every second or so. It stopped when I got up. May have started again. Then, after my shower as I stepped outside, a brief, loud commotion involving a man & woman in our complex - possibly Mrs. Bell. Words used: by man's voice: "Move!, "Dog!", "F**k that s**t," "I'm pissed!"

7-2-24 @ 00:01AM Was outside winding wire remnants about a half hour ago when a woman, across street began talking as she walked by me: "Leave" "undecipherable", "Leave", "Leave", "Undecipherable", etc. She stopped talking, then at about that time a man at an SUV parked at curb next to tree I had fastened wire to, shut door of car, walked by & left. This took a minute in all. I said nothing throughout, just continued spooling my wire onto roll.

7-2-24 @ 00:07AM Around dusk, I was on steps, working on my stick welder, Saint B.'s radio or TV was on, male announcer's voice was heard - then I heard: "Tu veut toucher?" (French for do you want to touch). This said in same even tone by same voice, who then resumed in English.

7-3-24 @ 10:17AM Brett Terrell 310-524-1212, [I] left msg. on Wednesday, LM.

7-3-24 @ 11:00AM Mrs 'Bell, shouting for a long time, she stopped as I started writing this. Not sure what she's saying from her bungalow, her door open. She's v. loud, uses phrase: "My dog" over and over, "cabron". Sync noticed as I work on steps, in living & bedroom w. door, windows open. Now silent. Simultaneously, a great deal of noise coming from the trash bins just outside my bedroom window.

7-4-24 @ 17:03 Saint Bernard with visitor, repeating words: "Santa Monica," "Rod," others, odd speech volume, "Dog," "Bitch." His visitor seldom at high volume, not loud. Sync noticed often. Mrs. 'Bell active this AM. Right in front of my bungalow, loud, sync, said she would complain to owners about someone walking in front of her bungalow. Saint B. at times not making sense, this if interpreting back and forth as a normal conversation. 

7-4-24 @ 17:17 Saint Bernard sometimes so loud, I have to shut my front door & bedroom door to hear voice on audio from YouTube.

7-4-24 @ 18:10 Got up from nap, soon heard Saint Bernard say: "Rod, don't kill him."

7-4-24 @ 22:52 A dog, nearby, barking oddly. Fairly high-pitched. Usually double barks, spaced seconds apart. For last minutes.

7-5-24 @ 12:26PM Both kitchen and bathroom sink faucets working right. Kitchen sometimes begin making rumbling sound & counter & sink start shaking, so much that things fall off. Bathroom sink sometimes shuts down with a thump or flow slowly slows to a trickle.

7-5-24 @ 12:51 Sitting on porch, I hear Saint Bernard say: "Want kill?" then "Wank kibble?" Not 100% sure of the first, mostly though.

7-5-24 @ 14:27 As I enter diary into site, editing at site stops, "SiteBuilder (re)loading" on screen. I lost part of page 63 in diary. Had not requested interruption.

7-6-24 @ 21:48 The abbreviated "coughs" of a dog, across street, resumed tonight, maybe over a half hour ago. V. quiet, single or double sounds (I hesitate to call it barking), sometimes spaced tens of seconds apart. Saint Bernard, in his bungalow is talking (to his dogs?): "Go to mommy," "Mommy," several times just now, earlier in the day, as well. At times in a child-like voice. These words now part of his repertory of repetition: repeating words/phrases to a striking extent.

7-6-24 @ 21:55 Mailman picked up outgoing letter to editor. It had been on my mailbox since the 3rd, was not picked up then. On the 5th, though a package was dropped off (shoe laces - maybe not through USPS), my letter remained on the mailbox all day. Today, it was picked up before noon.

7-7-24 @ 11:25AM Dog across street "coughing" again.

7-8-24 @ 8:27AM Mrs. 'Bell, as I'm in bed, about to get up: "Get in, get in, get yo' ass in," as she's on the walkway, loud. A man's voice, with her, adds: "Get your ass whipped and get in the car." Now, almost a morning routine.

7-9-24 @ 12:33 Order of ($25.??) soles from https://greatpair.com unclear status.

7-10-24 @ 11:41 Around 5AM, I heard a voice & siren, on loudspeaker, coming from street, very likely, police(?), telling someone named "Gutierrez" to come out, at "address 2677 [2627] Cochran. This repeated several times, accompanied by brief siren. Then I heard talking, from our apt. complex, some laughter. Accompanied it. Possibly voices of Mrs. 'Bell and Saint Bernard with at least one other voice.

7-10-24 @11:45 Now, was just outside on steps, drinking coffee, heard Saint B. inside his bungalow, occasionally repeating: "Go/get to mommy." This said about a dozen times over last 1/2 hour. Sync noticed.

7-10-24 @ 12:24 Found my missing wood cover for compost pile of 3 milk crates, on top of some wood being thrown out, at trash bins. It had been missing for months. Pics taken before I took it back.

7-11-24 @ 00:39 After I suspended my laptop earlier, I found it rebooted instead of coming up normally a few minutes later. Then I did not restore tabs as the PC was slow. When I went to AliExpress to search for JST XH2, 2.54mm connectors & wires, I could not get any search results, no matter how I phrased the search although I'd gotten success earlier when searching for the same part, moreover, eBay search was successful for same part, minutes later. Also have had problems sending HSH files to Roberta Edgar over the last days.

7-12-24 @ 9:30AM I went to trash bins, out on street for Friday pickup. Ms. Mumbles was there along with another woman. As I approached, Ms. Mumbles wobbled from side to side for a moment, then began walking in my direction from the curb. I stopped at the entrance, she passed on my left and as she walked by, said: "Hi." I did not answer then, the other woman, younger, possibly Hispanic, also walked by me and said, in a low voice: "Go." After she passed me, I said: "Excuse me?" in a low voice. That was all, I deposited some plastic wrapping for my new mattress in a bin and went back in my bungalow.

7-12-24 @ 9:37AM Discovered this note placed [by me] in the wrong notebook ("Lab/Tech"): "7/7/24 @ 18:05 As I woke from nap, Mrs. 'Bell in extended, loud rant outside her bungalow. Now quiet.

7-12-24 @ 9:53AM As I work at laptop in living room, almost imperceptibly. Saint B. in his bungalow is talking. I can barely hear him and cannot make out words but sync noted, this for some minutes. My windows are open, his may be also, not sure about his door.

7-12-24 @ 17:53 Went to nap in bed, woke up 3 times to sounds of (1) Saint B. yelling then (2) Mrs. 'Bell yelling then(?) (3) Brother Cantinflas bellowing. (Not in that order). Some sync noticed with some of them (4) About to get up, I then heard music, out in street, of the "Thump and hum" variety.

7-12-24 @ 19:42 Tyson's little boy, walks by my steps with his dog, I had just brought out a portable chair which fell over,I went back inside for something, when I came out again a few seconds later, he walked by, brushing against the chair which was tipped over, the impact of his leg dragging it a bit. I was 2-3 feet away, on my steps as he did so. I heard him quietly mumble something, 1 word(?). I said nothing throughout.

7-13-24 @ 18:06 Saint Bernard at home with guest, talking. Since around noon. The word "Rod" heard from Saint B. more than a couple dozen times, today. Sometimes several times in 15 seconds. Just now, from the guest: "Rod, you gotto taste this." The, softly, same words repeated. Mrs. 'Bell v. loud, sporadically, since this AM.

7-14-24 @19:19 Saint Bernard mostly quiet today. Moments ago, though, I heard him in his bungalow, talking to his dogs(?), [and] say what sounded like: "Get 'em up!" But, when he repeated himself, was "Go/get to mommy," a frequently heard phrase for him. He then repeated the 2nd phrase several times. 

7-16-24 @ 5:42AM Last night and the previous one I began hearing a murmur, at the threshold of audibility. I cannot guess at the source or the location. 2 nights ago it does not seem to have continued as when I got up later in the night I do not remember hearing it. Last night, though, it was on again, off again. I last heard it at 4:30AM. Could be a radio or TV. I don't remember hearing such sounds earlier in my stay here in this bungalow or during my life. An accurate statement also covering other sound events.

7-16-24 @8:03AM The mumbling-like sounds, present last night, sporadically, are on again as I sit on my porch.

7-24-24 @ 22:33 Could not find the Hiero outline for my proposed SW Part 2 [my next book but one], had sent the flat text to editor a week ago. The editor complained in email of some computer anomalies related to my next book: "A Happy Schizophrenic." Problems editing, problems emailing files. Now OK, except for email anomalies, several today. With her only.

7-28-24 @ 10:08AM I'm in bed when, at 10AM, I hear someone, likely Brother Cantinflas but could be Saint Bernard or [the] one followed by the other, start bellowing. Seconds later, I hear: "... girls, little girls, little f***ing girls...". It ends, quiet again as I get up to pee and write this. Sync noticed, some. Done writing these words, I glance out the window and see, immediately, Brother Cantinflas go by on his bike. Back in bed, after a bit, I hear Saint Bernard and Mrs. 'Bell, one after the other, not sure which was first, both talking very loudly. It is now 11:26AM, with things somewhat quieter. Morgengrüß.

7-28-24 @ 9:30AM While in bed this AM, I heard Mrs. 'Bell yelling for some time, among her words: "... bitch ...!", "I'll knock your teeth out!", "... move ...!". Saint Bernard also joined in, also loud. I also heard a Hispanic voice, all from our complex, all outside on walkway(?). Dogs active, both of Mrs. 'Bell and Saint Bernard.

7-28-24 @ 10:14AM Second day of my scale not working right. My cell phone (not used except for taking pics) still reboots continually.

7-29-24 @ 13:06 A green pepper, serrano(?), missing since I put it, end nibbled, in the fridge, turned up this morning on my kitchen counter. Though not 100% sure. Scale malfunction for last 3 days: it displays weight for a few seconds before display goes off. [8-26-24 correction: batteries needed recharging]

7-30-24 @ 10:06AM Called B. Terrell 310-524-1212 left msg on case SO279496, Maria Estrada, closed in April 23 [2023].

7-30-24 @ 11:58AM This AM, had to tell the mailman to return a letter to sender, as I had marked on it. He was taking it top the correct address in complex (how could he have known as the address was mine though it had Nancy Gomez as recipient). I explained the difference to him, between putting it Gomez mailbox and returning it, which would cause the system to remove the wrong association. While I corrected him, Mrs. 'Bell stood on her porch, watching.

7-30-24 @ 14:05 Closed 2 cases, Brett Terrell called back said both cases closed, cause: could not reach me. By voicemail or letter. I got nothing on either case by either means. He said LAHD would reopen case(s), & get back to me with case #(s).

7-30-24 @ 15:03 Inconsistent and annoying computer  behavior: sometimes clicks or keystrokes don't register, at other times they do but with delay (much, occasionally). And I cannot, at the time, know which. Someone outside, nearby, making nonsense noises, for minutes, several times.

8-2-24 @ 9:37AM  Since I got up at 8:20AM, rapid, light bursts of light hammer(?) tapping, come from construction site across street. Implausible, sync and feedback noted.

8-2-24 @ 11:16AM Saint Bernard active, as is "coughing" dog across street.

8-2-24 @ 13:44  Saint Bernard was visited by a young woman, English-speaking, driving a white car, she stayed some 120 minutes, during conversation I could not hear much of, she did use the word "perro," or was it "cabron"? "Coughing" dog across street active these last hours(?) quite some time, anyway.

8-2-24 @ 15:26 Saint B. still on phone, on and off. I just heard him, in middle of a conversation say: "Bergendahl," followed shortly by: "It don't work like that."

9-26-24 @ 8:18AM Last night same strange murmur from within complex, sounds like a TV or radio, not a human voice, but speech at very low volume, odd intonation, cadence. Started when I went to bed at midnight, past 1AM I could still hear it. This morning, when I got up at 7:30AM, sound was gone. Then, after I went back to bed, it started again. Now I no longer hear it.

10 /2/24 at 13:32 Saint Bernard yelling occasionally since late morning. Mrs 'Bell, silent, construction workers across street relatively quiet.


10/2/24 at 8:57 Saint Bernard engaged in a monologue, for over 2 hours in more than one conversation. "Shaggy Dog" style in which I cannot make out a thread very often. Much sync observed. His main door open, screen closed, 15 ft from my door, also open. His bungalow has been dark since sunset, room lit only by the TV. Today he's been talking at times non-stop, without pause, sometimes for many minutes. All in all, several conversations lasting, total, several hours.

10/3/24 @ 10:42 a.m. Saint Bernard active continually since before I got up at about 9:30 a.m. loud, at times almost incoherent. Occasionally, Mrs 'Bell heard from inside her bungalow. His topics: a political tour d’horizon, money, marriage, security. Sync [noticed].

10/3/24 @ 15:55 Construction crew pickup truck parked across street, engine idling, rumbles for past tens of minutes.

10/3/24 @ 16:29 Pickup truck engine still rumbling I can hear it distinctly from my kitchen where I've been cooking and eating as my (former pantry) door is open.

10 /4/24 at 18:09 From Saint Bernard's open door I've been hearing an unusual voice coming from his TV(?). A voice with an unusual frequency of sibilants. It stopped when I went to sit on my steps only to resume minutes later when I went inside my bungalow again. Both our front doors open.

10/5/24 @ 12:59 Netbook mousepad unreliable recently and today. Mrs 'Bell's music, monotonous, with "thump (mostly) and hum (low frequency).

10/5/24 @ 7:41 p.m. Very loud music much of the day from Mrs 'Bell's bungalow. Even louder right now. Music odd at times.

10 /5/24 @ 21:02 Mrs 'Bell's music very loud, as a Saint Bernard's voice - he on phone. I can hear both across street. There is no light from either bungalow, both doors open. Sync noticed from Saint Bernard.

10/5/24 at 21:25 Walked by Mrs 'Bell's bungalow, up/down the walkway and the little alleys between her Bungalow and Saint Bernard's and hers and the back building. Her music loud, often a low, pounding beat, her front door cracked open, all her lights out but I did see one lit high, small window in back.

10/6/24 @ 14: 45 Problems with formatting and making backup to 160GB, 3.5" disc from laptop. I do not have permission to create folder though I had just formatted the drive.

10/7/24 @ 14:45 Workers in driveway of house just south of me, using power tools, my back Pantry door open. sync noticed, also non sequiturs: "cabrón." Tools powered rhythmically. "Coincidental" walk-bys.

10/8/24 @ 10:50 a.m. Fridge timer malfunction, was on all night with food stuff frozen as result. [Have] had hint of this in previous possible malfunction.

10/10/24 at 13:10 This AM, as I was in bed:

  1. St 7:00 a.m. a dog began making art sounds rapid fire yelps in bursts. this went on for many minutes?
  2. Another set of dog barks started a bit after the first sounds ended. This one consisted of a brief high-pitched yelp followed by something like a long-drawn loud groan- also from the dog[.] this sound was also repeated for some minutes.
  3. After this Mrs 'Bell began yelling, possibly accompanied by Saint Bernard.
  4. Then the music started, probably hers. It was very loud and continued for over half hour, by then it was around 9:00 AM.
  5. The music volume diminished then stopped after I got up at 10:10 a.m.
  6. As I showered, the gardener[,] here every other week[,] started with their power tools and especially, leaf blowers. They cycled them rapidly revving them up and about every second or two.
  7. Now, as I write this, music is still on but at lower volume.

10/10/24 at 20:33 Most or all afternoon there was loud music with "thump." At first from Mrs 'Bell, then from St Bernard, across from my door. her door partly open, his completely. I help move trash bins to the curb after which, space [was] cleared by my crawl space opening, I started eliminating the wood I've been keeping there for years. Staging it all by my steps, away from the walkway. Then called City trash services to arrange hauling tomorrow when the trash trucks comes by. Got through to someone immediately. When I came back out to sort of wood, wrap them in bundles, place them by the curb, under street light[,] Mrs 'Bell came out of her bungalow and began a conversation which turned into a rant, with Saint Bernard who also came out. This as I was packing and moving wood to curb. She was soon almost incoherent, I heard words like: "your dog...  jump... wood... I'm complaining... bite... won't take it..." This in a shouting voice, accompanied with obscenities. I was 2-5 feet away, trying to ignore them. At times I turn my back to her. Saint Bernard joined in but it was she, making most noise. Her rant became more pointed, she said she'd call fire department, about all the wood, that she wouldn't stand for it. "Who does he think he is." Very loud, within feet of me. As I continued ignoring her, moving more wood to curb, she said: "I'll throw it back in his yard," loudly, defiantly with obscenities. The three Velasquez daughters, walk into the complex at that moment. They said nothing, just walked by silently as Mrs 'Bell continued her senseless, angry rant. Saint Bernard occasionally laughed. She left, going back to her bungalow but came back, talking about leaving her door open, watching at night, maybe expressing fear of someone going to her bungalow. Saint Bernard began along the same line. Things quieted down, as I continued moving wood and sawing pieces too big for regulations. He came back out and began accusing me of stealing (there were only the two of us around), said: "thief... police... fire hazard... tired of it..." was on phone saying: things. Also talking to me. I kept my back turned and went inside for a moment. I said nothing throughout, not even looking at him. at one point he said: "It's too late, they're coming" or "I called them." Said he'd report me to the fire department. Said: he's stealing stuff." He was coherent throughout but less loud than Mrs 'Bell who was, at times, not making sense but very loud. She seemed very angry, was vulgar, not always coherent. He also said the fire department would come and inspect. As I write this, her music has been on, non-stop, since mid-afternoon when his music was on, loud , for 1/2 to 1 hour it is now 21:05 on Thursday 10/10/24.

10/10/24 @ 23:03 Mrs 'Bell's music has just stopped, minutes ago.

10/13/24 @ 14:13 Saint Bernard on phone for most of the afternoon. Not very loud, sync noticed.

10/13/24 @ 14: 33 Saint Bernard off the phone.

  • At 11:02 p.m. cannot find a roll of blue painters tape I've been using to tape my flyer strips outside, by the curb. Also found a vintage Toshiba laptop with badly damaged screen and cracked top. I don't remember an accident in which I could have caused this much damage.

10/17/24 at 13:42 Tyson's son loud this AM as I lay in bed. Was walking on walkway, or on sidewalk or on grass in complex. Over many minutes, I heard: "OK, big boy, come on." "Stop," "Go," "Bit." there was no other voice. Mrs 'Bell and Saint Bernard almost silent today. At 13:45 I called 311 for:

10/17/24 @ 20:14 Continuous, or near so, "Thump and hum" music coming from Mrs 'Bell's bungalow. Front door ajar. Since the afternoon.

0/17/24 @ 21:23 Very audible music with "Thump" and "Hum" still coming from Mrs 'Bell's, mostly non-stop. Some sync noted. I'm in living room, my doors closed.

10/17/24 at 23:27 Same music continues without pause.

10/17/24 @ 23:44 Music stopped minutes ago.

10/18/24 @ 18:53 My spatula for straining kefir which I'd used yesterday, was missing. Around noon was when I noticed. Looked for it fruitlessly. When shopping at Advance Market at 14:43 and, minutes ago, found it behind a plate on my drying rack over the sink. It had not been there previously as I had looked there earlier.

10/18/24 @ 18:57 Mrs 'Bell's music started again about less than an hour ago.

10/19/24 at 1:36 a.m. Likely from Mrs 'Bell's, the same "Thump and hum" music for the last very long time.

1019/24 @ 2:14 a.m. Music continuing, the same beat.

10/20/24 @ 12.55 p.m. Curious dog "cough" from across street.

10/20/24 @ 23:56 Music from Mrs Bell on all night, since around sundown. "Thump and hum," entirely. Almost without interruption although there was none in the morning or afternoon.

10/20/24 @ 23:59 As I cut some wood on my miter saw on the steps, Mrs Bell and the Saint [Bernard] began complaining outside they came, to the walkway. She: "There's something wrong with that man." "He walks around here." "... skid row..." "... You should call police, that's what I do..", He [meaning Saint Bernard]: "... [to police(?)] on cell]: "You need to come out here.", "He';s got wood stored." "A fire hazard." "... had enough..." and more along this vein. "He's using a chop saw." "I can't hear the game." No police came, no one.


10/22/24 at 18:40 Both Mrs Bell and the Saint [Bernard] loud. She yelling inside her bungalow, profanity used. He in his, while not yelling, he's loud. Both their doors open, his fully, hers cracked.

10/22/24 at 21:34 [The] Ondsel_ES_2024.2.2.37640 - linux-x86_64 appimage did, surprisingly, start earlier today. I left it on, hours later it was no longer running. Since then I've been unable to start it. I've not shut down the desktop today, Ubuntu 24.

10/23/24 @ 10: 09 the Saint [Bernard] and Mrs Bell, inside her bungalow, talking to each other. the door is open, they are yelling, having a conversation. They stop as I write these words. Her door is wide open.

10 / 23/24 @ 12.47 p.m. My cold, cold shower pump did not work. I had adjusted it yesterday and it worked though with some unreliability.

10/23/24@12.50 p.m. Mrs Bell in her bungalow, loud, at times yelling, only her voice heard. Foul-mouth. Some sync noticed, I'm in my living room.

10/23/24 @ 1:11 p.m. Mrs Bell loud, her music also. Volume diminishes as I write this.

10/23/24 @ 22:37 Woman's voice outside, maybe at curb, making some odd sounds for last 10 minutes approximately. Sync noticed, I'm in kitchen and living room. I may have heard her before. Also, last night and for some previous nights, I've heard odd sounds which start after I go to bed. A white noise base, modified, is the best description I can make. Sounds like something being brushed or dragged lightly against/on the ground. Random component of duration and loudness, maybe pitch.

10/24/24 at 19:55 Toilet bowl erratic again: has begun filling for no reason (at night, after I'm in bed) and, right now, refuse to feel at all though valve was on and bathroom sink worked. When I ran water and sink, bowl begin filling.

10/24/24 @ 22: 32 Same voice as yesterday night is active on curb or driveway nearby. Same oddness of voice or content. a woman's voice only. For the last several minutes as I work in living room, window to street open.

10/25/24 @ 10:09 AM I went outside with my folding chair, started taping two fliers with QR code, full page on driveways of the house to south of me and to north. As I tape the second, Mrs Bell came out, screaming. I said nothing, keeping my back to her as I taped the flier.

  1. The sign I'd just taped to driveway was removed moments later.
  2. There were 2 witnesses, leaning against red pickup, 09689U3, visitor permit, Gaviola A. They saw everything that followed:
  3. Mrs Bell shouted: "I'll beat you with a stick as she walked toward me. "
  4. Yelling, she said: "you aren't as crazy as you look."
  5. "... on the driveway..." she said
  6. "I'm calling the police on your ass."
  7. "... peeking in my window... "
  8. "I live alone"
  9. "I'll call the police if I catch this bitch peeking in my window again."
  10. "That man doing all kinds of sick shit."
  11. Police arrive about a half hour later
  12. Mrs. Bell and Saint B. both accuse me of:  (1) stealing a ladder (2) stealing wood (3) creating a fire hazard (4) cutting a hose (5) cutting wood with a saw (6) He accuses me of playing music to annoy his dogs which, he says, he knows I don't like.
  13. I said to police there was music past midnight, 2:00 a.m., 4:00 a.m., 6:00 a.m. I keep diary entries and walk on walkways only to observe, note and distribute observations on my site, newsletter, etc, emails.
  14. The police give me warning to not talk to these two neighbors.
  15. I got incident number 1839 and business card with police IDs from two police: Arrellanos 41236, Balatas 40851 on 10/25/24 @11AM. Classified as "Ongoing neighbor dispute at 2622 S. Cochran. Kept the peace and advised."

10/25/24 @ 11:08 [AM] Police just left, call by Mrs Bell. officers a r r e l l a n o Arellano 41236, ballet test b a l a t a s 40851-381, date 10/25/24, 10 a time 11:00, incident 1839, quote ongoing neighbor dispute at 2622 South Cochran. tip the piece and advice. and quotes during conversation, officer warned me to not talk to Mrs Bell and Saint Bernard. I said I keep diary entries for years and distribute them. I was accused by both Mrs Bell and the saint. she: stealing, peeking in her windows, stealing ladder and wood calmer. he calling loud music, upsetting his dog's deliberately, holding of having a fire hazard, much wood, noise with salt. before two LAPD left I asked for a card and incident number no police report was made.

10/25/24 @ 13:03 a couple of nights ago, the music was so loud, I came out, walking down the walkway to see. I think Mrs Bell door was open a crack, also Brother Cantinflas' door was fully open and as I walked by I heard him say: "What are you doing around here?" The music was loud.

10/25/24@14:02 Called LAHD, 213-275-3493 on status of my complaint SO299647. Left a message.


10/25/24@ 14:26 When police warned me to not talk to either; I said that I didn't, adding that I turned my back on them and demonstrated this.

10/25/24 at 15:52 took pictures of gallon linseed oil container to sell on Craigslist but, though I made several attempts, I could not get any of the front only the back and top.

1025-24 at 1648 Saint Bernard on phone for some time, his main door open, on phone, loud, repetitive. At [the] same time, Mrs Bell Mrs Bells music is on, I can hear it distinctly, all afternoon , at times very loud,. I'm in living room working.

10/25/24 at 16:54 Mrs Bells screaming from inside or bungalow, her music still loud.

10/25/24 at 18:00 Had put a container of oats near curb to donate, earlier in the day. Minutes ago, out to retrieve jeans and underwear drying on fence, I found the contents spilled on the lawn and the container on ground outside my window. With some difficulty, I took about 10 pictures and made a video.

10/25/24 at 19:28 My eyeball warmer does not work even when put directly on a 5 volt lab power supply. And, when I try to measure its resistance, it gives erratic readings on DVM.

10/27/24 @ 16: 43

  1. Visio malfunction, cannot activate file with mouse.
  2. Ubuntu erratic with mouse clicks.
  3. Ubuntu crash as I try to play back MP4 video shot of front lawn mess
  4. Ondsel does not start regular reliably.
  5. Volume on music set at Max on Ubuntu today, maybe more than once. I had not done so.
  6. Hiero does not start.

10/27/24 at 20: 04 Ubuntu 24, variable delays between [mouse] clicks and action, sometimes with no action at all. Noticeable for a few days or weeks. Resources: approximately 42% of main memory used, CPU usage High however - tracker/miner approximately 25%. "Isolated Web Co" (zombie Firefox process?) also about 25% with about 2 GB used. 35 Fox tabs active. Desktop at times unusable because of this.

10/31/24 @ 1:27 AM Minutes ago, found one of two sets of screwdriver bits assortments, under some pieces of PCB colliding and Vector board which I had in an Acromills wide bin. There would have been no sense in my putting tools in a place for material storage.

10/31/24 @ 12:58 Saint Bernard on phone for over 10 minutes, loud, sync.

10/31/24 @ 14: 02 Saint Bernard still on phone, loud, laughter, sync. I'm in bungalow, living room, bedroom, working. Both our main doors open. He's in his living room.

10/31/24 @ 14:25 Saint Bernard quiet now. Words/phrases of conversation: "... they're going to come after you...", "... social security...", loud, emphatic, "... police...", "... jail...", "... shit," etc.

10/31/24 @ 14:41 Mrs Bell after St Bernard had become silent, came to him. not sure what about but she began complaining about someone possibly me. He agreed, words used: "police ," " she's accumulating a file "... she's acting faster since I called police," "I called her right then" "... going to get him out..." More negatives along these lines. I said nothing, did nothing throughout the morning and afternoon.

10/31/24 @ 18:53 Walking on walkway, in complex and on sidewalk, I hear both Saint Bernard and Mrs Bell are either very loud or screaming. Each in respective bungalow, both main doors open, not talking to each other, on phone? As I only hear their voices and no others.

10/31/24 @ 19:05  Both the Saint [Bernard] and Mrs B[ell] quiet, music, loud with drumming, repetitive just started. Her door open a crack. I hear music coming from there.

10/31/24 @ 22:44 I can hear Mrs Bell's music again. Unusual in the thumping bass drum accompanying it. Her door is slightly open, though it's cold.

10/31/24 @ 23:18 Her music still on, 8:00 AM same thumping beat, now with low frequency hum. Mostly on since last entry.

10/31/24 @ 23:57 Music Still on, loud singing voice with heavy bass "thump." I'm in my living room front and bedroom door front and bedroom doors closed, one window open, kitchen and pantry doors open.

11/1/24 @ 00:33 AM Music continues beat "thump and hum," very repetitive.

11/1/24 @ 8:33 AM Workers: very light tapping outside, at construction site(?). It stopped and changed as I got up, as I walked by my open front door, I thought I heard a radio or TV and Saint Bernard's living room: "... he's got a problem" then immediately after: "no problem." Not 100% sure though [of this]. His front door is also open.

11/1/24 at 9:28 AM Call from LAHD complaint, I answered, immediately heard two clicks then silence. I repeated myself, said "I can't hear you" then, after more silence, I hung up.

11/1/24 @ 13:28 Found this AM a piece of onion I'd throw in the trash last night, back on the floor where I had picked it up from. Sitting on sidewalk near curb, I've been able to hear the Saint [Bernard] very loud on his phone inside his bungalow, with door open.

11/2/24 @ 00:36 AM Music from Mrs Bell continues unabated.

11/4/24 @ 15:39 Woke up this AM to rapid, light, prolonged tapping, probably coming from construction site across the street. As with the last few days, Saint Bernard, Mrs Bell and Brother Cantinflas unusually (though not completely) quiet.

11/6/24@ 01:01 AM I'm up, Mrs Bell's music still heard, her door closed, thumping base, monotonous, heard. Since, probably, before midnight. her lights are out, Saint Bernard has [a] light on in bedroom.

11/6/24 @ 2:08: AM Music still on, same monotonous beat, [loud] bass.

10/6/24 @ 11:16 AM Last night's music was still on at 3:00 a.m.

11/6/24 at 17:30 Walking down the walkway toward the building in the back to check volume of loud music. Walked back, I heard loud talk from two people and very loud music. Then Mrs Bell started screaming from inside her bungalow, with door open: "I'll call the police.. bitch," "... police told him to stay out of the back area...", she spoke to Saint Bernard who said: "If police come, I'll come out..." She's walking back and forth on walkway, shouting, obscenities for the last several minutes[,] I'm in bungalow. I came out to gauge the loudness, whether her door's open and what her near neighbors: Brother C. [Cantinflas], the Velasquez, Gomez and others can hear.

11/6/24 @ 18:02 Walking back from putting cardboard box in trash bin (just got pili nuts/ebay), Mrs Bell started screaming at my back: "They'll put your ass in jail tonight, mark my word." I said nothing throughout.

11/6/24 @ 23:13 Went from kitchen where I was frying an onion to bathroom to check for the source of a scalp itch. Came back to find my onion sizzling and the bottom of pan brown. I turned the induction heater off, it had been on lower setting for many minutes (tens of minutes?) without pan bottom turning brown. Not the first time this has happened. [Possible indication of induction stovetop malfunction]

11/7/24 @ 19:47 Had been napping, then a pounding beat began. A bit after, I got up and went to bathroom. The music stopped immediately. This morning, around 10:00 a.m. Mrs. Bell, St Bernard and (I think) Brother Cantinflas began talking loudly on walkway, outside, nearby. After a long time, I got up to wash. It stopped immediately.

11/9/24 @ 2:56 PM Power outage started a few minutes ago.

11/12/2 24 at 6: 06 a.m. Blank

11/13/24 @ 13:53 I had been napping, starting at about 13:00 when, later, I began hearing Saint Bernard's voice, continuously going on for some time. He stopped only to start again shortly after. I eventually got up and went to sit in the sun. He continued, non-stop until I went back inside, it had been continuous, not loud, droning on monotonously for, again, many minutes. Now silence, sync noticed. Mrs Bell silent all day.

11/18/24 at 14:36

  1. Called LA Housing Rights Center, 800-477-51771, was disconnected #2 disconnected call #3 I left message.
  2. A few days ago. I put some extra USPS envelopes at Curb for donation, Tyson's son was nearby. soon after I saw the approximate 10 envelopes, some padded, scattered. thinking the wind has scattered them, I stack them again and put several stones on top. again, looking later, I found them scattered.
  3. Mrs Bell and St Bernard both much quieter in last days though not completely.
  4. Finding documents with brief fragments of text from other documents I'm editing which do not belong there. notice this several times in the last few weeks.

11/20/24 @ 14:11 Called LAHD 866-557-7368 left message after email reply telling me to file complaint after I asked about rules on reimbursement for termite inspection.

11/22/24 at 9: 08:00 a.m. Music from Mrs Bell's last night, was on when I came home from Costco at 7:00 p.m. continuing almost non-stop until 4:00 a.m., when I last heard it. Also, when I went out to check, I found, at about 2:00 a.m. or so, her music on and lights out.
11/22/24 @ 15:42 Housing Rights, Gloria. Called back!

  1. I must ask LAHD on $53.64 regulation on reimbursement.
  2. It's against the law: no charge for termite work she cannot charge me for termite work [except] only if I caused it.
  3. {To be] reimbursed for [termite] inspection: a civil action a civil issue, must go to court.

11/25/24 at 18:41 Neighbors and complex mostly quiet, unusually so. but a pattern of odd sounds and noises:

  1. In morning, a light typing calling probably from across street, on construction site.
  2. Mechanical grinder sounds, also from construction sounds.
  3. Some sync [noted].
  4. Saint Bernard and Mrs Bell occasionally in conversation on walkway.
  5. Missing flier strip [an] ODT file, "binary poison," had to remove to remake it from memory.
  6. Other frequent computer problems continue.

11/26/24 at 16:40

  1. Cannot find some sauna 2D Visio CAD I'd completed, must redo.
  2. Starting around 7: 3O a.m. slight, odd sounds with sink at times from construction site: - Very, light tapping, regular and pointless? - A grinding sound often regular, very light. - It all stopped when I got up and showered at about 8:30 a.m. only to resume somewhat throughout the morning.
  3. Saint Bernard and Mrs Bell very quiet, little or no voices. However, "hum and thump " music often heard starting evenings, until midnight.

========================= from interim notes in spiral bound ===============

- Yelling, she said: "you aren't as crazy as you look", "... on driveways..." " I'm calling the police on your ass" " ... "peeking in my window." Two or more Hispanic workers leaning against pickup truck observing silently as she yelled at me. She: "I'll call the police if I catch this bitch peeking in my window again." "That man doing all kinds of sick shit."  Police arrive about a half hour later. Mrs. Bell and Saint Bernard both accuse me of:  (1)stealing a ladder (2) stealing wood (3) creating a fire hazard (4) cutting a hose (5) cutting wood with a saw. The police give me warning to not talk to these two neighbors. I got incident number 1839 and business card with police IDs from two police: Arrellanos 41236, Balatas 40851 on 10/25/24 @ 11AM. Classified as "Ongoing neighbor dispute at 2622 S. Cochran. Kept the peace and advised."

10/29/24

  • At LATTC Administration Building.
  • Was asked to move by employee as I sat at the counter.
  • Did so.
  • Was asked to move again minutes later.
  •  I asked "where to?".

11/28/24 @ 3:56 AM. The strangest, most physically uncomfortable day & night in my life. Starting at around 7:30AM yesterday, when, still in bed, I began hearing noises from the construction site across the street at the partly completed apartment buildings: 2637 S Cochran (possibly wrong address as directly across street is 2638 ½, a blue house) and net to the mostly finished house is another, still under construction with the one just to the north is 2629, an old house, single story, anomaly? Coming from the work site were sounds I’ve come to associate with the place. (1) A light, repeated, rapid, to me pointless from point of view of construction work, tapping. Tap-tap-tap, regular as a metronome, pausing, then repeating itself. This sound went on until past noon, intermittently. (2) Another characteristic noise was a light grinding high-pitched sound, coming from a tool rubbing against metal, sometimes for extended periods, mostly brief single sounds or rapid bursts, always very light, also pointless-seeming. I went there to look the place over & came back to dismantle some metal pieces from a bed frame lying discarded on grass across the street. Did not speak to anyone though there was some of what I call “whooping it up” from workers there, sync occasionally noticed.
I had a headache from the time I got up & took an aspirin which did not help. In fact, I began feeling worse around noon. The odd construction sounds stopped in the early afternoon. Saint Bernard & Mrs. ‘Bell mostly, but not entirely quiet throughout. Then music started, at an increasingly high volume. I had gone back to bed w.o. coffee or a meal, began to feel worse and worse. The music continued, starting around 1PM, almost non-stop until midnight. Before midnight I began hearing a man’s voice, it went on for a long time, in a tone which carried. He spoke non-stop before being joined by a woman’s voice. I could identify her as Mrs. ‘Bell. She got louder until, at times, she was screaming. Obscenities were often used, the music mostly on, loud, of the “hum & thump” variety. At times extremely loud! At 2AM, I could still hear her, possibly the man as well. He bid her farewell from the walkway, in a loud voice: “See you later [or] take care, momma.”
Now as to me. I had been in bed from 1PM on, with an increase in: (1) nausea (2) headache (3) spells of dizziness lasting less than a second, intense and repeated ~12 times (I’d have fallen, I think if I’d been standing) (4) joint pain – in my elbows though I tried to keep my arms straight (5) A pain in my left hip, severe. (6) Numbness/tingling in fingertips – though not much unless I lie flat on my back. I eventually used my Diclofenac which may have helped. There was mostly silence after the man left. I got up at about 3AM, right now, I feel no dizziness, no hip pain, no joint pain, only slight headache, only slight queasiness. All in all much better! It is silent outside. I still feel weak.

12/7/2024 @ 17: 24 Working and living room after four parts skit I hear Saint Bernard talking loudly talking, loud, front door open, no light on except for glow of TV. He's making little sense, [saying] something about: "get him/shoot him," next word out of his mouth: "sardines"  then rambling talk continues. Frequent sync noticed. I come out, sit on porch and quietly listen before going back inside to write this.

12/7/2024 @ 21:40

  • I'd hung a towel on coat hanger and wood extension on fence to dry. After a while, came out to find it lying on grass strip by curb, dirty. I put it back on fence. "Miss Mumbles" later walking by me as I stood near my steps, working facing away from her [she] startled me by loudly shouting: "Hi!" then: "Do they fit you?" I said: "Excuse me?" She repeated herself, had been holding some shirts on coat hanger. I replied in the negative. She took them to the fence and hung them. When I came out again, later, I found my towel on the hedges somewhat cleaned. brought it inside, [now] washing it again.
  • As with many nights now, I'm hearing coming from Mrs Bells music with [her] "thump and hum" [music].

12/8/24 @ 16:12 after some shopping at Advance market, I brought in solar stuff I've worked on today. then Mrs Bell's "thump and hum music" started.

  • Last night, just as I went to bed, I began hearing a rustling.
  • Like sound, a modified white noise like a plastic sack being dragged sporadically. it had a random component and was it first very faint but, over the next 2 hours, grew and volume until it was unmistakable. I have heard the several times, always at night, always? after I go to bed.

12/9/24 @ 6:22AM woke up, brushed teeth, adjusted lab power supply and turned it on when I heard "stop it!" It came from nearby, likely inside complex then seconds later when I came out the steps and put mail on mailbox someone in complex, said: "stop!" I don't know who or what they were doing as I did not look at them fully though I saw some movement on the walkway near street.

12/10/24 @ 13:01 Found one tape measure red, in a place where I had not put it. Inside a blue bin, large, along with some power supplies and cables. it was out of sight, I'm missing for over a week.

Dean: for December 4:22 p.m., sander [I bought from Craigslist]

12/13/24 @ 15: 18 Tyson's son, walking by my Bungalow as I stood working, just threw something which bounced off my living room window as I stood, facing my computer, walking on treadmill. After he passed by my door, I saw him glance back at my open door. He said nothing throughout - Saint Bernard and Mrs Bell and Brother Cantinflas very quiet.

12/13/24@ 00 Found an LCD 40 character display, of which I have several, in a shoe box where I keep it with other parts. it was broken. having difficulty taking pics with my Sony Bloggy. It usually either does not take a pic or, when I transfer to PC, some have disappeared. Happened today.

12/15/2024 @ 12: 49 In bed at about 1:00 p.m., yesterday until 2:30 a.m. . Felt [very] sick. monotonously, quietly coughing dog active now, from across street. same as last couple of days. Single or double coughs mostly, on for maybe a half hour now.

12/16/24 @ 7:36AM Coco nibs, ordered made at 6:30 a.m. canceled at 7:20 a.m. not by me fraud complaint service request number 1-488770865164. I spoke with JV or JB change password recommended item shown out of stock yet I was given as canceling the order

12/16/2024@12: 44PM Saint Bernard on phone since before noon. loud, I can hear him slightly from across the street. though I can sometimes make out the thread of his conversation. his screen door closed front door open.

12/17/2024@9: 55AM No eBay password change [made].

12/17/2024@ 12: 07:00PM Much sporadic, talk and with sync throughout the morning, with singing and whistling, Etc.

12/19/24@1:24AM In kitchen minutes ago, working on fridge / freezer insulation, a dog barks in a pattern, faint, peculiar way for at least several minutes. then, as I go to living room, I began hearing the low growl of an engine being gun repeatedly, at a rate of about one per second. it, too, goes on for some time. now, I'm not sure if it's continuing. Neighbors in complex almost completely quiet, I rarely hear them today rarely heard them today but, outside the sun myself at curb and on lawn in complex, much talk, noise, open whooping it up. by DWP employees excavating. I had asked Aurelio yesterday if I could have some scrap glass fiber installation, he asked why I replied sauna, he agreed saying I might check with him periodically today he said you what song was is after asking why I needed it showing him a sample of what I mean, he asked what I needed It for. when I replied: sauna, he asked what is that?

12/19 / 24 at 1:40AM the engine gunning sound on again.
12/19/24 @ 23: 57 Saint Bernard very active verbally today on phone, I guess for 6 hours. Themes: #1 money/bank #2 sickness/hospital #3 violence/crime. I noticed[?], he and his bungalow, main door open, very loud at times.

12/20/24 @ 8:33 non at midnight. 833-574-2273, call Kaiser Permanente appointment center looking for faster appointment than December 27th 2024 Friday, 11:00AM, Dr Myint, at Culver/Marina (Washington Boulevard ). no sooner appointment available

12/22/24@ 8:27 a.m. Catherine said I must have authorization from person receiving the donation of recurring transfer. she also was confused about what I was trying to do, thought I was wanting to change amount I receive or return funds. the first person I called was abruptly disconnected, and my phone had problems dialing the number.

12/25/24 @ 21: 03 Mrs 'Bell's music is on, loud, I can hear it from across the street. On for hours, her front door partly open even though it's cold outside. Last night, I heard music coming from elsewhere, till late, also a peculiar dog bark, until after midnight, maybe even past 1:00AM. Then after the music ended, a strange rustling sound began. Faint(?) at first, it grew in volume, while it had a random quality, on/off, etc. Sounded like a bag dragged hesitantly over concrete. I've heard similar sounds before, recently. In went on for some time. Saint Bernard and Brother Cantinflas and Mrs Bell otherwise relatively quiet - except for her music which sometimes starts in late afternoon, continuing until midnight at times, always with her door open. Today, though, she was loud at times, both on walkway and sidewalk.

12/27/24 @ 9:44 Coming out of my bungalow, I literally came within a foot of running into Brother Cantinflas as he happened to walk by on the walkway. In general, an increasingly common occurrence nowadays.

12/30/24 @ 9:27AM

12/31/24 at 15:03 Trying to record Mrs 'Bell's loud music, she turned it down as I stepped outside to record. I heard her say immediately . Last night, I heard the frequent white noise, like a plastic sack dragged on concrete, random element.

12/31/2024 at 17:34

  • Found the fan blade which had been removed from a DC-DC converter, about 300 watts I've used in the past to charge scooter packs from solar. It was lying on my oscilloscope by rolling wardrobe, near my lab bench. I had not put it there.
  • Much sync noticed in last days but immediate neighbors unusually quiet.

1/1/25 @ 2:13AM A couple of days ago a man, Hispanic, Jini(?) said he'd inspected my smoke alarm and carbon monoxide sensors, asked me to sign a paper and write my name which I did and give my number, which I did not. When I said he could go into my bungalow, he replied he'd done so. I was sitting outside, my door was open, I think I heard him knock on other doors and saw a paper on Saint Bernard's door. He had a paper on clipboard for me to sign I gave him a flyer.

1/1/25 at 16:51PM Found a SATA/IDE to USB adapter I'd been looking for for 2 days, under my treadmill.


1/2/2025 at 16:47

  • Robert, found on craigslist, in Fresno, 559-763-765-8128, has Trina 285W, used panels for $25 each plus $5 to deliver, total $30 each. Said he'd call, never did, did not reply to 2nd Craigslist message. That was a few months ago.
  • Today, I took a part of microwave oven in trash, this assembled at curb/sidewalk. Response from Mrs 'Bell and St Bernard was quick and lasted on and off until now. She complained outside on walkway loudly about someone, he also came outside, they talked, loudly, may have made calls, words mentioned: "Health Department," "Fire Department," "fire hazard," "Blow up," "Tired of it," "Took pictures," "Taking to court next month," "Moving out," "Wanted you to take to have the pictures instead of fire department," "Police called." (Added on 1/2/25 @ 19:42 Heard Saint Bernard walk by as I'm outside working [assembling vertical garden frame and bottles]: "We're going to kill him.") Also much sync, verbal and physical from them both. I studiously ignore them throughout as I worked outside, scavenging parts and assembling my vertical garden. The two of them only, no other complaints by other tenants. I cleaned up afterwards also used scrap wood scrap and cardboard to block two crawl space entrances to: #1 Keep vermin out of my bungalow. #2 Blowing air through crawl space to reduce mold discovered by inspection, I paid for #3 Possibly use possibly use ozone at times, if I'm not indoors to sterilize (I've noticed smell of sewage in last few days in bathroom and living room), #3 may not be allowed, I must check with City.

1/3/2025 at 22:19 Found the cardboard and lamp pedestal weight I put to block air flow and crawl space to reduce mold gone, replaced by a piece of wood which only partly blocks the screen. The other piece of wood I cut and wedged behind bungalow, under kitchen, with fan to circulate air (forthcoming), is still there. It is essential I block the second entrance to crawl space, leaving [only] one opening on other side of house for air to flow.

1/5/2025 at 11:35AM Mrs 'Bell and Saint Bernard had a brief kvetchgesang minutes ago, now I hear sync from power tools at construction site across street.

1/6/2025 @ 22:08 Cars and tools and peoples (Saint Bernard +) sync with my movements today. Also much coincidental “walk-bys” by both tenants and others today.

1/8/2025@ 22:00 Quiet all day, very little sounds though some sync from both complex and construction site. little voice heard from Saint Bernard today, (some) more from Mrs Bell.

1/11/2025 at 13:09 Saint Bernard active verbally all day. for hours, much synchronization, in rambling, near non-stop, “Shaggy Dog” mode, frequent laughter and repetition, dogs mostly quiet. Mrs Bell quiet today.

1/11/25 @ 13:35 Mrs. Gomez, out walking family dog, replied: "Bye" - distinctly heard, to my "Hi." I smiled and said nothing.

1/12/25 @ 14:35 Saint Bernard talking almost all day, sync & much laughter.

=================================================================

Taken from notes made as events were unfolding, here is my itinerary on three days' bus rides and shopping: 1-10-25, 1-13-25 and 1-15-25. Original handwritten notes kept, additional comments and events to be made available in HSH #38.

  1. E Line to Terminus, Atlantic Station
  2. 1/13/25 @~1pm, ID1603, Montebello Bus Service #10, southbound to Whittier and Greenwood
  3. Walked about 1 mile, past Montebello Way
  4. Bad directions from 1 who said Montebello Way was further south
  5. While walking back, got no directions from 7-11 employee
  6. Got correct directions from 1 who pointed me north
  7. Bad directions from 1, possibly at Carmelita bus stop, he said Montebello Way did not exist
  8. Went to 544 Montebello Way, business had moved
  9. Montebello Bus Service #20, ID2025, northbound, did not stop for me at Carmelita stop, another bus soon seen going in opposite direction, ID1805
  10. I walked from Carmelita back to Whittier where I was able to use bathrooms for a very pressing need.
  11. 1/13/25 @ 17:45, #20, ID1805, eastbound on Whittier did stop for me to board at Greenwood
  12. 1/13/25 @ 19:00:26 bought items at Walmart $66.77
  13. --------------- coming back from Walmart --------------------
  14. Took #20 back (but no written note on this)
  15. 1/13/25 @ 20:17, Montebello Bus Service, #10, ID2026, I got on at Whittier and Greenwood, westbound. Later, driver said "last stop," because of the time. A passenger also exited at this stop, I had closed my eyes throughout most of the ride. Was almost napping when he told me to exit. When I asked how to get to E Line terminus, he replied a Metro bus across street, at car wash could take me to a Metrolink station, that they were open all night and would have lavatories (I had not brought up the subject, neither had I asked about Metrolink, having said “E Line”). I’m not sure what to make of this event.
  16. I do not know the area, it was night and, as he had turned onto Garfield just at Whittier Blvd, I became disoriented – unable to tell east from west.
  17. 1/13/25 @ 20:36, Montebello Bus Service #10, ID1303 at Whittier and Garfield, hesitated when I asked which bus I should take, he then said "#10," across street, at car wash. My driver had said this bus line did not run anymore at this time. 1 passenger boarded this bus before I asked driver for directions. He said I was headed in wrong direction.
  18. At the same stop, next #10, bus ID=2033.
  19. Another #10 driver, when I asked if he went to the E Line, replied: “Normally, yes.”
  20. Asked 2 people for directions to west.
  21. 1/13/25 @ 9:01pm I got coffee at Starbucks #49421, paid $3.95, also asked employee for directions to west. Was unable to get clear answer.
  22. I finally figured out the way by looking at the trail of airplanes going toward LAX and later confirmed by seeing the lights of Mount Wilson to my right.
  23. I walked about two miles to Terminus of Metro Rail E Line.
  24. Got home at ~11:30pm

1/15/25 at 9:15AM  Noticed this AM my prescription glasses missing from glass case in backpack, though the clip-on shades are still there. I was intending to glue permanently the stripped screw which causes the lens to fall out. Missing: glasses, lens, screw. Present: case, clip-on shades. Tried to file police report of theft online, report refused as break-in involved, I then called but, as LAPD is on "tactical alert," I thought it better to call back or visit in person.

  • This AM noticed the 2 items I'd left by sidewalk a milk crate & plastic food container, both labeled "Free, take" had been put in a trash bin or next to one. Pics taken.
  • Both Saint B & Mrs. 'Bell quiet today, no music, little talk ([that] from her only).
  • Just now, the "Tiny Terror" walked up to me as I stood against our fence, looking. As soon as I noticed him, I flattened myself against fence to let him pass. That was not enough as he stopped, said "Excuse me," I moved a few feet to grass strip, as he passed, he said: "Good!" He'd been coming from south of our complex. 2 witnesses were nearby. I'd been looking at my kitchen window from the street. I said nothing throughout.
  • Yesterday, as I vacuumed, a man came up, asked if the chair I had on grass nearby was for taking. I said no and went back inside from doorstep, he spoke again, I did not reply. My chair was not taken but I'm now a bit more careful.
