Texts with Ma, Pin Ed, - March 2025 . . . 
there's much Harbin Hot Springs' ethnography writing in the following


Saturday, March 1 2025 

Hi Ma, Ed, Pin! How are you? I hope this finds you well with some possible explorations /adventures even this weekend! Car-camped in a nice new spot near Y 2 miles from the Harbin gatehouse.    Heading in momentarily for 24 hours, checking in at the gatehouse. Here are some textings from February -  http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2025/02/eel-river-california.html Fondly, regards, Scott

March 2 

Hi Ma, Pin, Ed, How are you doing? How is your weekend going? I just called Ann Brown Brown at Wisdom Creek Ranch in NE Oregon at about 7:30 am PT (and could the call have been recorded and summarized even by AI and ML???), and ended up speaking with her husband Tim Brown Brown for about 45 minutes about extreme longevity and aging reversal genetic drug therapies and genetics in many ways, curiously and interestingly, and then at the close of the call (when the hostile and violent ? "blue car" person mr "schmidt" and search on these here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2025/02/eel-river-california.html - pulled up next to me in my vehicle curiously), I said to Tim that I was calling about asking if I could come to the ranch (in seeking to stay alive ... re ishvara bob hartley and harbin organized crime internationally??? per my email to veterinarian and cousin Dr. Ann Brown last night and you), and then after our talking, I said to Tim (and he said in the middle of our talk that Ann had a vet call coming in ... a veterinary call?, a call with even a veteran e.g. from Vietnam? ... with even Bob Mueller, former head of the FBI??? ... he didn't say), I didn't think I would ask if I could come to visit departing for NE Oregon today ... and he closed the call with a familiar-for-him "very good, sir" (his having worked in the Walla Walla WA state prison as librarian / archivist and for decades I think ... and possibly having been affected adversely by this experience, from his external demeanor many times in visiting them at the ranch ... But in waiting for the 2025 Toyota Sienna Woodland minivan to arrive, and while giving the 670A Ridgecrest Rd, WUaS PO Box 442, Canyon 94516 address for this leasing processes, with the metal state of CA license plates to be sent there, I don't think at this point today on Sunday that I'll head into Harbin again for the next week or so (for safety reasons ... and since ishvara bob hartley could be a bit psychopathic ... and could he even be a serial murderer? and could for landlord in Canyon 94516 for ~13 years' tom wylie especially be a serial murderer for decades??? as I continue to seek for US federal law and state of CA law to work effectively in new ways ... re for example murder questions ... and in WUaS growing a worldwide abolition movement potentially for most of 7.9 billion people on the planet ) ... So I didn't head back into Harbin this morning until my check out time of 9am PT, since Tim and I talked for so long ... and to get a shower, so instead I headed over to Clear Lake State Park to take a shower, walked in about 1 mile, again past the front gate freely (per the State Park Rangers ... and thanks to the great woman in the booth about 10 days ago who said taking a shower with walking in was "totally fine") ... but when I walked in today, I went into a restroom first to shave and brush teeth, as a vehicle pulled up, and thought I locked the door (and in the middle of brushing my teeth etc., a somewhat attractive hispanic woman opened the door curiously ... a possible prostitute even?) ... and so then after about 10-15 minutes I exited, got $2 worth of shower tokens, and tried to open both shower doors, and both were locked ... with no shower sounds ... was there prostitution going on ... with one guy still by the truck out front (as the pimp???) ... So I left walked over the bridge, sought to circle around ... but truck was still there ... who knows what was going on in the shower rooms ... and glad I could shave and brush teeth, and with no shower today, perhaps I'll try, first hypothesis, not to conflict with possible 'prostitution business hours' in a cold shower rooms) tomorrow ... to get a shower ... Abolition ... and perhaps the great woman in the booth could have known even that this Clear Lake California State Park might have a problem in these regards ... Growing an abolition movement and maybe the guy with the truck will get taken in by the local police for pimping ... as evidence and documentation might be accruing (including these queries) ... Wondering too how the US federal investigation might be going into the SF quajer meeting, and possibly other Meetings in pacific yearly meeting, and college park quarterly meeting, I decided not to go to Redwood Forest Quaker Meetinghouse in Santa Rosa this morning, but decided too in the early afternoon to drive by it in Santa Rosa and to sit briefly outside in Quaker Friendly Silence ... meditating in a Friendly manner ... and then went to trader js in Santa Rosa to get some salads and foods ... and as I came out, there appeared to be a trader j's employee by the back of my car sitting on a lamp post ... very curiously ... (and re my seeking a us federal investigation into trader js in pittsburgh on penn avenue as well as chase bank Wilkinsburg Pgh 15221 on Penn avenue too ) ... Hmm ... information technologies ... glad to have sought further US federal protection for you, Ma, Sandy and myself in these regards too ... Thoughts, questions, suggestions?  (May car-camp not far from Clear Lake State Park this evening near Soda Bay, one of the nicest towns in the area, and along Clear Lake compared with Middletown, Clear Lake, Kelseyville and Lakeport ... ) Fond regards, abolitionally, (I get the impression there could be a US federal presence in Lake county, and Sonoma county too, in some of the above regards, thank goodness), greetings from a public library in Santa Rosa, Scott (With Haskola, a Pomo person working in the Twin Pines' resort, who's smart and very interesting, I may seek to grow the 3 native American languages, one extinct - Wappo, and re Pomo and Lake Miwok languages - with MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch and AI and ML and avatar agents even, in the future - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/native%20american)

Hi Ma, Pin, Ed! How are you? You sounded great last night Ma! A 'greenway' from Longwood senior center to Dark Hollow park -    - for the next 2 centuries :) ? Am wondering if John Hennessy (Stanford  president for 16 years) could be communicating with Dich Tran at Toyota Palo Alto (who has been there for nearly 20 years), and my cousin Stanford alum Mark MacLeod, and re my and WUaS moving forward into a newly safe open Canyon 94516. There are some parallels with car-camping and Backpacking for 3.5 months on the PCT IN 1980 (and in 1982 for 1.5 months) in my tiny 2016 Toyota Prius c ... Wondering what will emerge in these regards with the 2025 Toyota Sienna Woodland van ... and re Yoga meditation, writing next Soc, Info Tech & Global Univ book, piping, piano playing , Reading fascinating books, improving my German, developing WUaS and its wiki (with a Wikidata meeting tomorrow morning) + ... and how moving into a newly safe open Canyon 94516 might lead to connecting with D.... further and for kids  ... Might it be possible with her to even get Winter House on Cuttyhunk ? Thoughts? 'Cyst' generation report ... In the left foot esp, it seems to be diminishing gradually, and as I continue to avoid foods out west which I hypothesize have flavor enhancing chemicals in them (eg Ginger Snaps from WM)  Further Thoughts ? Toyota Palo Alto is expecting delivery of vehicles tomorrow Tue and Thu ... Will see if I can head in from Lake county to Palo Alto on Wednesday possibly, and then empty my storage before Thurs 3/6/25.  . 🥰💕Fondly, Scott

8:10 am PT

Hi Ma, Ed & Pin! How are you? I got the INCREDIBLE 2025 Toyota Sienna Woodland Edition minivan yesterday from about 4 pm - 9:30 pm PT, leasing it ... drove it back past the Canyon 94516 post office, in the sequoia forest, and decided to car camp 1.8 miles south of there, past Canyon Rd turn off into Moraga, on Pinehurst road in a pull off in the green wood overlooking a valley of green ... The Sienna Woodland minivan allows me to sleep fully extended (6'4") and its a bit space age with the side doors and back hatch opening automatically ... and so amazingly well designed in many ways ... "Way opened" in a Friendly Quaker sense to get this new, partly livable-in van  ... In the Valle Vista staging area near Canyon, learning about the minivan, I am waiting for the storage unit in Rheem valley/Moraga ~5 miles away to open soon ... I'm hoping to empty my minivan a little further than I did my amazing (but too small for sleeping in since it torqued my knees) 2016 Toyota Prius C (which I sold back to Toyota Palo Alto) about a week ago ...AND even to then EMPTY the storage unit and close it by tomorrow Th 3/6/25 ... Will it be possible to move my things into a newly safe open 670 Ridgecrest Rd Canyon 94516 today and tomorrow? How might I learn this and from whom and when? Ed? (possibly Byron in Moraga, or?) Thoughts ? Fond regards, Scott (https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/?m=0)





Th March 6 2025

Hi Ma, Pin, Ed, How are you? Greetings from the Valle Vista Staging Area about 2.5 miles from the Canyon 94516 post office ... Car-camped in incredible Toyota Sienna Woodland van this morning 3.3 miles from Canyon PO in the green wood of East Bay MUD parks again ... Yoga meditation in the back of this minivan, sitting up fully with long spine, and with Yoga mudrasana too (sitting in half lotus and bending forward head to floor) is possible and generative ... Was glad ... Was able to play my Scottish small pipes from it yesterday for the first time in weeks and months even from a Toyota vehicle due to the increase in size and space ... (And may seek to put my 76 key lightweight keyboard in it today to see if it fits ... and am exploring using the sleeping board even as a desktop ... AND for playing with Lego Robotics' kits to make Lego robots in the back of this Sienna ... AAND as a possible writing desk too for "Society, Info Tech and the Global University" next book :). ... Today's either when I renew the storage space for another $269 (not sure whether this is for one month or two ... a little ambiguous this month, with a text message I just got ... and having written 670 Ridgecrest rd Canyon 94516 as the WUaS workspace on their application ... when 'way opened' to find storage in about 3 short hours, and to return the UHaul moving truck on M 1/6/25) ... so will likely wait until this afternoon to decide whether to renew OR to move all my things into 670 Ridgecrest Rd, Canyon 94516 ... in new van (but not towing a UHaul trailer or similar since I still don't have a working credit card ) ... Thoughts, questions, suggestions? Fond regards, Scott (https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Reed%20College)

March 6

I learned about it from Stanford Medicine's Jonathan Chen's Twitter feed - https://x.com/jonc101x/status/1897505706548600854  which is an interesting Tweet in itself ... Also received an email from Kaiser Permanente about the closing of a Dublin CA outpatient clinic ... abolitionally I wonder? And in the middle of the above talk, I received a GEICO insurance email about my GEICO "policy billing information
Billing Schedule
$1,184.61 03/15/2025" ... but where the 2nd or 3rd GEICO representative I spoke with said it would be 1097 per 6 months ... COULD THIS NEW AMOUNT INCLUDE THE home owner's insurance quote I got in December 2023 from GEICO for 670A Ridgecrest Road ... and might I even be able to move into a newly safe open 670A Ridgecrest Road Canyon CA 94516 this afternoon before paying the next $269 for the storage unit renewal today ? Hmm ?... Thoughts, questions? With whom to talk about all of this ... besides the intervening machine learning and AI that might parse too these text messages and communications - and re state of CA and US federal law all working together ? fond regards, abolitionally, warmly, Scott 






F March 7 2025

Hi Ma, Ed, Pin! How are you? Pulled into Harbin Hot Springs, driving from Toyota Palo Alto about 9:20 ... was working on increasing the Total Average mpg from about 27.2 mpg (a high at Toyota Palo Alto) to 31.5 mpg at 331 miles on the car total at present ... a large increase ... Toyota says this fabulous 2025 Toyota Sienna Woodland Edition minivan gets abut 35 mpg (average over the whole life of the 3 year lease, which is GREAT for a minivan like this ... and my 2016 Toyota Prius c which I just sold to them got either 44 mpg or 50 something, it being much smaller) ... Learned too that while this Sienna can tow 3500 lbs, this also involves using trailers with braking systems (which plug into the back of the car, something I haven't looked into) ... Soaking in the Harbin pools last night was wonderful, as was getting showers (after 2 days of no showers car-camping out around Canyon 94516) ... AND this morning I may have seen my first I'll call it 'humanoid robot' in the Harbin Pool area IN THE SWIMMING POOL ... it had smiley faces designed in on 2 sides, as this robotic box rolled around the pool's bottom on 4 wheels - like a BABY human sort of ? - cleaning it ... An Aiper swimming pool vacuum robot ... and here's the idea - https://aiper.com/ ... Paid $269 to the Moraga Storage place for the next month (1st month was free) ... and as I seek to move forward into a newly safe Canyon 94516 soonish ... Haven't yet checked the new GEICO insurance information I got yesterday to see whether it includes an active homeowner's insurance policy for 670A Ridgecrest Rd Canyon 94516 ... May be able to get this 2025 Sienna to average 35 mpg by the time I get back to the SF Bay Area soon by going very very slowly, sometimes 45 mph in a 65 mph zone 🙂 and choosing to get into traffic to go slowly like that coming from the SF Bay Area peninsula to Marin county over the Golden Gate Bridge .... Stay tuned, abolition-ally, fond regards, Scott 





Sun Mar 9

Hi Ed, Pin, Ma, greetings from Doyle creek at the Pacific  ocean just north of Russian Gulch State Park, and west of Mendocino Woodlands State Park 7 miles inland deep in a vast forest, all just south of the town of Fort Bragg CA (population ~7000?) at around 7:45 pm on Sat 3/8/25 ... How are you? No internet access except for emergency calls (which may not be internet) so will have to send this in the morning ... I just saw the sunset - from a pretty seaside creek through the broad sandy beach area to the ocean - location parked in my incredibly great Toyota Sienna Woodland van (it's a hippy van in a once significantly hippy area) ... and am amazed at how abundant in California great Places for roadside car camping in natural areas there are ...    After seeking info about my GEICO home owner's policy in Canyon 94516 on the GEICO website on Friday,  I called at first Liberty Mutual insurance (affiliated with GEICO) AND changed my renter's insurance address from 5816 Callowhill St Pgh 15206 to 670A Ridgecrest Canyon 94516 ... Telling them I had moved to 670A Ridgecrest Rd Canyon 94516 ... was then connected with a California licensed person about this, and then to a GEICO representative, and spoke at some length with John about the  670A Ridgecrest Rd Canyon 94516 place, adjoining the 670B place, with no swimming pool or similar (he seemed to know the property & the insurance business well interestingly) ... He said something about wildfire, and that Liberty Mutual insurance is primarily an east coast company, and that an agent would call me back possibly today Saturday  ... But no call ... Maybe Monday... Its Sunday now greetings from Fort Bragg. ... Showers aren't possible at Russian Gulch SP  for walk-ins ...back to Clear Lake SP today probably for shower ... Then WUaS News and QA in the morning .... Then maybe stay at Harbin Monday ...

And a pic with an incredible 2025 Toyota Sienna Woodland minivan from the Y intersection 2 miles from Harbin  ... (By going very slowly I got the Total Average at around 580 miles driven up to 34 mpg (which is listed for the city for this car :) ... Continuing on driving slowly ... Can I get it up to 50 mpg total average ... And then return (with people in car - MDs interested in WUaS and visiting Harbin with D....? and pulling trailers?) the  to 35 mph for the life of the 3 year lease ?

Hi Ed, Ma, Pin, how are you going and greetings from Harbin having just soaked ... Talked with Leland whom I know a bit from 2004 when he was we were both Residents, he doing mechanical and technical things ... He was cheery, and friendly and talkative in the new 2 story dressing room, talked about some out of body experiences, extra terrestrials, and experiences too with electro magnetic energy entering his body, and similar ... He's thinking of moving from Middletown, to Clearlake, ... Interesting insights into Harbin and Lake county that I hadn't gleaned from him in 2004 ... Leland retired from Harbin around the time of the Valley Fire 9/12/25 ... He as a mechanic and David, at Harbin since 1985, the electrician and building contractor ... Would make good consultants for a realistic virtual Harbin ... Perhaps in conversation with Peter Norvig and Google colleagues even ... Could Leland have been talking in the new dressing room for possible cameras in the mirrors etc? I told Leland I was moving to Canyon 94516 and he said I know where that is ... Interestingly ... How was the Chamber Music concert, Ma? :) Fond regards, Scott ( http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/virtual%20Harbin )

Pin, Ed, Ma, after texting my mother the following yesterday M 3/10/25 -  "Hi Ma! Great to talk with you last night! (Why were you eating such a late supper?) Happy daylight savings' time ... spring forward (& lose an hour of sleep) ... I wonder re your going to Chamber Music downtown with 11 Longwood friends and "I don't share your reality' comment whether Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency - https://minepi.com/sgkmac (free money daily - & for many of all 7.9 billion people on the planet in all 200 countries - and to end poverty) - could help grow an abolition movement further in Pittsburgh even ... and among international classical musicians and their audiences too somehow ... and 'interoperating' with US federal law, states' law, international law, and uniformed services law as well with time in new ways ... Thoughts in communicating about this new possibly 'reality' ? WUaS News and Q&A is in about 45 minutes - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2025/03/kaweah-brodiaea-brodiaea-insignis.html ... Love, abolition-ally, good to talk, Scott (Could George Church and Doug Billman, having gone to prep school together, both somehow help with an introduction to D.... L... MD, I wonder?:)" my mother VERY UNUSUALLY Called me high up on Western Mines Road asking for my social security # ... Why ? I wonder ... asking about connecting with D.... L...

And even regarding the once-in-a-blue-moon opportunity to further create MIT OCW- centric wiki World Univ & Sch in 200 countries & 7164 living languages ? Thoughts, questions, ideas, suggestions? Why all did you call Ma? Thank you! Fond regards, abolition, warmly, Scott 



W Mar 12

Hi Ma, Ed, Pin, How are you doing this (rainy?) Wednesday 3/12/25 ... It's pouring in Middletown, and was in Upper Lake at far side of Clear Lake when I left the little Upper Lake public library (which has some closed-in and with nice wood character, although no restroom) 45 minutes ago ... Appreciating much this INCREDIBLE Toyota Sienna Woodland, and just  before going into the library I played for the first time both the lightweight piano keyboard resting  on my knees, while sitting cross-legged in the back (both Run Rudolph Run  and Bach's 4th Invention -  both with MuseScore sheet music, and it playing out loud on my MacBook Air laptop computer), as well as the pretty Piobaireachd "His Father's Lament for Donald Mackenzie" with sheet music on laptop from viper piper ... Great to begin to turn my Woodland van into a 'play space' and for writing and studying too ... gradually and organically somehow too ... Much more ahead in these regards ... After I had soaked for the 3rd time yesterday at Harbin, with my 24 hours up at 8pm PT, an interesting (connecting and networking ?) thing happened: I had bought a lock at WM for the new pretty wooden lockers in the new 2 story dressing room (finished ahead of schedule) .... having seen both long time Harbinites Jon Strieter and Leland using locks ... and since this is a new opportunity to use locks to keep things from being stolen (eg $600 key) in the warm dressing rooms ... (people have usually for decades just left their clothes outside on benches in the pool area, or in mostly open cubby holes in the old dressing room ... and theft I think has been an issue ... karmically too somehow) ... I had gotten a first blue lock last week at WM, but it said on the back CA-law wise that it possibly could cause cancer and reproduction issues (due to the lock's plastic possibly?) and so I wanted also a smaller lock, and returned the first one yesterday (getting a WM gift card since I had paid in cash, and having to give my PA driver's license for this ... which is good since WUaS seeks to collaborate with WM in all 181 countries it isn't in for software and infrastructure ... and also in the USA ), and got a new lock yesterday ... So I brought it to Harbin, set the 3 digit security code on the 3 rollers anew on it, and brought it to the new upper dressing room with lockers, took my clothes off to soak, and locked it HOPING I COULD SEE THE DIALs when I got back from soaking ... Well my eyes were pretty perfect to about age 59 but now at 64, I couldn't see the dials to open the lock ...  My things were locked up ... and I couldn't open it. What to do? I had to leave in about an hour and my clothes with car key fob, AND reading glasses were all locked up ... So I decided to see if I could borrow some reading glasses from people going into or out of the pools ... I asked Dancing Yogi Heather (Christensen, a new friend, based in Middletown with Yoga studio, whom I had met through Jon Strieter) who was passing by, and she didn't have any glasses, came upstairs, gave her my 3 digit combination, and tried to look at the dials, but she at 63 couldn't see the small numbers either ... CONNECTION... So I went downstairs and not seeing anyone with reading glasses or younger eyes either initially ... I eventually went over to Jay (Gunther) whom I had known from around 2004 ... and who is still doing massage and newly acupuncture on Tuesdays at Harbin (living in Berkeley near Ashby BART ... and a bit with bad breath) .. whom I had seen in the warm pool for the first time ... who was wearing glasses, but prescription ... and he came up and I gave him the combination ... and he set it correctly ... and the lock wouldn't open ... Another guy in the dressing room as I came in and then as I was trying to leave came in ... and he looked at the numbers and the lock still wouldn't work ... connection and a half ...  ... and what was up? ... So I called the Kiosk (formerly I think the Gatehouse) with the security phone near the new elevator (ADA compliant probably) in the pool area ... said I had got this new lock, and that the new combination didn't appear to work ... More people came into the dressing room as I was waiting, some a bit sketchy even ... could they send a security or maintenance person even with loppers for a fairly small lock .. A nice security person came with loppers ... but tried the combination a number of times first which still didn't work ... and thinking on his feet, also tried it backward ... and THE LOCK OPENED ... CONNECTION with Harbin security (which seems less sketchy than pre Fire on 9/12/16) ... and he also said he was glad he didn't have to cut it (since that could open a can of worms re other locked lockers and scams, tricks, and possibly theft somehow too I postulate for one ) ... Glad I was able to get my things, and walk back along the pretty Village Path along the side of a hill ... woodland all around ... and above the lower half of Harbin going through much construction ... and depart just before 8 PM ... Good MIT/Harvard "How to Grow (Almost) Anything" synthetic biology class yesterday Tu 3/11/25 ... Am seeking to suggest 3 new possibly 'grand challenges' and re a #RealisticVirtualEarth in some of the class's regards ... Appreciating George Alexander MD's standing in front of The Desiderata - https://www.desiderata.com/desiderata.html - in around 2007 at the Quaker place Kendal-Crosslands near Philadelphia for us Ma ... and regarding worries (Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness) too ... Is way opening for developing further a #RealisticVirtualHarbin #ForHistory #RealisticVirtualEarth #ForHistory too? Stay tuned! Thoughts, questions, ideas? How to connect with D...., I wonder? And when Might I move into a newly safe open Canyon 94516 I wonder too? Fondly, Scott (Into the Middletown public library - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/libraries)




March 12 

Ma, Pin, Ed ... Glad both the GEICO auto-insurance, and the Liberty Mutual w GEICO renter's insurance (but am not sure what the address for this is) were paid recently ... as I wait to learn further about the Homeowner's insurance quote I got for 670 Ridgecrest Rd, Canyon 94516 in Dec 2023 ... and even re how the title or deed might be newly written ... and with US federal law working with state of CA law in new ways effectively  ... Me wonders if there are some issues too with the US federal postal service and the Canyon 94516 post office as well as related East Bay US post offices to work out further still ... and in making Canyon CA 94516 newly safe ... Thoughts? And where to car-camp tonight I wonder ? ... Found a great new park in Middletown yesterday ... Walked there exploring W March 11, 2025 before the HTGAA course ...
Rabbit Hill Preserve is located at 21281 Steward St., in  Middletown,  CA
It's a hill and has stellar views nearly 360 degrees around ... And how might it be possibly to begin World Univ & Sch in Middletown somehow ... possibly with a Physical-Digital WUaS Educational Services' store for outreach even ? Fond regards, Scott 




Th Mar 13

Hi Duckies (Ma, Pin, Ed) ... How are you? Headed into the warm pool this morning around 7:30 am Pt to meditate in full lotus in its warm water ,.. Does meditation or this have effects, and if so what, how, when, why, who, if etc ... ? The nicest rest room of 2 in one building, near the Village Path to the pool area, was locked last night with the light off too (suggesting no one was in there ... but who knows) after I came back from soaking  ... and why ? It's the one with the Prevent Human trafficking (as slavery) with 800 numbers  too sign in it ... Who knows? But smelled cannabis as I first arrived in the parking area near the meadow area ... from a large white van with Oregon plates ... and just after the woman at the Kiosk / Gatehouse when I checked in said to the woman checking in in front of me no cannabis, and security came down and gave her 2 keys to Grove cottage #2 ... (Could she even have been a police woman ... and to catch Harbin staff who are breaking the law possibly?) ... this morning, after soaking, I went into the dressing room, and unlocked a wooden locker with my new small lock that rides in my electronic shield bag in pocket which has become a reading glasses case too (putting the reading glasses and case in my shoe outside of the wooden locker)... and got partially dressed, shaved, and a woman who was cleaning the 1st floor dressing room, got some buzzes on her smartphone among her cleaning supplies, and went into the nicest new restroom to reply not by talking but probably typing ... And later I asked her if Rosemary Cordova was still around ... Rosemary was a nice and great manager back in 2004, who gave me a ride a couple of times from Harbin to MacArthur BART in Oakland then ... and the woman in the dressing room, said she thinks so, but many people have nicknames at Harbin ... and I said I think her husband was a Lake county sheriff ... and the cleaning person, who had been at Harbin for about 3 years, 'copped to' I had the sense ... I wonder how Harbin THESE DAYS polices its own law-breaking employees and their affiliates ... and what role video surveillance could play ... and who could watch the surveillance cameras ... and with my having sought US federal protection for example for you Ma and Sandy and myself ... and Harbin being a countercultural place, I posit, in my first book ... and after I happened upon the locked 2nd restroom with the no slavery sign (of kids too) in the one building closest to the Village Path ... I decided to move my vehicle farther away from the meadow area that I had parked initially, down the road 1/4 mile ... and re possible 'framing' planning by possibly criminal Harbin employees and affiliates for example ... And think I made a good decision as I think about it now ... There's also a Ricky Cordova in HTGAA as a registered Harvard student and TA ... and researcher ... making me wonder about in Cambridge MA MIT's networking even with Harbin circles near Middletown CA ... Thoughts, ideas, questions? Fond regards, abolitionally,  Harbin ethnographically, heading back into Harbin ... 24 hours ends at 8pm PT again this evening, warmly, Scott (https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Harbin%20Hot%20Springs)



Posed the question 'how could humans live to 130 years (so longer than 122 years of age per Jeanne Calment d.1997, I think, at 122 yo) with extreme longevity and aging reversal genetic drug therapies' to 'David (Sun Kong), Chris (Mason), George (Church), Peter (Norvig), and All, ' https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2025/03/mammoth-hot-springs-yellowstone-np-wy.html .. and also asked in email further how to grow a Realistic Virtual Earth for genetics and extreme longevity here  - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2025/03/mammoth-hot-springs-yellowstone-np-wy.html - and think Chris Mason gave me another helpful response in a Tweet I retweeted to @WorldUnivAndSch - https://x.com/mason_lab/status/1900164225294622720 ... thank you Chris!

Hi Ma, Ed, Pin, what are you up to this weekend? How are you? Am farther north in Northern California near Garberville on Hwy 1, than the 2 state parks around Ukiah a few days ago, and will check out Richardson Grove state park for a shower in the morning ...  after holding WUaS Monthly Business Meeting at 9 here with Internet access ... Glad to be out of my PA licensed car in Lake County  and appreciating this INCREDIBLE Sienna van that I can stretch out in fully ... Car-camping - and it's precipitating, & has been snowing too - and awaiting developments re moving forward into a newly safe open Canyon CA 94516 ... for a song? & with homeowner's insurance potentially  ... Sent out the WUaS Monthly Business Meeting Agenda from the Garberville public library with internet access again after its lack on hwy 1 ... Appreciating alternative folks here (pop 1000) ... May drive back to Clear Lake State Park inland exploring ... Harbin on Monday possibly ... Thoughts? Fond regards, Scott (http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2025/03/trinity-alps-wilderness-area-ca.html)





March 16 2025 Sunday


Good morning, Ma and Pin and Ed, How are you this Sunday? After WUaS Monthly Business Meeting yesterday morning near Garberville CA, ~200 miles north of SF - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2025/03/snow-mountain-wilderness-ca.html - headed inland ~20 miles south of there on Hwy 162, thinking I'd drive inland back to the Clear Lake ... Was also scouting possible linguistic field sites and similar for WUaS students with Native American languages ... Came to the Round Valley Indian Tribes' Reservation with the its town of Covelo ... and started asking at stores about Native American languages spoken in the area: one attendant in the gas station ($4.69 gallon) said maybe Pomo, and Nomlaki and Wailaki languages might be spoken in the area, AND another woman at the register at Keith's IGA grocery store said she had been in Covelo since 1984, 41 years, and she had never heard any Native American languages spoken in the grocery store I think ... The woman at the register across from her looked very Native American, and disappeared as I was beginning to stand in line (and I had asked about Native American languages prior to this in the gas station, who also told me how to get to the Covelo public library giving good directions) ... In the Covelo public library I found a great display (see photo) - - of Native Americans in the area (also from an AI overview just learned of Dr. Kayla Begay
Associate Professor & Chair 
https://nasp.humboldt.edu/people/dr-kayla-begay
who went to Stanford as an undergrad and UC Berkeley for her PhD and is developing a grammar of Wailaki ... ) Thinking I'd head into the Snow Mountain Wilderness area from the north, and then come out on a road I had found 2 weeks ago near Elk Mountain and Clearlake, I headed east farther (with the only internet access for updating GMaps from the library) on Hwy 162 with Google Maps giving me not much info ... After some miles it became a dirt road, and after a few more miles I started driving in my great 2025 Toyota Sienna Woodland van through SNOW on the road ... so decided to turn back west, drive out to Hwy 1 and then south to Upper Lake and R Pomo Pumps ($3.80 gallon, up from 3.74 /gallon and lowest cost gas I've seen) ... Got back to the Clear Lake area, got gas, - getting about 33.5 mpg now in van on total 1455 miles  (which is pretty good for this Incredible minivan 34/city 36 hwy I think it said was possible, and it's big and heavy ... and can tow 3500 lbs:) ... Got a shower at Clear Lake State Park a little after 9pm walking in and out a mile, and car-camped overlooking Clear Lake a mile or 2 away ...



Given that I got this 2025 Toyota Sienna Woodland minivan on 3/4/25 - and re your precipitation word, Ed, especially -  I have some optimism that 'way will open,' and I'll be able to move into a newly safe open Canyon 94516 ... when I wonder ? at the end of this week or sooner? Am sitting now outside the 
'Unitarian Universalist Community of Lake County' (Church) - https://www.uuclc.org/ 
in Kelseyville, CA, of all places, which shares its building with the Kelseyville United Methodist Church interestingly ... Appreciating the vision of Unitarian Universalists, unprogrammed Friends / Quakers, and Yoga + (& Harbin Heart Consciousness Church too) ...Fascinating NIH scientific paper and abstract on Consciousness and Yoga especially - https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8675243/

Hi Ma, Ed (AI reader too?), Pin! How are you all? How is your Monday going? Headed to a good very remote car-camping spot yesterday evening, high up on Big Canyon Rd, the far end from Harbin Hot Springs' Y intersection with Big Canyon Rd ... driving in via Seigler Canyon rd via Hwy 29 from Middletown to Lower Lake then left 2 miles to this turn off, then 4 miles in to Big Canyon Rd ... It was stormy, rainy and cloudy just before dark, and I wanted good internet access re the sweeping natural vistas and mountain ranges to the east I think from this spot to write two blog posts, one for today's M 3/17/25 WUaS News and Q&A - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2025/03/mammoth-site-hot-springs-south-dakota.html & https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2025/03/mammoth-site-hot-springs-south-dakota-m.html, and the other for Sunday, yesterday 3/16/25 - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2025/03/pinus-balfouriana-foxtail-pine.html (with this text messaging here from Sunday too!) ... and then to car-camp 1/10 of a mile lower on the windy road but without such good internet access as higher up ... Was still a little concerned about the psychopath mr schmidt, but this was far from where his trickery I posit took place on Big Canyon Rd more than a week ago ... Well, I woke up around 5:45 am, and decided soon after, unusually so early, to head to Clear Lake State Park for an early shower before dark even ... AND when I started to drive out on Big Canyon Rd to Seigler Canyon Rd (western cowboy country visually in some ways), there was a tree trunk across the road out, blocking exit ... Just a few days ago I was coming in on Big Canyon Rd, and noticed a tree trunk 1/3 mile away resting completely on a strong telephone / electrical wire near a telephone pole, a bit dramatically ... waiting for someone knowledgeable from the state or the county I posit to deal with this ... So at around 7:15 am I turned around on Big Canyon Rd due to the tree blockage ... and started driving the long way out toward Harbin Springs' Rd about 11-12 miles, and then took Hwy 175 over Cobb mountain to Clear Lake  SP ... I got there around 8am and walked one mile toward the showers (appreciating the great woman in the SP  booth who said it was totally fine to take a shower ... but wondering about all the other state park actors I might meet and their actions ... eg if there was possible occasional prostitution in these showers ... with me upsetting the status quo ... since I'm coming in to take a shower only occasionally ... and indeed ... the attendant cleaning the bathrooms and showers was very red faced ... and there was a tree pruning truck with its red rear stop lights blinking at me in each direction as I walked in and out ...but who knows?) ... BUT just as I was walking across the parking lot to the showers' area, I noticed a car with the word  ENVOY  on it ... and it made me think even of T.. L........., Special Envoy to Yemen in the US state department and could even the US federal government be talking to the the Director of this state of CA State Park somehow ???   ... and then got a shower and shave after none of this yesterday  ... and walked a mile out ... and drove back along Hwy 29 to the Harbin Rd / Big Canyon Rd Y intersection 2 miles from Harbin to stream the WUaS News and Q&A ... with the Harbin Rd and Harbin Springs' Retreat Center signs in the beginning and at the end of this video ...-https://youtu.be/GU31LtiuAJo ... LATER, I got a "Next Door" to Canyon 94516 social media email post with the header "Around 12:30pm today I saw a USPS person delivering mail/parcels..." (although sent at 11:19 am PT ... so could this have even somehow come from Washington DC, or ???) ... AND I wonder if such an approach in Canyon 94516, of the USPS delivering mail door-to-door could clean up 'organized crime' possibly out of the Canyon 94516 US post office, and in the East Bay as well ..  I think some parts of the the US federal government has a better take on how to clean up the US federal  Canyon 94516 US post  office and the East Bay USPS too than I ... but it made me think progress might be being made with regard to my moving WUaS forward into a newly safe open Canyon 94516 (and even getting my state of CA license plates etc from this Toyota Sienna with temporary CA license plates) ... Thoughts? I drove into Santa Rosa to do some shopping, and keyed in Redwood Forest Quaker Meeting for the drive, but just as I was getting into Santa Rosa, I decided to explore the Unitarian Universalist Congregations' building / Church in Santa Rosa ... was interesting (had recently further connected with former UU ministers' David Herndon, Pgh, PA, and Cuttyhunker Betsy Tabor in NH, and Cuttyhunker too Tim House in the greater Boston area on LinkedIN + ... AND in searching on David Herndon, I found his picture on the Washington DC All Souls' UU church website ... a Church that Cuttyhunk friend from the 1960s, David Thurston, said he was attending now, when we met and talked  in DC. the day before Thanksgiving in 2024 ... and am not sure what this means ... but I think David Herndon is a good man, a retired UU minister, who now is a massage therapist in Pgh ... in possibly a fractious 1st UU Church of Pittsburgh, where my mother is still a member ) ... Explored further WUaS developing extreme longevity beyond 122 and aging reversal genetic drugs today in the WUaS News and Q&A ... Heading into Harbin Hot Springs for 24 hours soon ... maybe in just a few minutes after 5pm PT ... for some daylight there ... The MIT Harvard How To Grow Almost Anything synthetic biology class meets for 3 hours in the morning beginning at 11 am PT ... Can WUaS grow a Realistic Virtual Earth for Genetics to develop such genetic drug therapies beyond 122 years of age  in collaboration with HTGAA's George Church and David Sun Kong ? Stay tuned ... Thoughts, questions, suggestions? Fond regards, abolition-ally, warmly, Scott (What's up with PG&E Pacific Gas & Electric and a strained history with Canyon 94516 I wonder ... and re esp 670A Ridgecrest Rd, Canyon 94156 ...And if I can move into Canyon 94516, will way open to connect with D.... L... MD potentially, if only as friends? )

Good day, Ma, Pin, Ed, ... How are you doing this Wednesday where you are, and what are you up to? Greetings from newly Redbud library in Clearlake CA (with a Lego Robotics' club ...) ... Am wondering how  Peter Norvig & #GrowWithGoogleWUaS are thinking about and looking at and coming into conversation with WUaS moving into a newly safe open Canyon 94516 soon-ish ... and regarding Vanguard Mutual Funds and my having next to no retirement savings, and in growing a WUaS abolition movement worldwide ... and with possible US federal investigations ongoing into JP Morgan Chase bank in Moraga 94556 and Wilkinsburg Pgh PA 15221 possibly developing AND also in 100 out of 200 countries re international organized crime tragically ... Have also received a bounce back, Pin, from your HHS email address a number of times ... mentioning 'fatal errors' or similar ... so am wondering too how a US federal investigation may be developing into the US federal postal service in some of these regards, and re the Canyon 94516 US Post Office and SF East Bay US Postal Service ... and even organized crime therein ...  as I continue to whistle-blow ... and van-camp too mostly in Lake county CA ...  Just Tweeted about developing virtual libraries out of public libraries and re the "off the Shelf" Twitter post from Google AI too ... GoogleMaps @sundarpichai -libraries in all 50 US states or 200 countries & their languages?

Dear #GoogleMaps @sundarpichai, how to access a library's contents virtually through #GMaps & #GStreetView w #TimeSlider esp -eg Redbud Library 14785 Burns Valley Rd, Clearlake, CA 95422 -https://maps.app.goo.gl/22i584dwbQwpTbUXA?g_st=ac eg in libraries in all 50 US states or 200 countries & their langs?

Pin, Ed, Ma, wondering too if the US federal government's Luca Moretti field representative in Lake County and in parts of Contra Costa county where Canyon 94516 is for US Rep Mike Thompson is or could be in communication with for example the Clear Lake State Park director as a US federal government representative and re the ENVOY vehicle the other morning in the parking area near the shower ... and what role he and the US federal government could be playing in developments in Canyon 94516 even ... Different set of actors in morning shower walk in to CLSP showers today ... and as I walked out, a female CLSP Ranger (probably colleagues with the great woman in the CLSP booth saying it's totally fine to take showers, parking outside the CLSP and walking in) was in the main gate office ... As a sociocultural anthropologist (of Harbin Hot Springs especially too), it's interesting to observe all these cultural processes with potential actors taking form in new ways again and again (how is this all communicated culturally ?... re identity questions even ? eg possible low-level organized crime prostitution actors with park employees in this state park CLSP employees managing this, fisherman & tree cutters and similar, US federal government, in the context of Lake county activities? ... all as 'identities' ... and as I observe socioculturally related processes and possible actors at Harbin Hot Springs, my physical-digital ethnographic STEM field site ... ) ... Found some new places to van-camp this morning on local roads, after another interrupted night with some folks pulling by my car this time around 1:45 am, last time 3 weeks ago at 2:15 on Clark Rd near Soda Bay Rd near in front of Clear Lake State Park (which I haven't yet written to you about) ... Also Twitter -inquired yesterday further about how WUaS might begin to develop genetic drug therapies for extreme longevity of Profs David Sun Kong and George Church (which email you got too I think) - "
Brainstorming @DavidSunKong @GeoChurch #HTGAA & regarding #WUaSpharma + developing w #SyntheticBiology a pharmaceutical as #GeneDrugTherapy to help people live beyond 122 years old w #MuscleWastingReversal AND #HigherFasterStronger athletics' gene components, how best to do this?

Hi Ma, Ed, Pin! How are you? Doing laundry again in the Middletown CA laundromat (having gone through ~7 days of underclothes again for the 3rd or 4th time) ... After getting 2 emails from Toyota Palo Alto to asking for feed back about my recent PURCHASE, the last one yesterday which I replied to, thanking Dich Tran for helping me get the Woodland, but wondering about their purchase word (could you Ma have found a way to get criminal??? PNC bank in Pgh re US federally mandated payouts to cover the cost of the Sienna minivan, I wondered?) ... BUT THEN today I received an email from Toyota Financial Services in Texas re the LEASING word which I thought I had done ... (and could even Stanford Law / similar have updated the website from what Sadaf at Toyota Palo Alto said?? and is it all coded for security in mind too ... and in WUaS growing a worldwide abolition movement as well?) ... so it seems as if I'll be able to do automatic check payment from a WF bank account on the 4th of the month for this (will do tomorrow) ... AND THEN D.... L... MD just posted on her Twitter feed - - newly since 1/2/25 about a very high incidence of colorectal cancer (in the SF Bay area I think) ... AND I haven't been able to get a Kaiser Permanente FitKit test for this in the mail at WUaS POBox 442 Canyon CA 94516 for a couple of years (due to the USPS not forwarding my mail - illegally federally I think) ... possibly putting me at risk ... AND could D....'s posting somehow even involve communication with you Ed re Kaiser Permanente AND Byron and Cindy Hann MDs in Moraga ... and be an indication that D.... could be interested in moving into a newly safe open Canyon 94516 as well??? ... Well to fill out the Toyota leasing IT form fields next tomorrow ... and potentially van-camp out tonight 2 miles from Harbin Hot Springs ... in INCREDIBLE van ... and then head into Harbin tomorrow sometime (at $55 / 24 hours again mid-week) ...

Curiouser, and Curiouser (than before in soaking in meditation in the Harbin warm pool this morning), Ma, Pin, Ed ... Went into Middletown to write my "Society, Info Tech Revolution, and the Global University" book further, at the Middletown public library, first getting a $1 coffee and newly a hard boiled egg ($1.25) at Perry's Deli nearby ... and went back toward the library, and who was coming out of it? Friend Barbara Christwitz, from Clearlake 20 miles away ... She said she was going to a US Rep Mike Thompson event (another one) and that Rep Mike Thompson was going to be there at the Twin Pines Resort (formerly Rancheria / (an Indian Reservation too, I think) and so I said I'd follow her ... AND as we walked in, Luca Moretti was there, whom I had met at a US Rep Mike Thompson event in the Middletown Library a few weeks ago, serendipitously ... and then Rep Mike Thompson was near the entrance in the Twin Pines' Casino event room ... so I went up and shook his hand saying I'm Scott MacLeod, mentioning MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch, and WUaS's interest in Native American languages in Lake County (and Luca Moretti was there too) ... and then a Town Hall / Q&A commenced for an hour ... interesting and great slice of Lake county questions, people and information about the US democratic process especially ... At 12 noon, as I was about to leave, with Barbara having left early, there was an opportunity to ask a question on a card, which I did about free World Univ & Sch AND the last question asked by a Middletown high school student about FAFSA grants and aid for college drying up ... Wow ... took a picture of the card, and the sign in sheet, with Middletown Mike Thompson event on it (having taken a picture early on of Thompson on the in front of the dais) ... will share this with you  ... and left ...  first to see if Haskola was in the booth at Uncle Buddy's Pumps ... AND as I was heading to my great Toyota Sienna Minivan ... up walked Rosemary Cordova talking on her phone, from 2004, maybe a Harbin Managing Director at some points since then, and wife of a sheriff too I think ... and who had given me some rides into MacArthur BART station in Oakland from Harbin in 2004 ... we hugged briefly, as she kept talking on her phone, said hi ... and WHAT an INCREDIBLE serendipitous and synchronistic meeting of Barbara, Rosemary, and US Mike Thompson ... Hmmm ... Heading back into Harbin Hot Springs until 3:30 pm PT (about 3 hours from now) ... May drive into Canyon 94516 tomorrow to do a backup, get a water bottle, and leave the piano keyboard in storage too (since I've used it in the minivan only about twice, but keep the Scottish small pipes) ...  Could this meeting open ways to moving into a newly safe open Canyon 94516 further - and soon? And could it also lead to US FEDERAL and Lake county government department of Education, too, money for MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch as well?  Thoughts?

As I drove in to Lafayette about 8 miles away, I saw a cool pink hippy truck that had much character ... (a doing of Byron ???) ... Put the piano keyboard in storage, am now backing up my laptop hard drive to an external hard drive in the library after about another 3 weeks (and will seek to return this hard drive to storage pretty soon after the back up is done ...

Hi Ma, Pin, & Ed, How are you doing this Saturday? Greetings from the way into East Bay MUD parks about 3 miles from Canyon ... Just drove by Byron Hann's house again, after emailing him and you, and his garage door was closed ... Some years ago on my birthday, about when I moved into Canyon 94516 in 2009 or 2010 probably, we went for a walk from the Hann's house ... with the police chief, I recall, for Moraga / Rheem + - (was Jim Cargill his name) ... than some years after this, I asked Byron and Cindy about this, and they somehow played this down ... Am curious, since Byron's smart and knows on-the-ground people issues in Moraga and Canyon too, I think, what role he's play in thinking through possibly navigating heinous Canyon 94516 criminality even ... and regarding many parties (local police, retired District 7 CA senator Steve Glazer, state of CA Assemblymember Bauer-Kahan with offices in San Ramon, where Cindy Hann MD has practiced medicine as a pediatrician for decades and similar) ...  Thoughts? And brainstorming-wise, could also PG&E conceivably be wiring Canyon 94516 and giving everyone and dwelling a meter who don't have one ? Thoughts? Scott (Interesting stem cell gene therapy surgery from a Harvard Med Sch Eye professor, and could she have known family friend since I was a baby ophthamalogist Richard M Robb MD, who passed away in 2023 ? ... :"Harvard Medical School - stem cell treatment for blinding cornea injuries, developed by scientists at HMS and @MassEyeAndEar

Sun Mar 23

Good morning, Duckies, Ma, Ed, Pin ... How are you? Greetings on a Sunday morning from Moraga. Woke up in the green wood of East Bay MUD parks about 3.5 miles this time from the Canyon 94516 US Post Office on Pinehurst at a pull out in my incredible 2025 Toyota Sienna Woodland van (with piano keyboard next to me, having put it in storage yesterday). Yoga meditated in half lotus on my sleeping pads, and into Yoga mudrasana ... salutary! ... And drove into the town of Moraga with its shopping area, which might well have been for large numbers of livestock in the late 1800s early 1900s even ... and came upon a Farmer's Market near Canyon Rd and Moraga Road (a familiar intersection, not far from Byron & Cindy's house on Larch) ... Checking out the Farmer's Market around 7;45 am, there is the Tsieng Farm from Fresno, and they are speaking Chinese, and with very abundant amounts of nice green and multicolorerd vegetables, then another Chinese farmer's market ... then Mexican I think, then El Salvadoran stand with meals ... quite international, and an old familiar pattern of an open market, Went over to the Safeway (which business model, ethics and pricing I don't appreciate or gibe with ... but glad they're around nevertheless) ... to get 6 hard boiled eggs (for $4.99) ... and they were open, at 5am I learned, everyday ... wow (gotta keep the perishables moving) ... COULD Byron even be hired by the US federal government somehow to help with a developing newly safe open Canyon 94516, I wondered early this morning (and regarding your last call to me, Ed ... when I was passing by Larch street on the Canyon road, possibly 4-8 weeks ago) ? Who knows? And what's up with PG&E in Canyon and 670A Ridgecrest Road, and what's up with a possible deed / title for the property and even re MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School too ... I think I'll head into Berkeley now and walk up Telegraph ave ... Would be fascinating to visit it in a #RealisticVirtualEarthForHistory in digital glasses (while walking even, if safe) AND with Gemini AI conversational generative artificial intelligence ... Can I begin to build this now with the new - https://aistudio.google.com/ - and adding Youtube videos of Berkeley and Telegraph Avenue and People's park for example from the 1960s even (and a #RealisticVirtualHarbin although there aren't any or many Youtube videos at all due to Harbin's no photography on property)? Thoughts? May explore ... May head to sit in Friendly Quaker Silent Meeting outside the Berkeley Friends' Meeting House as well on Vine at Cedar and Oxford Sts as I and WUaS continue to grow an abolition movement worldwide and among quakers too ... What are you all up to today? Ed would you like to go for a walk up behind Indian Valley across from 670 Ridgecrest Road Canyon 94516 meeting in the Valle Vista Staging Area today (https://www.google.com/maps/place/EBMUD+Valle+Vista+Staging+Area/@37.8223679,-122.1380162,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x808f88f765ad22c3:0xc7c904a2e18c936c!8m2!3d37.8223679!4d-122.1380162!16s%2Fg%2F1tg7s7qr?hl=en&entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDMxOS4yIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D)? 🙂 Warm regards, abolitionally, fondly, Scott 




M Mar 24

Good Monday afternoon, Ma, Ed, Pin ... How are you? How is your week taking shape? 3/24/25 WUaS News and Q&A with video recording done  - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2025/03/mount-shasta-wilderness.html - just heard from possibly a Alexander Hedland in Edinburgh Scotland affiliated with Heriot Watts' university there, with an interest in developing the WUaS learning platform ... and I emailed him and you Ed that startup WUaS is beginning the accreditation process further ... AND I wonder if WUaS could somehow collaborate with Heriot Watts' university here further ... Thoughts, Ed, Pin? ... or even with the University of California 10 campuses as well, Ed (since you and I are alumni of the UC system for example)? Further thoughts? Scott (Heading into Harbin soon for soaking meditation ... am wondering too about a fold up bicycle for tall people - a Tern Verge P10 ? ...  AND a clip on electric motor (eg https://clip.bike/) ... eventually with a 1000 mile range for bicycle touring with 4 large filled panniers ... )

Good morning, Ma, Pin, Ed, Thanks for your encouragement to move into a newly safe Canyon 94516 beginning in March of 2022, Ed - and for coming to visit me there Pin (and Ma)! Appreciating Yoga meditation & asana and philosophy too re intertwining with ethics - http://www.scottmacleod.com/yoganotations.html - and Desiderata as Yoga ideas too - https://x.com/Q_YogaMacFlower/status/1815700381474689273 - but am thinking about and wondering how the cultural processes (anthropologically) work re justice and social justice (Quaker-wise) ... re US and California Democracy too, indirectly and distributively (re internet, ecologically somehow, and  social communication-wise too) in making Canyon 94516 newly safe and open ... Heading in at around 7:45 am PT to the Harbin warm pool soon to Yoga meditate in full Lotus pose ... a very different experience of releasing and opening and attuning and connecting than on land ... (May not be able to send this text message until later due to limited wifi connectivity here) ... Continuing to grow a WUaS abolition movement worldwide and here at Harbin as well in some of these regards. Seeking in an ongoing way, I think, a good MD as a life partner and potential wife, and if not D...., who? (I put a Harbin 'envision' BIRTHDAY CARD in the mail to you Ma on Sat ... Fondly, Scott

Hi Ma, Sid, Ed, ... How are things going for you today ... Just called AAA in Pgh I think and talked with Monica there re ... "AAA Insurance:  Hello, my name is Monica and I am reaching out because your annual AAA membership recently expired. Please give me a call back to update your membership as discounts may be available for your renewal this year. I can be reached @ 877-507-6369 EXT 4525

Called Monica Tu 25 March 2025
AAA membership this year is $32.70 with membership
gave PNC routing number and bank account
and it went through
and she sent me a further verification text message, and it worked ... I'm enrolled as a member in AAA again" ... In giving my PNC bank account number, we didn't talk about address change for example ... so I am not sure where and if a new card will be sent, i.e. to 5816 Callowhill St Pgh ... or not? Will deal with this later and possibly seek to change my AAA address to your address Ma ... (and even regarding International Organized Crime out of Toyota in Pittsburgh, and regarding that tire deflation events when I was seeking to meet T.. L......... halfway between Pgh and DC probably about a year ago or so ... ) ... Thoughts? May seek to head back into Harbin Hot Springs in the last 2 hours of my 24 hour pass ... (since my back right tire appears to be fine once refilled at the Chevron station ... and possibly having created a new 'safety' network with that organization even ... and could one of the attendants having taken a picture of my PA driver's license and internet forwarded it to US federal protection folks even ... re positive identification too? ... as I continue to seek to grow free MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch) ... Spam call possibly came in just as I was talking with AAA's Monica and unusually left a message ... which I'll listen to soon to see if it's indeed spam ...

Hi Ma, Ed, Pin ... Hoping your days are going well ... How are you? Headed back into Harbin to soak, parked in some shade. near the Meadow area re about  the 2nd warm / hot day this year (~80F) and to keep food in car as cool as pool ... as I began to walk in to the pool area along the Village path, saw a black car with the back right door open .. and was it the man who came out of the nearby tent and with a pleasant DEMEANOR (not everywhere at Harbin) wished me good morning and I him ... ? ... Walked in soak in meditation in Yoga full Lotus asana again ... and as I waded toward the front bench in the warm pool to sit, there was a woman reading Yoga Sutras of Patanjali with a gray cover (possibly starting textually, or in stone carvings, or from about 2500 years ago ... possibly this one - "The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali: The Essential Yoga Texts for Spiritual Enlightenment" by Swami Vivekananda") ... interestingly ... (a text I riff with here - http://www.scottmacleod.com/yoganotations.html) and which. 8 limbs focused my soaking meditation in a new way ... re the Sanskrit words for the 8 limbs that came to mind ... Hmm ... Soaked further, showered, and donated a can of lentil soup that I opened wrongly per its design ... and which needed a can opener ... at the cafe trailer near Reception and for the Heart Consciousness Church staff kitchen's free box, nearby ... and got a cup of coffee and then departed Harbin a little after 2pm PT ... SO I THINK that with a nice demeanor  man could have possibly let the air out of my tire by design even  ... since the same other man who told me my back right tire was full got into his car next to mine as I was leaving .. The lessons of Harbin (kind of like or at leasts with parallels ''A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols'' re Cambridge University Xmas Boys' Choir singing even ... and re Heart Consciousness Church Harbin Hot Springs ... and networking for safety with big companies ??? Could that Chevron in Middletown CA work with AAA with Toyota with the US federal government when needed? ... and even re Stanford engagement with Harbin) May head to an ATM at WF in Clear Lake ... and then get some things at WM, including river rafting shoes /sandals, towel, cotton socks (less odiferous than nylon socks in my experience), shorts ... and then to do laundry yet again in Middletown ... Could head north to the Mt Shasta area today or tomorrow (rain forecasted) ... and seek out the places where the Pacific Crest Trail into Wilderness areas, and somewhat near where the PCT crosses highways ... Tires seem fine ... Black car with the back right door wasn't there when I returned to my minivan ... Thoughts, questions, suggestions? Any idea when I might move forward into a newly safe open Canyon 94516, Ed, and Pin (AI readers of these text messages too?)? Warmly, abolition, fond regards, Scott 




Wednesday

Good morning, Ed, Pin, Ma, How are you? I hope this text finds you doing very well. Woke up on very rutted half gravel Big Canyon road at a stellar outlook spot, about a mile from where the log had fallen across teh road in the storm, and 1 mile and 1/3 from where the other tree trunk is still strung over the very very strong telephone / electrical wire near a telephone pole ... Meditated first thing upon rising ... and turned on the Sienna and an adjust tire pressure light was on again .... although visually the tire didn't look as low as at 8 psi pressure yesterday at Harbin midday ... Hmm ... slow leak? ... Drove into Lower Lake and found air pump at gas station ... tire pressure was down to 28 psi ... and having searched online that the Clearlake Walmart has a tire focus, then drove another 2.5 miles there and it opens at 8am I think ... (Glad I got AAA coverage again yesterday!) Thoughts? May drive north to Mt Shasta area later ... and as I continue to focus further writing my upcoming "Society, Information Technology and the Global University" ... visiting all museums ever in a realistic virtual earth (thinking Google Street View with time slider) potentially with Gemini AI conceptually and for university research in all 200 countries' World University and Schools and in their languages ... Further thoughts in this 9th or 10 chapter ... which revolutionizing education museum ideas here I'm continuing also to seek to get my mind around ... Further thoughts? Fond regards, Scott (https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2025/03/himalayan-blue-poppy.html and https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/museums)



Wednesday

Hi Ma, Pin, Ed, ... Just arrived at Magnussen's Toyota Palo Alto after stopping at my storage unit in Moraga, and getting among other things, piping sheet music ... Dich Tran is here & working with other customers ... Slow leak due to a nail in the tire - (at Harbin I think) but maybe with also release too to 8 psi ... and then filling it to ~38 psi yesterday, and tire's 28 psi reading this morning, and Clearlake WM tire center stop which didn't cost ... Lead to no loss of air in the ~150 miles' trip into Toyota Palo Alto ... Will find out if I'll get a new well- designed Bridgestone tire here or what ... And then I may head back to Clear Lake State Park (up to 34.3 mpg, a record in this Toyota minivan and Great mileage, over 2672 miles ... Have been driving a lot ... When might I move into Canyon ?How to connect with D.... possibly ?) ... Thoughts, questions? Warm regards, Scott (Some pictures of us Ma : from 2009 on a trip in Pgh -https://photos.app.goo.gl/xb3hYJdtrqswqtC19 :)



Wednesday

Hi Ma, Ed, Pin ... How are you? I just checked car in for service at Magnussen's Toyota PA to get a new tire ($351 for one) ... with another Vietnamese service representative (Dich Tran and now 2 Vietnamese service representatives since about January here ... interesting ...) ... Not sure what extra coverage I got initially when I leased it ... am staying tuned ... and will see what happens ... May be 5 or 5:30 pm before new tire is on and done (and it's 2:10 pm PT now) ... but glad this tire puncture with nail is working out pretty well so far (ie didn't need to get a flatbed truck and didn't destroy the back tire rim, for example ..) Acts of vandalism ... and re what motive ... are interesting to learn from ... Tire puncture vandalism in my experience doesn't get repeated too often ... Might the US federal government even - if Harbin is under 'state' - both federal and state of CA - scrutiny, for example- lead to the possible vandal getting the 'fast slide to Middletown' (a term I may have learned from Sunheart Sunheart between 2005 & 2010, or ???)? ... Hopefully such vandals can somehow get help from Lake country social services  (or AAA for psychopath mr. schmidt of a few weeks ago) for example  ... Desiderata -https://www.desiderata.com/desiderata.html -  and Yoga ideas, are helpful with the frustrating aspects of this ... Thoughts, questions, ideas? Warm regards, Scott (Is there a Yoga teaching opportunity here in all of this ... ? C'est possible ... https://x.com/Q_YogaMacFlower/status/1815700381474689273 )



Wednesday

Hi Ma, Ed, Pin ... Hoping you're having good days ... How are you? Appreciating that I got this INCREDIBLE 2025 Toyota Sienna Woodland Edition minivan ... and that I've been able to live in it basically since 3/4/25 (and it's much much better than sleeping in the 2016 Toyota Prius c which was such a great car in so many ways except for sleeping in ) ... Ed, thanks much for your precipitation of my moving in to a newly safe open 670A Ridgecrest Rd Canyon 94516 ... Pin, thoughts about from the US federal government's perspective possibly about when I might be able to move in (eg since you in 2017 was it?, and T.. L......... in 2012) .. and David Thurston too (who might be working for the US federal government now too all came to visit me there) ... and as WUaS seeks to develop the WUaS Academic Medical Center for example there as well? Appreciating too that after I drove across the US departing Pgh on 12/10/24 in the 2016 Prius c, and then stopping by Byron and Cindy Hann MDs' place for a synchronistic visit on F 12/13/24 ... and talking about moving into a newly safe Canyon, 94516 ... that both said best of luck as we parted ways and am wondering how things stand with them ... re their knowledge of moving into a newly safe open Canyon 94516 now ... Thoughts?     - Scott (https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Canyon)




Thursday

Hi Ma, Ed, Pin, How are you this 

Thursday, March 27, 2025 -Hi Ma, Ed, Pin, How are you this Thursday ...? Seeking to parse what happened re nail in tire on its outer edge of tread at Harbin probably, 2 days ago, (and re IT distributed communications too) and then driving ~150 miles into Toyota Palo Alto further, I drove from Toyota Palo Alto north across the Golden Gate bridge yesterday late afternoon (the no toll direction out of SF) and in keying in Redwood Friends Quaker Meeting house in Santa Rosa ... AND re heading back into Harbin or to Clear Lake State Park today ... but decided to drive through Sausalito in Marin due partly to traffic on Hwy 1 north of the GG bridge, and to see it, then soon after out I decided to drive west to the Pacific ocean over incredibly beautiful Mt Tamalpais at dusk in mist and rain through the redwoods, and exhausted (not having slept that long or well the night before on Big Canyon Rd, but waking up a couple of times to incredible beauty looking east over undeveloped hills and with crescent moon, and then sunrise, - in new pajama bottoms as the nights get warmer with spring growing perhaps too) ... and then dealing with adjust tire pressure sign on dashboard (28 psi tire pressure deflation I later learned at a filling station 7 miles from where I camped on very rough roads) yesterday morning, going into Walmart, meeting all 4-5 + technicians I think, whom I felt were ethical (and getting my incredible 2025 Sienna Woodland van into the WM databases too, and buying a tire pressure gage first as well), and thus networking with another huge company WM, perhaps further too re tire puncture, and re WUaS as well (and with service cancelled and not paying anything) ... found a level spot to sleep, just before Hwy 1, just before Stinson Beach on the Pacific ... and pulled off the road to hippy van-camp just after dark and departed just before daybreak but with sleeping pretty well but with worries ... AND started driving north on SPECTACULAR road between Stinson Beach - and thanks to my calendar and having Yoga meditation first thing upon rising as usual, then unusually PLAYED MY BAGPIPES next to the LAGOON north of Stinson Beach (and doing so was somehow connecting differently from meditation - 2 tunes), past incredible Pt Reyes national seashore (finding a restroom there), through Pt Reyes Junction or similarly named town, getting coffee,  and then to the Valley Ford and Petaluma rd, about 30 miles of INCREDIBLE beauty going about 19 mph on cruise control much of the way, and listening to raga - do you know this stretch of road, Ed, well? (lots of places to bring a growing family too and in 2025 Toyota Sienna van in some years even)  ... Could brilliant (Celtic too) Stanford Law Professor Hank Greely (at Stanford since around 1973 as a student) be playing a role in these Harbin-Toyota Palo Alto, and Canyon 94516 too (with Phil Jelley communications whom I met at a Stanford alum weekend in 2017, and who is the Stanford lands' lawyer, and had a house built in the Oakland hills by Canyonite Ethan Allen ...and Peter Norvig and John Hennessy chair of the Board of Alphabet???) developments somehow even? ... Overlooking the pacific ocean now, just north of Bodega Bay, and rain falling ... I am thinking that heading back into Harbin today could make sense ... Was the tire nail puncture 150 miles' drive to Toyota Palo Alto a way too for Toyota Palo Alto to do a kind of ~2500 miles' check of this GREAT 2025 Toyota Sienna Woodland van ? ... Got an email too along the very beautiful Olema-Point Reyes' stretch of road, from Kaiser Permanente about "Health benefits of acupuncture | Virtual care options | Simple at-home workouts" (all also in the physical-digital WUaS Academic Medical Center out of the shop at Canyon in a #RealisticVirtualEarthForMedicine and #ForYoga too) - and you started your medical career Ed I think as an acupuncturist, before going to UCSF medical school (since you could also make a living as a MD, but not really as an acupuncturist as I recall) in the late 1990s (when I met your first wife first, quite a bit older than you, in a Yoga class I was teaching in the Haight Ashbury Episcopal Church ... and then met you) ... Hmm ... No shower for 2-3 days .., driving is a meditation in this INCREDIBLE VAN and along the California pacific ocean, piping along the road by a beautiful misty lagoon early in the morning (thanks too to Peter Norvig and Google Calendar and AI too, a Google Calendar schedule I created years ago?), could the Stanford Rock Center out of the Stanford Law School's "AI Governance and Advancing Enterprise" course I'm in ... help shape an active Board of Directors for WUaS in my curious present liminality re moving WUaS Academic Medical Center into a newly safe open 670A Ridgecrest Rd and shop in Canyon 94516? Stay tuned, and in returning from asylum on the eastern seaboard for 2/5 years (just got another Shred-it email in spam ... and could this have been what craven psychopath Swiss or Lebanese soldiers have said about the Evict and Extradite frederic khayat for war crimes' - and Black Lives' Matter - paper notice I posted on the front door of 210 East End avenue ... with his murderous run through attempt of me sadly some months later ) ... Seeking for US federal law and state of California law to work effectively in new ways and re abolishing international organized crime (e.g. in some of the above organizations, possibly historically ... ) and growing a WUaS worldwide abolition movement as well to protect people ... Thoughts, questions, suggestions? From Jenner on the Pacific ocean (where I was able to find an open wifi network on my smartphone, since T-Mobile is spotty), I have just keyed into GMaps Clear Lake State Park, but may head to Harbin instead today and after getting groceries in Santa Rosa. Fond regards, Yogically, abolition (in all ~200 countries and in their languages of law too), Harbin ethnographically, Warmly, Scott (https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/search/label/global%20university)




Saturday

Hi Ma, Pin, Ed! How are you? I git the incredible minivan up to 35 mpg total average over ~ 3176 miles driving into Berkeley's Lark In the Morning musical instrument store with vast array of instruments in it.  The USPO on Solano ave nearby (and not too far from you Ed too) wouldn't take cash ... Only credit or debit ... What to do to mail my mother's birthday present in a timely way? ... Well the one at University and San Pablo does but closes at 3 pm pt ... Good to connect with anglophile & piper Kevin Hughes at Lark in the Morning :) ... -Scott (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Music_School)



Saturday


Hi Ed, Ma, Pin, How are you? Did you have a fruitfully good Saturday? Wound my way after walking around the College avenue area of Berkeley not far from Gantt's house on Ashby avenue /Hwy 13 and going to the Claremont public library which closed with a Native American language - Chechonyi - sp? (an Ohlone language of the east bay) spoken for the first time ever (for me) over its announcement audio system ... To the Valle Vista Staging Area close to Canyon 94516 ... then into East Bay MUD parks on Pinehurst to car camp ... One policeman coming down Alcatraz avenue as I was driving up it adjusted his glasses at me I think (as a sign possibly of he's seeing things clearly) ... And I'm reminded of, Ed, Officer Matthew Lily who on Easter tracked me down in an open park for not having signed the log in to this park book ... And after you kindly gave me the All Trails App for birthday 12/31/19? (may have been a gay designated walking area too) ... and said something possibly about not walking there or my needing to sign in ... So I didn't go into the actual park again at Valle Vista Staging Area with its sign in book ... Am appreciative after being in asylum in PA & MA too for 2.5 years that law enforcement may be keeping their eyes on me for 5+ years OUT HERE re my safety somehow ... And even re my moving into a newly safe open Canyon 94516 ... eg until they may be completely sure it is safe (and this may take a long time with Canyon 94516 ... But could I move on there even by M March 31 2025 ... Or by April 6 when the next storage unit renewal payment is ? ... And at least by June 2 when my temporary CA license plates expire I ghink - abd re Toyota Palo Alto's involvement with CA law and law enforcement re my 670A Ridgecrest Rd Canyon 94516 address too) ... Thoughts, suggestions, ideas?, Fond regards, Scott  (There's what looks like a leaf glued to the right sliding door of the Sienna van ... Or even a leaf- shaped rust spot ... Hmm ... When I took it in for the new tire (due to the Harbin vandalism) 'Mun', my Vietnamese (possibly Japanese too by appearance) service representative took comprehensive pictures of my vehicle ... And I wonder what they would show regarding this small leaf- shaped rust spot ... I may bring this to the attention of Dich Tran and friends after I look at it further (a hippy van opportunity ? ... Or a way to bring the cost of lease down even ?)





Sunday Mar 29

Ma, Ed, Pin, (AI 'readers'?), ...with the Garklein Piccolo recorder and 1 further happy birthday email both sent to you Ma (and with note to family & friends) ... And car camping in East Bay MUD, ... my Quaker Yoga Mac Flower - @Q_YogaMacFlower - Twitter feed, the one I can view D.... L... MD's occasional Twitter posts from, was closed temporarily  'due to error' for the first time with this message yesterday evening (and has been closed a few times temporarily too  in recent weeks) ...leading me to wonder whether D.... might have been/ was viewing this my Twitter feed ... and a Twitter admin saw & temporarily closed this Q_YogaMacFlower Twitter feed which I then reopened ... (Am also wondering about getting back into Vanguard Group Mutual Funds eg for retirement savings &  especially when /if potentially Vanguard rolls back or similar its relatively recent fee-based brokerage accounts' system to the very low cost /low fees' approach they had for decades re Vanguard founder John Bogle's index investing thinking ... or? (and before Dad GKM MD had 1st head injury in Belize on 12/30/04) ... and re my partial ownership of the MacLeod Cuttyhunk house ... and also especially  if we live for centuries ahead with genetic drug therapies emerging ? ... and with US federal law working effectively together with states' law ... (and having sought US federal protection for you, Ma, Sandy and myself - and especially too re Lake county and Harbin Hot Springs' questions culturally and safety-wise too ... AND re these incredible Virtual Harbin building replies from Google AI studio in yesterday's blog post on 3/29/25 -   https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2025/03/5th-water-hotsprings-diamond-fork.html?m=1 Hmmm ... How might D.... open the way to our possible connecting and beginning a family? Or? Thoughts? Yogic-ally, fondly, abolitionally, warm regards,  Scott  (& see too The Desiderata here and these Yoga Notations as well -  http://www.scottmacleod.com/yoganotations.html )💕 ... And as WUaS begins to grow further as well ... 







Mon Mar 31

Good day, Ma, Ed, Pin ... How are you ? Greetings from Middletown, having car-camped in front of the Clear Lake State Park last night (about 23 miles away), with the wind molecules  of trucks' and cars' passing by buffeting, shaking and rocking my awesome minivan ... Turns out what looked like a piece or chip of leaf-sized rust coming through the Cement Gray color early on the right sliding door panel was indeed a leaf that the rains 2 nights in East Bay MUD washed away ... the was so 'glued' to the car ... unremovable by my finger nail that I wonder what tree species it is ... and what the surface of the car's paint is like molecularly too to create such a bond (and am relieved ... but could this minivan in 2 years become a first World Univ & Sch WUaS delivery of Lego Robotics' kits and books to homes' minivan ... with WUaS logo painted over, hippy-wise even, such possible developments in a car's exterior?:) ... Happy upcoming birthday Ma! ... What are the Baroque composers you and Jean and the cellist play much of in your recorder group with you and Jean playing matching Alto recorders? And how can we use information technology to search on which Baroque musical pieces might have lovely Garklein piccolo recorder lines in them (or potentially be transposable), repertory-wise (Corelli, San Martini, Telemann)? And might your granddaughter Isla be able to play first the Garklein piccolo recorder as a first musical instrument in 3 or 4 years?:) ... The M 3/31/25 WUaS News and Q&A meets in about 20 minutes online in a Zoom conference, and may walk up the great Rabbit Hill Preserve park (with native American designs painted on the water containers at top) near the center of Middletown, with 360 degree panoramic views around to stream the WUaS News & Q&A, if the rain lets up   ... Ed, thanks so much for the Kaiser Permanente email about acupuncture and when best to use tele-health or Tele-Medicine if you were in composing that   ... https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2025/03/yreka-phlox-phlox-hirsuta.html ...(Might WUaS get an active Board of Directors out of the Stanford Law School's Stanford Rock Center, many of whom might be women even?:)  Fond regards, more later, Scott 





March 31

Ma, Ed, Pin ... Greetings ... was glad to get a first call in years it seems from my brother yesterday while driving in this minivan ... (and read on ... but could it also have been to develop new communication connections IT in this incredible Sienna Woodland minivan ...  and by Sandy's possible colleagues? ) ...   What a surprise that my brother Sandy called me yesterday as I was driving north on Hwy 101 north of the Golden Gate Bridge ... after possibly a year or years ... He wanted to use the Facetime App so that partly Isla and I could talk ... prior to he and his family heading to Pittsburgh on Tu 4/1/25 - Th 4/3/25 for your birthday Ma ... (also a surprise) ... I gained some new insights into my brother's thinking and personality (and maybe even into his unconscious) ... Could he have called somehow having spoken with you Pin - since he sounded like you yesterday for a few sentences ... or because I had emailed Cuttyhunker David Thurston (now in the US federal government too ?) yesterday too for the first time in months and could Sandy have heard from David somehow too as Cuttyhunkers ? It was nice to talk with Sandy (and here's my email to David - "Greetings from the UU congregation of Marin up on a beautiful hill !" ... "Hi David, 

How are you? How is life in the DC area? Greetings from the UU congregation of Marin up on a beautiful hill !

Are you continuing to be involved in All Souls UU church in DC? Have you or might you have met a life partner and for beginning a family therein ? Nice to see you last Nov 27, 2024, the day before Thanksgiving in DC with Tym, his brother, and his nephew too. 

Just heading north again back to the Harbin Hot Springs area, Heart Consciousness Church. Still haven't landed yet in a newly safe open 670A Ridgecrest Rd Canyon 94516, but continue to think it will happen, with US federal law working effectively with state of CA law in new ways. 

I've come to a few Contra Dances, and potentially a Scottish Country Dance here too, here at this UU church of Marin.

Last week in Berkeley on the weekend, from Lake county, I stopped at the UU Fellowship of Berkeley on Cedar around 10;30 am out of curiosity. Was told a trans speaker was speaking celebrating the joys of being a woman, and in the month of the woman ... by 50-something Gyllian at the door with a British accent (originally from Zimbabwe she later said - and so she was thus a 'colonial' she also said, Berkeley-wise ... Maybe in the future she could help with Zimbabwe World Univ & Sch). I decided there at the door to move on, also not signing the sign in sheet. Went on to the Berkeley Friends unprogrammed Quaker Meeting not far away ... and sat on the front steps ... Am continuing to grow a worldwide abolition movement at WUaS and to protect people, and to abolish international organized crime or at least knock it back, as well as to abolish the wrongful buying and selling of people in the illegal sex drugs violence etc industries' internationally and their latent networks of violence. 

Harbin for a 2nd ethnographic book project, physical-digital calls (and see PS) ... and after I finish writing "Society Information Technology and the Global University" but am still getting my mind around WUaS planned Museums, all ever, and in a realistic virtual earth for museums and the ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE and Machine Learning ... 

How is tutoring going  ? And what else are you up to? Seeing Cuttyhunk friends from time to time?

Cheers, 
Scott

(re my mother - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Unitarian%20Universalist - and re my father and mother having met and married in 1957 and had Sandy and I in the UU Church in Cincinnati Ohio :)

PS
Just shared this with a Harbin contact this morning from around 2004 ... 


Hi from UC Berkeley, close to the Freek Theatre where the Dead played many concerts. Nice to see Prem with you the other day near the Harbin warm pool (having connected a bit with her re the warm waters as our space suits body suits of the warm pool a couple of times seeking). Here's the incredible Google AI studio replies on how to create a realistic virtual Harbin Hot Springs - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2025/03/5th-water-hotsprings-diamond-fork.html in yesterday's Sat 3/29/25 blog post. And here are the 5 talks I've given in UC Berkeley Anthropology Tourism Studies' working group about my first book "Naked Harbin Ethnography" (2016,  @WUaSPress on Twitter)  ... and my upcoming 2nd Harbin ethnographic book project from and in a Realistic Virtual Harbin and our hone bathtubs too. Cheers, Scott (~ https://goo.gl/maps/7gSsSTweRCBo9gf87 ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~

My mother Janie MacLeod texted us (me Pin Ed) -

What a lovely gift.  I can tell what's in the pkg. from the feel of it but I won't open it until the 2nd or later.  Thanks for helping me celebrate in such a special way. Love, Ma

Wow, Ma (& all), that was quick from Berkeley to Verona /pgh - the post mistress had said your birthday present would get to you by 4/3/25 (& I also put 670A Ridgecrest  Canyon 94516 as return address as you may have noticed) ... What are the names again of the Baroque composers you and Jean on alto recorders gravitate to often for sheet music  ... as "Baroque ear candy?":)  💕, Happy Birthday, fondly, Scott (http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/chamber%20music) 













AND
Friday March 28, 2025 to Harbin heads re tire vandalism to my vehicle

to Ishvara, Sajjad, Alexa, deirdre, Ed, Heather, Peter, Rosemary, Richard, Eric, sajjad, Sanna, Edwin, Scott, Gate.com, s, Barbara, jon, Christina, Scott, John, Shawn, Pin, V, me
Dear Rosemary (Cordova), (Linda Finley, Harbin general manager, electric Dave told me), Ishvara, Sajjad, All,

Greetings. Really nice to see you after the US Rep Mike Thompson Coffee Event & QA at Twin Pines' Resort last Friday 3/21/25 - and after 10-20 years, since 2004 when I was a Harbin Resident for about 4.5 months and you occasionally drove me to MacArthur BART station. Thank you! Is your husband still a Lake County sheriff?

My passenger rear tire had a nail in it on Tuesday 3/25/25 near the Meadow Area at Harbin, and with the pressure down to 8 psi, I drove it in to Middletown, filled it up to 38 psi and then car camped in the area, since the tire seemed to be holding the air. (Had someone let the air out of the tire at Harbin - at least partly?) The next morning the tire pressure was low again. I was able to drive it again to a filling station, and it was down to 28 psi. So I filled the tire up again and drove it to the Walmart tire center in Clearlake. They looked at it, found a nail in the tread near the edge ... and said I had to replace it, and that it was drivable, filling it up to 40 psi. So I drove it successfully ~150 miles to Toyota Palo Alto and got the tire replaced at my own cost ($352.48) and then drove out to the Pacific ocean to car camp again. 

I came to Harbin again yesterday afternoon for 24 hours, and the car camped in the meadow area again ... and when I got up, and looked at the new tire, the cap to the air nozzle was gone. I'm seeking to end the vandalism to my vehicle at Harbin Hot Springs, and thus am writing to you.

After Yoga meditation soaking in the warm pool this morning, 
I asked Dancing Yogi Heather in the upper changing room what she would do re the nail in tire (wondering even if the person with the lock on the end upper wooden locker near the exit was one of the psychopathic? criminal? perpetrator vandals. Heather said that his name is 'little john' ... And that Heather suggested asking Jonny Streiter who is at Harbin (and whom I know from 2004 but I didn't see Jon).

I went down to the front kiosk and made a report there too.

Police report ? Should I call this in to the Lake County police - per your sheriff husband, Rosemary? Could the perpetrators(s) or Garbin even cover the cost?

Glad I sought US federal protection for my mother, brother in Maine and myself many months ago in some of these regards too (and regarding sadly a murderous run through attempt of me in my first asylum house in Pittsburgh, PA in April 2023, among other reasons).

Thoughts, suggestions?

Thanks, Warm regards, best wishes,
Scott
