+ driving car on streets going through confusing traffic lights, cities on the river, drive to store, packets of BBQ sauce, fireworks at house

In a car driving on streets in traffic. Several times approach traffic lights, and the lights turn off. Does a turned off light mean you can go or you have to stop? Second time this happens I see traffic going? I decide to go, turning left street bends to the left, choosing which lane to go into, 2nd from left?

Thinking about/telling about cities along the river, how one city is between other cities along the river.

I drive to a store and pull up and stop, get out go in I'm delivering a bunch of packets of BBQ sauce. I pull the packets out of my pocket and one bursts and stains the lower right portion of my shirt, I head to the bathroom to wash up (I taste the sauce?). A girl is talking about how she wants to construct the drink cooling apparatus, a medium sized machine that they will fill with cooling stuff including a bunch of tomatoes which will keep things cold? I don't think the tomatoes will work.

I arrive at a house on suburban street I've brought stuff for a party including packs of fireworks (like sparkler sticks) in bags, standing on street next to driveway of party house, a friend takes one and sets it off: he spins around in a circle several times and sets off the firework while spinning, and the firework maintains the spin and corkscrews up into the sky and explodes, I think it's interesting how it maintained the spin. Another friend takes one and sets it off, it doesn't go high, it forms a short word that floats around a circle from the party house driveway to the house across the street and almost hits the garage door of the other house. Friend disappointed in this but I say no it was really cool. Another friend grabs a firework and sets it off, I say "OK, do I have to go hide these in the house?" (it's not time for them yet). I then discover packets of BBQ sauce in my pants will, I've forgotten to deliver them I'll have to return, somebody (wife?) asks if I really have to.


04:53 BTB

Long long long back to sleep. 1.5-2 hours easily probably. Did "relaxing SSILD" for a while, including long cycles. Takes a while for my mind to settle down but eventually start to get the drowsy feeling. Almost got up but felt the beginnings of sleepiness so stayed with it. What worked at last was total letting go on every exhale both physical and mental. Fair bit of almost dream-like (people) HI.

+ (f) bed mother pee, friend DD

+ nuns(?) are fixing poop plumbing something's clogged

They (women, nuns?) want to try opening up the poop plumbing to see if it's fixed, I really don't want to do that since I do not see a shutoff valve and the pipes are all disconnected still so if I turn it on a bunch of poop is going to come out. They're pouring water into one of the intermediate holes and it's flowing out from the hole right next to it, I think that means it's still clogged somewhere

+ DO woman walking outside drunk guys bothering her, giant comes to defend her pushes them away; talking to man & woman man funny head/nose, talking about literature?; leaving room and return a table is in front of the door

I'm flying DO about 20 feet up over the scene looking down, several obviously drunk guys are following and bothering a woman, then there's a male giant there who bats them away from her.

Talking to some guy and a girl, his head has a ridge along the center top like a Klingon, I say something about this and he presses the ridge down and it vanishes but his nose simultaneously grows very large: it must be either one or the other. Discussing something about literature I say something (forgot).

I leave a room, do something, then return, I see that upon my return a fairly large table has been placed in front of the door, I think this is a good way to keep people from entering. I'm inside the door looking out and notice there is a little path in between the door and the wall.

+ our group walking to convenience stood want microwave burrito people have cake, friend EMW runs store, wait for refund, EMW piano keyboard behind counter, plays riff from concert piece

Our group is heading to the convenience store for snacks, walking in twilight coming around a path bending to the right, others are already returning, they're carrying plates of cake, 1-2 thin rectangular small slices of cake lying sideways on a dinner plate. I think I want something more substantial like a microwave burrito. Approaching store I see someone slicing cake and handing it to someone. Enter the store, this is my friend from boy scouts EMW's store (false memory)! He's sitting behind the counter to the left. He told me (false memory) that the first time in his store he would get me stuff for free! I keep waiting for him to offer to give me free things but he never does. I think it's because I'm here with a group. Our total is around $5. I see he's sitting at a piano keyboard as part of the counter, and recall (false memory) he's a great pianist, and ask him to play a section from his recent competition piece, and he quickly plays a fast run with a strong chord at the end and I think it sounds great.

+ class discussion friends driveway blueberry plant CS question, RB wife can't solve, I give speech about learning new things

Standing in a driveway unknown location outdoors daylight, a bunch of people are there it's a class of some sort. I'm standing on the edge of the driveway at the street on the right-side facing the house. Boy scout friend RB is there in front of me. The subject of discussion are the computer science properties of a potted blueberry plant. RB's wife (to RB's right) seems confused and doesn't know the answer, I know it has to do with constants. RB says "hey that's her, not me" he doesn't want to be blamed for her not knowing. I take the potted plant in my hands and look at it, it is lovely with green leaves and purple flowers? There are about 20 little shoots of the plant growing out of the pot. I feel sorry for RB's wife and show the plant to her and say "at least you can appreciate the beautify of the plant" trying to make her feel better. Then I make a long speech about how "those of us who have been working in CS and reading for 5, 10, 20, 40 years know all of these examples instinctively without having to think. If I were to take up a subject new to me, like particle physics, I wouldn't know the axioms of the subject, the compound and the …(can't think of word for fundamentals) atomic principles of the subject, they would be new to me". The teacher nods his head and says "good job, <my name>"
