Dreams about HP Corvallis

 I do have a series of repeating dreams about me coming back to Hewlett Packard site in  Corvallis.  Remember being on the site;  the large young crowd of new employees, all in their early thirties, is there. I am also there walking around, but nobody knows who I am and people are mostly ignoring me. I believe I was there already not as an employee, but as a guest, so it felt as being an unwanted visitor/guest nobody cares about.

Another version came out today; I mostly have forgotten it. I do recall being at HP Corvallis when major layoffs were announced; the people are stressed out and not sure what to do next in this small town. This time I was an employee as well and fully shared the fears and confusion of others.

Tropical Storm in San Diego

 Today, the first time in 50 years or so, a tropical storm has reached San Diego. (Hurricane Hilary  was downgraded to a tropical storm when it hit the land). The winds did not hit Ensenada and Tijuana so much; they drifted inland and hit San Diego mountains, including Cuyamaca State Park, Mt. Laguna and Julian.  Remains to be seen how heavy was the impact. We are in San Diego now and it has been raining the whole day, quite hard, but there is no floods. The eye  of the storm is now North from here (it is 8.30 pm). The heavy rain reminds me of Singapore.


8-23 update: the impact in Julian was not so hard; no major winds and about 2-3 inches of rainfall

Still another dream

 I am in Moscow, somewhere in the Moscow State University area, pby the tennis courts (I do not  recall,  were there  tennis courts there? Andrey Rublev is walking by, we talk, he says in a friendly manner, "OK, I will  play with you,  just do not tell Medvedev that I did". The dream breaks here somehow and I do not remember if we actually played or not.
