(1) -------------A Sample Gas Log------------

The web site mentioned in the previous post is not this blog, but another blog. This blog was created after the encounter with Doctor Presken.

The purpose of this blog is to document my encounters with the various gasses and the various people I meet in my quest for clean air and privacy. Below is the 'gas log' for Thursday (yesterday). It will give you some idea of what goes on here every day:

I awoke naturally at about 5:30 am, much refreshed. Kootch (my Japanese wife) left at 7:00 am and soon after she left I began to noticed that old familiar burning sensation in my bronchial tubes when I inhaled. At 8:00 am (0800 - let's use 'military time' here) I began this log of gassing attacks. BR = Bed Room; LR = Living Room; PT = Potty; KK = Kitchen. Coughs refers to number of coughs. Taps refers to the number of taps, stomps, or wall-bangs, if any, which follow my cough.
time, location, coughs, taps

0800, LR, 1, 0
0803, LR, 1, 1
0807, LR, 1, 0
0808, LR, 2, 0
0816, LR, 3, 1
0820, KK, 1,0
0821, BR, 1,1
0825, LR, 1,0
0829, LR, 1,1
0838, LR, 2,1
0843, LR, 2, 0
0844, LR, 1, 0
0845, LR, 1, 0
0846, LR, 1, 0
0851, LR, 1, 1 (sharp pain in left lung)
0855, LR, 0,0 (clean air!)
0856, LR, 1, 1
0858, LR, 1, 0
0901, PT, (the usual tap from above as I urinate)
0903, BR, (clean air!)
0917, BR, 4, 0
0924, BR, 1, 1
0927, BR, 2, 0
0931, BR, 2, 0
0939, BR, 2, 1 (a wall boom)
0941, BR, 1, 0
0944, BR, (lost server)
0947, LR, 1, 0
0959, BR, (clear air)
1002, BR, 2, 0
1013, BR, 2, 1
1018, BR, 1,0
1024, BR, (several coughs)
1027, BR, 1, 0
1028, BR, 1, 0
1033, BR, 2, 1
1035, BR, 3, 1
1036, BR, 1, 0
1039, BR, 1, 0
1041, BR (full of gas. Fans on full power)
1054, BR (violent attack)
1056, BR (Kootch returns)
1106, (constant gas, fans at full power)

('Fans' refers to my ventilation system: two floor fans stacked one above the other in the bedroom and a similar stack in the living room. Air is drawn in by the bedroom fans and blown out by the living room fans. This works well to eliminate gas which might seep into the apartment through openings in the walls such as electrical outlets, but unfortunately, the gassers take advantage of the vs by injecting gas into the air just outside the bedroom window.)

Soon after that I left the apartment for the library. The log was not resumed, but gassing remained typical for the rest of the day. Whew. I may be looking for a way to consolidate this stuff. Such a log is way to labor-intensive.
