My Sunday morning, fellow humans.

Today I went to the building where I used to hold down a cube, to retrieve the last few things I kept there. This was chalked on the wall of the parking garage. Can anyone read it? I think it’s probably Chinese of some variety—or anyway I don’t see anything I recognize as kana.

Does anyone know the specs of an appropriate wall anchor for use with the longer, coarser-threaded section of this screw, and where I can buy exactly two of them? As best I can tell, that section is an M6 wood screw, 35mm long. It’s going horizontally into a hollow drywall wall, no studs are available, and it’s got to support a vertical load of approx 25 kg (60 lb).

Needs to be either an online storefront or local to Pittsburgh, PA.
