The "out" part of the day
also involves
2 more jaunts
on
Pretty-Much-the-
Pony-Express-Trail at University of California, Davis --
first walking
southwest
from Wyatt Pavilion Parking
to its
namesake
and
beyond,
looping
back
along Putah Creek Impoundment /
Spafford Lake,
to discover Wyatt Deck and its extraordinary piano
(which surely should be featured in videos even beyond today),
as well as the
T. Elliot Weir
Redwood Grove.
For second stint,
repark the car at Center for Child and Family,
doing a counter-clockwise circuit this time on either side of Formerly-Known-As-Putah-Creek,
back to Old Davis,
returning via
Solano Park Bridge
(one of several names that confrim that, yes, the south side used to be in said county)...
Auto-ward,
explore about town,
returning via
Mace and
80,
on the
100th day of summer,
high up
2
to
93,
with
Dixon at 91 and
Davis 95.
More video work in the evening, partly in counterpoin to a Metropolitan Opera rebroadcast of
Gioachino Rossini's The Italian (Girl) in Algiers (1813, with its striking Overture oboe solo that I was glad to let 7th-grader Wayne Weisel play, as 2nd chair 6th grader --
oh, indeed, and the opera beyond...
