but time for the day's


outing on the


Pony Express


Just-About:


an L-shaped walk west and


south along Campbell on


the UC Davis Campus to


Mid-Barn --


this the 93rd day of summer,


high down 2 to 98 (Dixon, 95; Davis 97).


Hot


rod


back


town


for


a


supply


run,


then home for more work in counterpoint to


Metropolitan Opera rebroadcast of


John Adams's


Dr. Atomic (2005) and


Stephen Colbert's interview of


John Bolton,


particularly re his better-late-than-never


The Room Where It Happened (June 23, 2020),


yet another thorough condemnation of the Great Barbarian Mendacious Psychopath...
