Morning and evening,

more work registering

various works with ASCAP,

specifically the remaining

Broke Dance Intermezzi, Opp. 297-322.

Between these endeavors,

out

for

another

two-part

Pony Express Experience,

pretty much the route, just south of Putah Creek -- but so different from the 1860-61 era, when this alternate byway (the main adventure ended in Sacramento, and the mail was usually transported downriver) was probably only utilzed 20 times or so, and then in the dark!

OK, here we go,

first parking back of Mondavi Center and walking in the Arboretum,

a palmish path

along Formerly-Known-As-The-Creek,

now more of a long lakish distented compoundment,

Re-park near Mrak Circle,

present location for two of the late Davis Art Professor

Robert Arneson[1930-1992]'s

Eggheads (1992), specifically the scuptural diptych

See No Evil / Hear No Evil --

the others progressively north and east of here being Eye on Mrak (Fatal Laff, the second to be installed,, either just before or after the artist's death in 1992)

Bookhead (the first to be installed, in 1991)

Yin and Yang (a second diptych, looking to be in that order in front of the

Theatre Department), and

Stargazer.

Where are we?

Pole Line to

Airport (in the spirit of Sean Astin's Sam Gamgee in Peter Jackson's take on J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the the Rings, the farthest I've been from home during the Pandemic).
