The out-and-about also includes
another
Pony Express jaunt,
this the last in the University of California, Davis,
Arboretum,
walking from Center for Child and Family Studies Parking via the
Arboretum's GATEway
Garden
(that's Gardens, Arts, and The Environment, never mind that the usage in this context is a tad round-robin),
past
Christopher Fennel's
Shovel Gateway (2013) to the
Commons (formerly which featured a Borders Books and Music, to which a pilgrimage was made many Sundays for the New York Times, difficult to obtain that day elsewhere locally, back in the days of more widespread use of print).
Return confirms the
fate of poor
Formerly-the-Main-Channel
Putah Creek
(to whit, the occasional violent flooding,
vis a vis human experience,
proved its undoing),
through
Australian /
New Zealand
Collection,
proving
potentially
a
much
more
extensive
hike
than
planned...
on the
101st day of
summer,
high again 91
(and, suspiciously Dixon and Davis at identical highs of yesterday as well -- respecively, 91 and 95),
with more video production in the evening,
partially over a Metropolitan Opera quixotic production of Dmitri Shostakovich's marvelous
The Nose, Op. 15 (1928).
