Another day
(aren't they all... ideally?)
of mixing the business of pleasure with the pleasure of business,
in the early morning hours over a Metropolitan Opera production rebroadcast of Gioachino Rossini's The Barber of Seville (1816) --
eventually
another
Near-Pony-Express Experience
(first stopping to film a bit at
UC's Wyatt Deck) in
Davis,
walking north on E from the junction of 4th,
to its intersection with
5th at the
Fire Department
and
return.
Back
on
the
freeway
southwest,
smoke
in
the
Coast
Ranges,
fire
on
Cordelia
Hill,
visible
from
Chadbourne
and
Suisun --
and
hope
this
does
not
presage
a
severe
conflagration
season.
Suisun
Valley
to
I-
80
northeast,
video-ing
again
in
Lagoon
Valley,
on the
106th day of summer,
high down 6 to 94
(Dixon, 90;
Davis, 93).
More filmic work in the evening,
partially over
Apollo 13 (1995).
It's been 10 days since the untimely passing of Joyce Palmer -- wonderful person and step-mother to Claire, memorialized by Nathan in a poignant blog on Carring Bridge, with last entry today...
