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).
