Air quality / visibility are poor enough on the midday
newspaper run
to begin a series of walks along
Ulatis Creek (where at least, initially, the sight lines are not so long, so there is at least the potential of seeing the Lagoon Mountains, forsaking futile attmpts to see the more distant Vacas on the Greenspace route -- and, OK, probably shouldn't be out walking at all on such a day), parking at Community Medical Center and

Colin Powell (b. 1937),
John Kerry (b. 1943), and
Jill Biden (b. 1951), with a benediction from
Mariann Budde (b. 1959 -- who righteously spoke out againt the Apostate Devil's desecration of the Bible for political purposes this past June 1 at St. John's Church adjacent to the White House).
