August 18 - Fires


Fire has indeed broken out in the Coast Ranges north of the Bay Area -- the Hennessey and Spanish Fires near Lake Berryessa merging with others to be dubbed the

 L[ake]N[apa]U[Unit] Lightning Complex Fires.


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

(ah there's the ridge, still!)


towards the


Bike


Path,


then


northeast


to


Lone

on


this


again-very-strange


139th day of


summer,

the prelude


and actuality of Day 2 re the


2020 Democratic National Convention (including participation by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, b. 1989) to nominate


Joe BIden (b. 1942) as



President! --

live, plus speeches by



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).


Very early in the hours, Seth Meyers (b. 1973) with Robert Costa (b. 1985),
