Decidedly different Fourth,

walking,

with

Harriet,

in

Davis,

a Near-Pony-Express-Experience,

on E Street, north from Second, past De Vere's Irish Pub,

to Third and

back adjacent to a closed BurgerIM (Tel Aviv chain who's name, Burgerim, is Hebrew for lots of burgers, and is evidently in lots of trouble, far beyond Davis).

Auto return is a kind of reverse-recapitulation of route thus far: past a horsie,

cowie, and

llamaie --

on Hutchison...

then Campbell,

Sievers

(ground zero hop stakes for Ruhstaller Farm -- which has acres adjacent to I-80 north of Kidwell / Pedrick, advertising "We grow beer"),

Pitt School,

Nunes (not Devin, we hope)

orchards,

O'day over

Sweeney Creek,

Lewis,

Weber (another ale locality -- SBC, Solano Brewing Company),

Kilkenny sunflowers -- much with a background of Mt. Diablo, Lagoon / Vaca Mountains, English Hills, etc.

104th day of summer, high up 8 to 98 (Dixon, 93; Davis, 97)...

the froth and substance of a Metropolitan Opera production rebroadcast

W.A. Mozart's Don Giovanni, K. 527 (1787),

over futher academic videographic endeavors...

Out

for

errands

mid-

day,

late afternoon,

still at work,

in counterpoint with a rebroadcast of Kingdom of Heaven (2005),

appropriately featuring a late "cameo" of Richard the Lionheart, +

nature videos.

After Student

Music

Zoom conferences,

Finally,

al fresco again,

in search of

filmic possibilities,

as well as another

Pony Express Proximity (the Trail was probably one block east on D),

walking south on E to the

junction of Richards and First,

then north from here at the John Natsoulas Gallery to Second, having begun from the block's mid-point --

on the

103rd day of

summer,

high up 3 to

90,

with Dixon at 86 and

Davis, 89...

also accounting for the most recent section of
