December 18 - Arrivals and Departures, I


Tisha and Claire arrive,


and it is great to have them here.


After a nice initial visit,


it is time to head out to shopping, including new robes


and a


Roper dryer (the old one having died the night before Opus 49),


and,


since it is such another excellent day


(43rd of fall, high 53 locally


and


in


Yolo),


cannot


resist


taking


a


brief adventure on the


western Road Ends segment of Yolo County 27,


turning back at the first suggestion of a repeat performance re December 9 (in this isolation, virtually no hope of rescue),


followed by the 17th Inner Coast Range Walk (Winters towards Oregon),


on


88


from


Hedgerow California Native Seed Farm


to the


Northwest / Northeast


Compounds.


Return


on


a


loop east


and


south


via


505


to


compose 24 Tone Preludes: II.Veiled Sails page 13,


in counterpoint to more visiting...
