So a week with three trips to Vallejo [two to Kaiser, one to the upholsterer], a midday midweek

given over to lunching and an extended Saturday evening of dining with guests kind of broke the rhythms if any existed in the first place…not to mention Friday’s unanticipated weirdness from Thursday’s shingles shot, early morning car-moving to facilitate highly impactful and much-needed Radical Tree-Trimming.

In and out of bits of weather, whether unexpected or, as archival investigations continued

[above,”Tex’s car”, 1961 above Riddle [detail], USGS, 1989], not but always morning walks and

a long pissed-off afternoon one Sunday, all the way back from the marina with a jammed chain

on the ancient bicycle. Nonetheless the next week began in early light, way nice…

and not so bad by, bicycle repaired, afternoon either though by Tuesday a dire February

haze overlaid the life but at least the life proceeded uninterrupted those few first days.

A very few days…
