Out in California

Monday, pristine light,

P1090737 P1090738

trucks to be loaded, unloaded [not shown]

P1090747 P1090753

and a trip to Two Hews where Shawn got his electricals sorted.

Meanwhile the studio, backlit, remained temporarily emptied and we all ate lunch in the yard.

Tuesday was cacophonous with murmuring dogs, barking dogs, then by 6:30 jackhammering which segued into seven o’clock’s leaf-blowers…time to get up, venture forth and get on with our lives…

including but not limited to the extraction of staples and tacks from twice-used stretchers, the extraction of groceries from Raley’s, the Southampton parking lot

and grasseous greenness by the bay [backed by a soundtrack of ubiquitous leaf-blowerers]

Wednesday was more peaceful,

Raley’s again;

P1090804

t-shirt weather downtown but

screaming winds the next…

P1090821

[colder than it looks]

nonetheless not much to complain about and although as Nancy Pelosi said, about someone who’s been all too much in the news of late, “He campaigned as a closer, but now it’s time to lose the “c” “, complaining about that’s just stupid.

Just…stupid.

    Stupid- but weirdly satisfying; nothing worse than an itch that cannot be scratched. USAmerica is now a hideous reality show blaring at top volume on a television set that cannot be turned off. And speaking of hideous reality, that yellow Hummer…yeesh. And your anodyne truck next to it for comparison. One notes the difference.

    I too appreciated the pairing of yellow hummer and charming honest pick-up. We have those sunny days with piercing winds down here too.
