With the Russian violence against Ukraine far from over, and
no convictions (yet) in the Michigan Governor Kidnap Case --
Harriet and I head out for the
44th Vacaville Streets Walk,
now northwest on Sequoia from Central Cogir Parking
to
the intersection of
Leisure,
where, 45 years after first arriving in California and hearing mourning doves (and just shy of 2 months after beginning
Catalogue of California Birds, Op. 382 (February 12, 2022)
with
V. Mourning Dove
and seeing YouTube videos of same),

bereft of female companionship (and yesterday's dame was not terribly interested anyway.... and I guess I'm a birdwatcher after all)...
on the 45th day of summer,
high up 3 to 92
(new record highest for the year thus far),
with
errands
afoot
and
a-car --
on this the 130 birthday of
architect
Richard Neutra (1892-1970)...
