MARK ALBURGER, 2022: June 2022

The dangers of Coronavirus still with us,

Cliff remains quaranteened

with Harriet and I keeping a positive social distance.

Definitely time for us to take a distancing stroll, the 77th of the Vacaville Streets series,

from Quail

northwest to

Arcadia,

northeast, ending up at Woodstock --

on the 119th day of summer,

high down 2 to 88.

Return to continue in semi-isolation the update of

Vocal Sonatina No. 1 ("Spitzer"), Op. 156 (2008), also

and more

at least

semi-encouragng

news about

the potential

to preserve

American

Democracy...

Pick up Cliff from Sacramento Airport after his mostly-happy (but airline-challenged and see-below) trip to Cuba, but he's picked up one unexpected, unwelcome traveller -- Coronavirus! --

so we have to return via I-5 west,

113

south,

and

southwest,

in visual splendor,

masked --

the

118th

day of summer,

high down 12 to 90 (locally and in

Dixon --

the 8-day 100+ wave,

which lasted the length of Cliff's Carribean adventur,

finally broken...

Davis & Woodland, 92 /

Sacramento, 91).

Time to quarantine down, while updating

The background to this -- safe-distancing, with Cliff on the sun porch, only coming into the house masked (soley for essentials and at a distance) -- is a blitz of world weather,
