A good time to
embark on the
72nd Vacaville Streets Walk,
accomplishing the distance from
West Woodstock Mailbox Divide,
northwest to Arcadia, and thence northeast to
Orlando --
on the
106th day of summer,
high down 13 to
75... the death date of
Mumtaz Mahal (1593-1631, inspiration for
Shah Jahan [1592-166] building the
Taj Mahal, 1653), + birthdays of
Charles Gounod (1818-1893, seen here in a photograph from 1860),
Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971, in one of two 1920 portraits by
Pablo Picasso, 1881-1973 [Self-Portrait, 1907]), and
Maurits Cornelius Escher (1898-1972, Hand with Reflection, 1925).

continuing
record-high
petrol
prices.
