MARK ALBURGER, 2022: July 25

How hot is it?

Warm enough to keep the fires buring in Yosemite --

on the 144th day of summer,

high down 3 to 94 (actually the coolest day since the tie of this temp on July 13 --

but strange enough to feature northern lights in summer in Washington...

a perfect day

(or by this time, evening, really)

embark,

with Harriet,

on the 92nd Vacaville Streets Walk,

presently issuing from the intersection of South Regency and Ston(e)ybrook,

west on the former

Yale,

and

north

the

latter,

after

which

take

another

little

ol'

errand

run

directly

for

matters

financial

and

petrolic,

the sun

sets on this anniversary of

Constantine (272-337) being declared Emperor by his troops (306) and birthday of

Alfredo Casella (1883-1947).
