2nd great rehearsal,


preceded by

medical


and


automobilic


adventures


about


town,


checking


into


Firestone


to ensure


that the long journey ahead


will work;


sideshow


for



matters


financial,


and


pharmaceutical,


given the dicey nature


of this


week's challenges,


eventually


print out


(double-sided, new at home) and


have bound

initally

then


onward


to

over


the


Sulfur


Springs


Mountains --


Vallejo,


Napa


River


Bridge and

Marsh,


distant


views of Sears Point and the


Sonoma Mountains,


over the Slough


for


closer-


ups...


seemingly

nothing


to

stop us,


connecting


to


Marin


and



101


south --


the


electricity


of


past


and


present...



Waldo Grade,


the Tunnel,


clear shot down the Headlands to


Golden Gate and the


Bridge,


views of Black's Beach through


Lincoln


Park,


Seal


Rock,


Point Lobos,


past poor post-Pandemic Louie's and



Cliff House --

a Great way to


Sloat


east


to Stern Grove,




19th south


and


Lakeside Presbyterian Church,


while criminals remain unpunished,


on the

232nd day of summer,
