December 16 - Dark Passages


Well,


not totally overjoyed


making this


second additional trip south --


gas, time, toll --


even diversionary strategies necessary when approaching the college, but at least reasonably scenic, given the inclement climes, of this particular day... Ludwig van Beethoven's 248th birthday, 36th of fall, high down 2 to 55 (Martinez, 61; Pleasant Hill, 63): .71 additional precip for 4.75 since July 1.  Drop off the wayward clave without incident (turns out even additional situation to be rectified, so the trip definitely worthwhile) --


back homeward before the


full wrath of the day's storm hits to edit page 86 new-edition Mice and Men, Op. 45 (1992): Act III and to begin
