Linger thereafter with many, including
Nanette McGuiness and
Crystal Philippi,
before
heading
out
via
24
and
the
relatedly-scenic
680 /
80 corridor to
Black Bear for a
late afternoon repaste,
followed
by typical further musical activities re Street Songs and Psalm 84. (pdf page 42 of former -- finishing The Junkies -- and 11 composed for latter).
The day,
after the most significant rain of the year,
consistently
features
dramatic
sky,
including
during our morning journey over
the Benicia.
