up
in
the
light
of
the
Southern Sierra Nevada Foothills, looking out on desertic and mountainous terrains.
Coffee with Carol;
we work on the
water purifier,
re-encounter
Michelle
on a walk,
survey
the
environs,
and
decamp
for
lunch
at
the
Twin Oaks
General Store Cafe
(pepperoni burger and salad),
meeting up with friends
old and
new.
Alas it is time to
take leave,
back
down
the
long
and
winding
Caliente
Creek
Canyon,
now
sunlit-
and-
shadowed
throughout,
down
to
Bodfish
Junction,
the
canyon
widening
to
distant
heights,
and
and the hot post office.
Checking in with Harriet and John (cellphone connections now possible again),
ascend to the
connection with
58,
down
the
Sierra
Foothill
slope,
then
take
the
much
longer,
but
certainly
less
winding,
99
towards
sunset
and home, where H waits along with ensuing pdf (At a Photo Shop:II, page 7) and compositional work (Double Piano Concerto: II [24] and The Decameron - Third Day: Novel VI [10]),
