June 5 - Looking Up


Fresh Voices XIV rehearsal at


San Francisco Community Music Center, including John Bilotta's Rosetta's Stone,


Yvonne Freckman's Close Encounters of the Hillbilly Kind,


Helena Michelson's It Isn't Music That...,


Richard Bagwell's  


To Hell with Heroes, and


Mark Alburger's Abducted by Aliens (having by now finished the video subtitles through X. 1973 Pascagoula Abduction / 1976 Tehran UFO Incident / 1986 Japan Air Lines). 


Out after with



Harriet and Vicky to


Cafe


La Taza,


then


make


the


way


back


beyond


the


margins


of


the


compromised


blue. 


Upon


returning


to


the local area,


the huge


Monticello Fire,


on Rocky Ridge,


west of Winters,


looms large, so... cannot resist heading up 505


and


west


on


128


for


a closer look,


driving to a roadblock at Pleasants Valley Junction. 


South from here, across Putah Creek,


lingering


looks


back


through the


Quail Canyon area,


then the peaceful (at least for now)


graben undulations,


and


errands...


Previous to all this,


videos as noted above,


purchase an audio-cable splitter,


and


take


the


journey


southwest


towards


stratified


sophistication....

High inland a toasty 99, on the 114th day of summer (63rd 80-or-beyond, 29th at 90+).
