March 21 - Palme d'Or


Out


for


standard


maintainance


in


the


early


golden-


palmy


moony-


foggy


light,


down

and

to


Marin,


back


eventually


out


of


the


stratus,


through


a


fair


portion


of


beautiful


Solano,


with a loaner car to compose  



Water Music: Air - "Drops".


Returning late afternoon, notice that the borrowed car has an exterior thermometer, so, note with interest the steady decline of temperatures San Francisco Bayward in Solano and Sonoma, with only a slight re-ascent towards Marin, as follows:

Pick


up


the

and


head


back


an amazingly circuituous route via Novato Boulevard,


past the Giant Bay Trees,


Stafford


Lake


and


bovine-


oakish


undulations


beyond


(bestrewn


with


bountiful


bouquets),


north on Point Reyes - Petaluma Road through


Hicks


and


Union


Valleys,


becoming


D Street in

up

Canyon


to


Solano,


the striking scenes semi-natural and


decidedly


not-so,


in


he


gathering


darkness,


back


on


I-80


Lagoon-Mountains-wise


and


home.
