July 17 - Imprimatur


Harriet


off


north


for


Claire's


birthday,


but,


before she can depart,


she needs to print a job,


and her computer has just died,


so she needs my printer,


which is in need of a new cartridge,


which requires an early return from Diablo,


delayed


by


traffic,


scenic-


but-


slow


side


roads,


and a petrol stop. 


Upon a fond departure, back to DVC,


and an eventual rather hasty loop home,


composing page 6 of Sex and the Species on the 126th day of summer, high down to 84 (76th of 80-or-beyond)...
