July 26 - Whirlwind


A flurry of activity, including the next pdf for Missa "The a Deux": III. Credo (part 6) and the ninth page composed for Psalm 66, before heading out to Diablo Valley College -- with the way back ominously


transformed.  But all is calm initially,


past the library and all the way to vistas of the college's


namesake,


recording

All the BBC Sound Files

XLVI. Turkey
XLVII.-XLVIII. Crowds
XLIX. Suburbs
L. France


on a day when ducks seemingly are in


the pseudo Di Chirico majority (although nice to note that the Music Literature class has increased from 17 to 21 folks -- now large enough to be a reality).


During a swing by the business office,


followed


by


area


errands,


one cannot help but notice the dire cloud to the north.


Another Martinez refinery fire?


But no,


it looms and


lurks


farther


ahead,


in


Fairfield,


growing more dangerous upon approach, and still


impressive


while


contouring


to


the


west


and


north.


Follow the course of flame and smoke on live internet video while working on The Countess Cathleen orchestration (page 68),


noticing the change of light outdoors.


The smoke has reached the local area,


but high above,


so it seems safe to take to the grounds and roof to take in the view north to the Vaca Mountains and English Hills and south to the


Lagoons -- all surreally transformed.


The particulates dissipate, the verge is trimmed (with some repercussions on the right arm),


Bud stops by to help with the yard, Harriet heads for a Weill rehearsal, another repairman provides a second opinion on the door via a second re-drilling (the first being last year at about this same time), and the day's video is edited (sixth for Bald Soprano), re-rendevousing with H for desert late.

Now at 578 MB (56.52%) of the 1024 MB for the blog -- a week ahead of scheduled usage, will try to be light the rest of the week, but there will certainly be significant usage beginning of next...
