December 19 - Darkness Into Quite

Have always been a fan of biographies, maps, and timelines -- so enthusiasm continues for Facebook's new Timeline, complete with a Map view.  As the appointed hour arrives to leave for the Crystal rendezvous, figure an early start won't hurt, and indeed, leaving 15 minutes earlier at this end results in arriving an astounding hour earlier at the other, the traffic being so much lighter (but still not, however, anywhere near clear).

Make the rounds of errands early, therefore, and end up at Crystal's, delivering Bette's gifts, and proceeding together, with the ever-present Stanley, 

to the Open Space, 

which 

is 

as 

beautifully 

foggy 

and 

mysterious 

as 

it's

ever 

been, 

only really breaking after our departure.  

Head 

up 

to 

Novato 

for 

standard 

vehicular 

maintenance 

and 

then 

homeward 

in 

clear 

windy 

weather 

for 

extended rest.  Do the day's musical quotient in the evening (including 17 pdf Street Songs, beginning III. Cowboy and Nevada, and composition of Psalm 82 page 9), which stretches again, La Monte Young fashion, towards morning.
