June 21 - Higher
Over the Sierra with Harriet via
Emigrant and
Yuba
Gaps, down the
Truckee River Canyon to
Megan's
for a
visit, including a run to
Jimboy's (a small chain, franchise of which has been passed many times near Auburn -- sort of slow-food Mexican take-out) and meeting her new beau
Harold. Long welcome call from John Browning in Southern California, wondering why I'm not there (the trip is planned for next week -- but various circumstances may alter plans), then time to
depart,
past a
petrol stop,
then out of the Reno basin
to
the semi-operatic
Verdi
(Vur-dye,
in local parlance),
up
the
Truckee River
Canyon to
Donner Pass and beyond, with the second movement of the Magnificat incorporated into the Vespers and new Waiting for Godot videos posted on YouTube including
XXX. Recitative - Now! and
XXXI. Arioso - Thank You, Gentlemen.
