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.
