| this could have been a useful picture had it not been a total failure - anyway the confluence of Padaro Lane, Santa Claus Lane, Highway 101, and the BNSF rails |

Bagels, walked the dogs around the block, took off to Romero Canyon and hiked for a couple hours up and down the mountains behind Carpentaria. Damage from the big blowout of boulders out of said mountains 2 years ago was much mitigated except the 20 people killed in their beds in the middle of the night by round rocks the size of locomotives could be renovated. Lunch in our old neighborhood of Santa Claus Lane was appreciated. Much talk of negotiating a visit with Richard; no news on that effort that I know of. Maybe later.
Later: At the Wine Bistro we met with R and some drinks, some nice bread and oil and finally a poblano pizza which seemed more like a plum pizza, good though. Home to Cota and drifting off to beds.
