Off. Out of the house for a sunset over the English Hills and Vaca Mountains, the heat breaking late,
with palm tree, and on the phone (not in car, of course, since now it is after July 1 and traditional cellphone usage in auto heretofore verboten....after all, IT'S THE LAW as the freeway signs kindly remind us) -- as every night this month -- with Harriet.
