The 26 no motivation blues almost succeeded again. Air conditioning is nice, and bed is comfortable. But K promised pleasant temps would last for only one more day so I decided to take advantage of a hike in the 60s without spending a month's paycheck to drive up a hill.

Learned what the triangle is, and then met there. A real lot and trail spur to Alta were new to me. The alignment didn't work out for a view of the monster moonset but air quality was pretty good. I joined L in complaining about the heat as the sun was blasting even before 9.

All the fun reptile sightings were exhausted yesterday and I was treated only to a lot of dry dead grass and rocks.

Wildflowers Observation None
Death is evident and plentiful.
