I went outside and watched a hummingbird sip from the jasmine blossoms, while the acorn woodpeckers chattered and the jays screeched. Strong breezes unleashed fresh showers from the laden leaves and needles of the trees. The stretch of open sky, like a long blue lake, slowly moved northward between its gray cloud banks and, before the sun reached the horizon it was obscured again, so the dusk was grey and dim. The clouds must have remained thinner southward above the valley as I could see the sky there like a bright silver streak slowly fading as night arrived. Then, when full dark had come, part of the western sky cleared again and I saw Venus gleaming there, a lone bright star skirting the treetops. I knew that Jupiter was then rising in the east but was concealed from view by the clouds. Venus was sufficient, though, an isolated splendor adorning the chilly night. I heard distant purrs of thunder from the mountains. It sounded like contentment.

Reset Forty-Nine, Day Thirteen
My beer tastes odd. It might be a consequence of the potatoes I had for dinner. I got some ready-to-cook potatoes of a brand I've had and enjoyed in…

Reset Forty-Nine, Day Twelve
When I wake for a while in the mornings now and look outside it seems the light is less bright than it once was. There always seems to be a vague…

Reset Forty-Nine, Day Eleven
One way to avoid the heat of the day is to sleep through it, which is what I seem to be doing lately. It isn't a plan, but it's happening anyway.…
