Anna and I did a little shopping for some much needed clothes, for me. you see I walk to work, round-trip is about five miles, and I wear out shoes and pants so freaking fast. anyway, pleased to note Halloween stuff has been brought out by all and sundry merchandisers. ain't no thing, really, but I love Fall, and really dig Halloween. and today was a beautiful pre-Fall day: the light in California, oh man! I do believe 19th Century French plein-air painters would die from orgasms if they found this light. but don't take it from me, cuz I am biased mofo. dig?
