Beltane Full Last Frost Moon
The last legcom call of the session tonight. I went into the Sierra Club office to make the call because I had to be in a meeting at 6 pm just down the block. The legcom call is at 5pm. Not enough time to make it into the city for a 6pm meeting.
I got a chili cheese dog (oh, I know…) and a blueberry smoothie at the Fast Freeze across the street from the Sierra Club offices. Eating local.
The last meeting was interesting, but went over time. I was glad when it ended.
I still had the drive back to Andover of course, but I have a new book on DVD, so I had a reward. It’s a W.E.B. Griffith novel about the covert world. He’s not very adroit at getting the backstory into the narrative, in essence he tells most of it rather than shows. The real book starts somewhere well after the first few pages.
It was one of those northern nights when the modest heat of the day lingered atop the oncoming chill of the evening, a time when driving becomes mesmerizing, a trip back in time. Nights spent cruising drive-ins, looking for girls. Nights driving past the acres and acres of corn that grew in the fields that surrounded my hometown. A night driving back to Kona from Kiluaea, a full moon in the sky and the air scented with jacaranda and jasmine.
