Fresh nuts and politics

Written last night:

Dear Friends,

It is more than 200 days since Clark died, and today he was with me everywhere — that tree where I think he stays at night — it swayed when Zing and I passed under it. The moon this morning — my favorite crescent, low and wide. The red Tesla that wove around me on I 80: Clark was laughing. 

I was driving west (yes! I know the directions now) to Pedrick’s Produce at the Dixon exit, to buy cashews for Rachel for her birthday. Pedrick’s is not just a nut store, but mostly. (Rachel, a big bag of fresh ones is on its way!) It feels good to be able to drive without hesitation. 

Pedrick’s is right off the interstate, but you can look across a field and see mountains. These distant majesties are growing on me, the same way the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico did in Florida. I didn’t think that would happen.  

At noon Zing and I went to Senator Kamala D. Harris’s office not far from our home; We stood with a small crowd to encourage the senator to keep to her principles in the face of strong opposition brewing in Washington. Zing tolerated the signs and speeches; he’s getting used to political action.

Then I visited the Geek Squad to deal with tech stuff. At least I know the way.  

Love, 
k

Zing hides his interest well
(But he made a new friend, who is holding his leash)
