visitor parking
When I was a kid, we’d almost always vacation in Colorado – camping trips, generally planned to coincide with a full moon. One of the regular stops we’d made were fish hatcheries and I have a very specific memory of going to one that had huge cottonwood trees around the parking lot. (Maybe that’s when my love of cottonwoods got started?) I can also remember a particular smell inside the hatchery’s sheds; the way thousands of fishes swam toward our shadows, hoping for food; and how even on the hottest days it was cool and pleasant around the fish.
Going to the fish hatchery last month in Santa Rosa reminded me of those vacations.

where you’ll find quality
I am pretty sure that most of my reader(s) are not aware that they could be purchasing their finer menswear in New Mexico. This inventory at this place runs the gamut from golf clothes to summer suits. And don’t forget that they offer service every day.

trash/stairway
San Antonio’s famed Riverwalk is below street level, which adds some interest to walking around. If you get really lucky, you can see the street-level entrance to a bar or restaurant and at the same time spot the river-level back stairs where last night’s trash awaits collection.
In this case, I was looking at the back stairs to Dick’s Last Resort while standing next to the street-level doorway; a little bit later that same morning, when I was on the river, a man setting up tables for Dick’s L. R. called my attention to cat that was stalking a couple of ducks*. That was a nice bit of coincidental symmetry.

*The ducks escaped a feline-induced end when the cat ran away. In case you were worried.
