Walking tour to see the collection at the school.

1200+ trees, 200 of them beeches.

Then visited Ralph and Tom’s old digs and the arboretum they planted at their previous condo

Oakland and other places have fine wall art. Here, rural, with lovely trees, marsh, streams and of course the bay.

Many fine woodcuts.

The plan was to see the Irving Penn ( de Young) exhibit and a Japanese print exhibit at the legion of honor

The first part of the plan worked perfectly the second part of total failure as the Japanese prints do not open them until April 6

No credit card taken, no paddles for auctioning or giving money.

Not a young crowd, so we fit right in.

Event is at the four seasons Hotel. Donor event.

Mostly, except for my question, employees saying how much they love the new mission of sutter and the new ceo.

Lazy Sunday morning followed by a fine brunch chez M&G and walk in the nearby Biltmore area.

This is urban Phoenix. Just a few minutes from the tower.

Visit to the Mim, musical instrument, museum, and then a fabulous dinner at a restaurant done by Nobuo Fukuda. He is pictured in the last panel.

This is his fourth restaurant, we have only been to three of them

-This is a chistian nation which trumps the constitution

-You believe that violence is justified after years of getting nowhere

-Christians are being persecuted

-Iowa backs losers they believe in, Hucklebee, then Santorum, then Cruz

-G’mnt is telling me what to do and not do, taking my liberty
wear masks
marry queers
make their cakes
taking away my guns
keeping me from grazing my cattle

-2020 was stolen 

-Border is open to those changing the country from the way it was

-We keep fighting overseas to little purpose ignoring our problems

-DEI programs:schools teaching values other than what you want for your kids

-going after 45 and his 91 counts is political; the elites after our guy

-Deep state cause of Vietnam, civil rights, 2008 recession,…

You may well believe you need a strongman to take your country back

After first post, this from the Economist

From the Economist

-Mention Lina Khan, who oversees the Federal Trade Commission (the antitrust police),

-or Gary Gensler, who leads the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Wall Street police),

-and they inhale sharply. Mr Biden wants to raise taxes on companies.

-His administration also wants to go ahead with the Basel III “Endgame” regulations, which oblige big banks to hold perhaps 20% more capital on their balance-sheets,

-sedating animal spirits and damaging profitability

Lovely evening. Good to see Sarah and Julie

Sleep restored; ELT to be assured

“Mainstream media is playing into Trump’s neo-fascist hands. I’m sticking with democracy and the Guardian

Robert Reich”

Model breakfast again. More French breakfast this time for QB. Does not want to overeat as big dinner tonight and s bit too much of eyes bigger than stomach yesterday.

Downtown Napa trip getting lost by putting in the wrong location into Google maps

Looked up the population of Oakville and Rutherford towns of population, 74 and 100 as of 2020.

Tea break at the gas station. By law, then not allowed to take electronic tips here because they are a gas station. Another Nanny state rule?

Raspberries from the supermarket, a nap, and a hot tub rounded out the afternoon

Pre-fixe dinner at hotel

Then the food pics
