Morning: Cousin Margaret Gist as Author; 2 Parasurfers; 1 California Condor

Maybe I should round the afternoon off with SMILES OF A SUMMER NIGHT to keep in the mood of the morning. First, Double-Cousin Margaret Adams Gist (double because the Scots believed in keeping the blood lines pure) as author of big articles in 1930 on the "South Fork Boys" and on the work of the women of her "Kings Mountain Daughters" association. She must have known that Robert Ewart (brother of Margaret Ewart Adams) and his son and sons-in-law made up almost a tenth of the 60-odd South Fork Boys at King's Mountain.

The to the beach in a fierce South Wind (unusual) and 2 reckless Parasurfers covering miles of the water from the Rock toward Cayucos and back.

Home. Scalini demanded out on the south battlement (where the oat crop is) so I propped the door open for her and went out to check her water supply.  Biggest damn buzz---NO--

A California Condor, checking out the Rock, swooping back--oh mighty wing span--gliding very high over the hill toward Cayucos and Big Sur.
