Day of the Swan, 2nd of Midsommar, 526 M.E. (Deneb): The weather's been dry but cool. That front that came through late last week and woke me up but didn't produce any rain at least produced some pleasant temperatures. Even if we are heading into a Super El Nino and already setting records for global high temperatures, today, this moment, right now, is cool (70°), dry, and sunny.  

I walked a 9.3-mile Harrison today. I had my headphones on and listed to the better part of three LPs by Fire! Orchestra while walking, but it was the kind of day that an old Beatles song gets stuck in your head: "The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful, and so are you, dear Prudence, won't you come out to play?" Also, 

The wind is low, the birds will sing

That you are part of everything

Dear Prudence, won't you open up your eyes?

I was 14 when The White Album came out. I got it that year for Christmas and memorized every lyric to every song by singing along. I've long since stopped listening to The Beatles or even thinking about their songs, until, of course, a day like today.  

The world might be an overheated rotten mess, but today was a lovely day.
