Myle charming this morning. Let me try half a cup of

Kong. A kind of melange of ingredients, including
squid. This evening, on the way to the library,

again to see if the Ethiopian girl was working. Had a
short, lovely little chat, & agreed to get together
during her break on Thursday to take photos

Finished the Halsey biography, while waiting for Yajing

cool evening, the fireworks blasting away through the
branches of the trees
