Tuesday

Saturday. Lights out too early, I'm guessing, as I awoke at five and really didn't get back to sleep and so up and out the door to walk to breakfast at the usual time, arriving before the waitresses had arrived. Let myself in through the dining area door, turned on the lights and settled in with the papers.

Had the Eggs Benedict, country potatoes, fruit cup and coffee for breakfast, finishing up at a quarter to nine to set out for home, taking but one picture of a planter flower before crossing over Grand to take a picture of the theater marquee. The Grand Lake is indeed a little different than most theaters I've seen. On to snap a picture of another flower getting ready to bloom below the Lakeview school, overexposed again, of a bicycle rider at the 580 Overpass and of scooters on the sidewalk across from the Lake before getting home to take the selfie.

The South Carolina primary today. Can't say I'm not more than curious and so I'll dial in when the various news sites and programs start their coverage. That and a little golf with the Honda Classic.

Later. OK, some golf. Not a lot, but enough. Lied down for over an hour feeling tired and the hour seems to have had some effect. No thought to go out. Lots of sun, but a high in the very low sixties. This marks a month without rain, tying the 1868 record, the last time in the Bay Area that a February was completely dry, and so we're maybe/probably heading into a drought year if March doesn't come through with a storm (or two).

Evening. The results came through quickly at least, Biden showing close to receiving fifty percent of the vote against Sanders’ almost twenty. No one else is showing over fifteen percent, the percentage it takes to be awarded delegates, so it's between Biden and Sanders for South Carolina. Not happy to see Warren coming in fifth in single digits. Sanders and Warren are projected to split the California delegates at the moment, but who knows what will happen between now and Tuesday?

The photo up top was taken at the February 2016 downtown Oakland March for Bernie 2 with a Nikon D4s mounted with a 70-200mm f 2.8 VR II Nikkor lens.
