"In his domestic administration my father had this system . . . to keep a journal and insert in it all occurrences of any note . . . A record very pleasant to look at when time begins to efface the memory of events, and very well suited to get us out of perplexity: When was such and such a thing begun? When completed? What retinues came? How long did they stay? Our trips, our absences; marriages; deaths; the receipt of happy or unhappy news . . . An ancient custom, which I think it would be good to revive, each man in each man's home. And I think I am a fool to have neglected it." (Montaigne, Book I, Essay 35 (publ. 1580))

40th street trailhead

Yesterday was an incredibly beautiful day here in Phoenix.  Certainly fine for hiking, per late afternoon photo below (looking N-NW, click to enlarge).


'bout 175,000 folks, give or take a few, took advantage of the fine day out at the Phoenix Open yesterday; record-breaking crowd; included POC.
