"I dropped my daughter off this morning at the train for New York," says a friendly neighbor. She waves at Dawn Patrol, hands gauntleted in gigantic garden gloves for early yard work. "She's going to UC/Davis soon!" At Starbucks, awaiting iced coffee, we meet another neighbor with his daughter, getting caffeinated before her first day on her first job. K2 recalls when their kids played together, back in kindergarten. Tempus fugit!

"Kinda amazing that mere animals can do all this," Roadkill muses, as Dawn Patrol admires attractive new mansions springing up like mushrooms. We set stretch goals during hill climbs and discuss potential fall marathons. It's a lovely-brisk morning, lilies and hydrangeas in bloom. A speedy bunny dashes along Earnestine Street and dives through the hole under a fence. Pink flamingos migrate to cluster along a hedge.
