The morning started out dark, hazy, sparse clouds, light breeze and cold – 44 degrees F.

The autonomous car company had their facility and flood lights turned on, and they were testing their vehicles. Rabbits were grazing on the soccer and baseball fields, Labrona and family were grazing on the soccer field too. Some birds were waiting for their food and feasted on food discarded by the inmates after breakfast and they foraged in the fields. I walked the trails on the soccer and baseball fields. As the sun rise over the Sierras, it illuminated the Sierras, it changed colors as it ascended through the haze: red, orange, yellow and bright yellow.
