Warmer still, though cool in the shade. Surgery scheduled for the next day, I went for a brisk walk up Mt. Toby with a few friends. Tomorrow I'd be blissed out on benzos and fentanyl while a human mechanic put me under the scalpel, gave me a tune up and removed some superfluous material (totally benign, subcutaneous lipomas) from my arm, back, and right buttock. A good hike.
