 Working in the Cinnabar mine: Linda and Cassie standing in the entrance of the San Cristobal shaft, once part of the New Almaden Mines, now a Santa Clara County park. The New Almaden Mine was the most productive California mine, and it produced mercury (aka quicksilver), not gold or silver (though mercury's main use in the 19th Century was for the gold and silver mining industries). Cinnabar, the mixture of sulfur and mercury that was used by Northern California's Ohlone Indians as a red pigment, is the ore from which mercury is extracted. Linda, Cassie and I walked 9 miles through the park's pretty chapparal and oak woodland, visiting the remaining structures from the mine's heyday, some 140 years ago. Pretty day, too...

Good friends, good fun in the City Saturday... L to R, Jacob Levy, Lucy Carrott, Linda and Terye Levy. Linda went to grade school with Terye: Lucy is the daughter of Alice (nee McCorkle) Carrott, another grade school chum. We met at Terye's coffee cart (outside Macy's at Union Square), then had dinner, with stepson John Getze and good friends Kevin and Pamela McKean at Farallon. Drinks at the Redwood Room... a full-on City evening...
