Camino La Vis, C. Santiago, Santiago Way North, Camino Carlita, East El Camino Real, Caminito Tierra, Saint James Cir., North Refugio Rd., Camino Capistrano, Camino Caballo, and North Camino Padre Isidoro, these are but a few of

Cognac 18H. That was the color of the paint in the kitchen in designer language. I had forgotten the name Cognac 18H. I had forgotten that is, until I found myself in the garage making a small mountain of things to throw away before the movers came. I was a bit irritated while I was
