Disaster
“The 1806 year end population at Mission Santa Clara that is listed in the annual report is less by 72 people than the same population as determined by subtracting the death entries for the year from the 1805 year-end population (Bowman 1958:147). Scores of deaths [from the Measles epidemic] were noted in the Libro de Difuntos for late March
, late April, and early May. Yet no deaths at all were listed at Mission Santa Clara for the two-week period between April 1 and April 15. The priests may have failed to record seventy-two deaths that occurred during that two-week period, because of the stress resulting from the disaster.” —Randall Milliken, “A Time of Little Choice: The Disintegration of Tribal Culture in the San Francisco Bay Area 1769-1810”

Ghost Sighting
Saw a ghost saturday morning. NE corner of Winfield and Almaden Expressway. Just some steam, like rises off of the reservoir across the street. But there was no steam rising off of anything that morning, except for the traffic island on the NE corner of Winfield and Almaden Expressway.
I think it was waiting for the walk sign. Force of habit.
Recommendations

“Be a shame, there was a fire…”
“It existed from 1853 until 1964, when the last of the residents were forced out to make way for an industrial park, with such parks dominating the area to this day. During the time the residents fought removal under eminent domain statutes, many of the buildings were destroyed by acts of arson.”
