Dust the rail
Powder on the sole. Short hits. The crust tells us prow or sled.
The sequence
Dust. Wind. Match or park.
Jude watches a few swings into a tray we crust with Sierra Highway dirt, not with a mat that never met a Santa Ana.
Name the wind
Morning cold dirt or afternoon alkali. Wind edits a brave camber. Cold dirt edits a timid one.
Match
Cal files the rail to the crust, or he parks it and writes a teacher. We do not average a prow and a sled.
Refuse
A photo from a wet-climate brochure is not a load ticket. If the crust disagrees, the photo stays rust.
