The Lemon Twigs: "Small Victories"

Morning, all. We got back from a long weekend far from TV, phones, and internet. It was restful. Fortunately we were southeast of the Delta fire (north of Redding) and mostly away from the smoke. On the other hand, the drive home was very smoky because of that fire and another one that started over the weekend in Napa County. Sigh.
I-5 is still closed north of Redding, with a very long, slow detour around the fire due to a lack of other roads up there. It did make traffic pretty light coming back home yesterday because there is no route for trucks around the fire. As I said, we weren’t directly affected, but my brother and sister-in-law are headed up to Oregon today. I’m glad it’s not me. I’m sure they’re trying to get I-5 open again ASAP (see the part about no way for trucks to get through) but the area hadn’t burned in over a century, so there’s lots of fuel.

On the good side, we had a lovely time with the kids and their significant others.

And how old am I without numbers (or dates, or whatever it was?) Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary summited Everest.
