Airport fun
... more people on roofs. More people on high bridges. Bridges don't have aircon units as far as I was aware. Traffic bad, lots of people stood on the side of the roads and roofs etc.. Odd.

What is Lost
I've fortunately made a great friend, and Bree is also a perfect hiking partner. She, like me, is also dismayed at the number of California State Parks set to close in the next year.
