Mountainlvr reminded me I forgot to post what a great time the car show this past weekend was! Though it did seem a bit less-organized then in years past it was a still a great show and as always the highlight was going for a cruise around the lake! Perfect day, great people, we're already looking-forward to next year's show!

12 hour round trip to my happy place Saturday. 5 hours spent with lunch, car show & activities. Overlooked the super rude people from dth, long waits, etc. just part of it on a big weekend. Drove past my old house & loved that somebody else is loving it & maintaining beautifully. Looking for the next one.

18wheeler in car pool lane eastbound o the 10 freeway going fast.

Prayers for the fireman that had to be lifted out. Can't imagine what they do for us in all this heat.

Thx SCM. Think I got that covered. On the map from X it also had a couple things on 247 that I couldn't figure what they were. Traffic between Pan Springs and Baldwin Lake Rd can't be too much worse than all around Division and North Shore today. We don't go down until Wed then Monday.

Thanks SCM! Always odd for it to go out in the middle of a beautiful day without scheduled maintenance or PSPS.
