Wow, what a huge day for you, in more ways than one!

Love the photos of the lake! That looks absolutely stunning and another destination to add to my travel list..
One thing that I do regret, is not making it to Seattle on the Green tortoise bus when I lived and the GT in San Fran and had a free ticket anytime...Too busy in San Fran...
Oh well next trip to the USA and hopefully in 2021/2022

And wow, You know, I knew about the filetrs in aurcons in cars, becaseu my brother is a mechanic, but I never thjought about animals- other than cats'''crawling in and sleeping on the engine.

So glad you said that cause I'm actually storing a friends car in my garage on request that I actually drive it when ever I want but we've been in lockdown for months, so I can't drive it anywhere anyway.

Must check tomorrow and maybe take it for a spin around the car park...to make sure it still works!

Thanks so much for sharing that eye opening story- eye opening in 2 very different ways! 😀

Good luck with your car, the fires and every thing and stay safe!
