Smoke ~ Grants Pass Back to the 50's ~ Dash ~ Picture of the Day ~ Idyllwild Fire ~ Pizza Zucchini Boats ~ New Magnum PI ~ National Lasagna Day ~ National Lipstick Day ~ National Chicken Wing Day


Good 54º super smokey morning.
 
 
Yesterday we had heavy smoke but no triple digits...we warmed to 99º. 
 
 
It was "Back to the 50's" in Grants Pass. The parade of 50's cars started at 7pm. http://travelgrantspass.com/196/Back-to-the-50s
Brian said Dash was going to ride with one of Brian's friends in the parade, but apparently the guy's car broke down. Brian had gotten Dash a bow tie collar.
