Now I've gotta find a venue for Saturday on relatively short notice......

Churchill seems the obvious choice, if it's not closed down which apparently has not happened or surely we would know at this late date.

Talking about California makes me think about my adventurous nephew. He has climbed a mountain out there in Yosemite called El Capitan. I say climbed, but that may not be entirely true. He attempted to climb it and fell and subsequently had to be evacuated by helicopter to a hospital. Survived that, but I am not sure he will ever completely recover. Still does adventurous things. At the moment he and a friend are attempting to walk across Arizona from West to East. I have driven that route several times, but if someone said I would have to walk it, I would say just shoot me now.
