The birthday wishes are appreciated. Today I'm cast aside and the Doll's worshipful first born turns 50 and all attention will be directed his way. 
It was quite smoky driving to town yesterday with the smoke.
This morning the Canadian Death Air is orange and is the odor of a campfire permeates every breath you take.
Off the deck looking Southward.
THE Bridge is dense
Dining out was an adventure last evening. First pick had an hour plus wait to be seated so we went South a couple of miles to the "dive bar" the Doll and I enjoyed last week. We were seated immediately by a table of two families of loud drunks and were subject to a near hour wait to be served as there was just one waitress who also was bar keeper for the day. Oh btw "we're out of whitefish and walleye". Halfway thru the wait they ran out of blue gills, so one of our proud needed to settle for something else, perch. The Doll was happy with that. After the wait and the 'floor show' the drunk's kids were doing the splits while mom and daddy yelled and hollered.
Driving home I dodged 3 deer on the road.
Dinner was enjoyable though, really good and plentiful.
Back at home we had cake and giggles.
This am, the son's current significant other is frying up a ton of bacon and the Doll is burning waffles.
A fine time will be had by all.
Air quality is nose diving all the way to the South state line.
Have a great day all. Stay well breath easy.

Sun and heat in the UP. The kids are off on an adventure of some sort and the Doll is staying here to keep me in line.
