The news says many people are stressing over this election. My suggestion for "election stress" is to work on something you can do to help yourself, your family, and your community. If you do it right you'll be too tired for election stress.

Friend Jeff Shaikh Takes His Family To Yosemite And Brings Me Back A Photo. Jeff is also a neighbor, trusted internet guru, and now string photographer, thanks for allowing me to share it. As a regular visitor at the park, he reports low water and low visitor count this year. I guess that's why we don't see any people in this photo from Sentinel Bridge.

Enjoy Picking Fruit or a Fruit Stand in Brentwood.

I've experienced every type of 4th OF JULY CELEBRATION there is except this one. No parade, no fireworks, and no BBQ to attend this year. I'll miss the parade and hope for one on Veterans Day. I can still enjoy the official "day-off," drink a few beers and eat BBQ but it's different this year. It's just going to be the quietest 4th of July in my lifetime. This year is, as-they-say, unprecedented and I hope it stays that way.

Restaurant service is always a challenge and it's especially difficult now. Restaurants didn't plan to serve their food in a box or on a patio with a mask.

Dining and live music on the streets of Danville at Bridges Restaurant and Vine & Spirits, Friday & Saturday 5:30 PM - 9:00 PM.

A few guidelines to assure you a fine "Al Fresco" dining experience. (1) Make a RESERVATION to get the time you want with limited waiting; (2) a SMALL GROUP four or less no regrouping of tables allowed; (3) order food to get COCKTAILS; (4) A MASK IS REQUIRED to enter and leave the patio area. (5 ) All tables to be sanitized after each use.

As restaurants, open patios today be thankful and understanding with others. Remember it's a whole new world out there, for you, and everyone else. New rules take time to learn and master. Have fun, be safe, and be nice!
