Last Night, Went to the Napa "Lighted Arts Festival" https://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/napa/napa-lighted-art-festival-downtown/ Where we walked around downtown Napa in the cold and dark and light drizzle, seeing art that looked best in the dark, but don't left me put you off. Here are some of my pictures to give you an idea - the Press Democrat photographer arguably did a better job. But I did manage to capture the projection art (arguably the highlight) so you can see it of you don't make it tonight ( the last night of the projection art) It certainly manage to a attract people to downtown Napa, both the local families, the Napa Lifestyle Destination Dining crowd, and us. Afterwards we enoyed a Lamburger, fries, beet salad, local beer and usual (not shown). The new Costco was closed by the time we arrived. so another time. No opening bargains for us.

But at least it was an old school organic fire, rather than a high tech lithium ion fire.

^ So A.I. not ready to replace doctors just yet, or possibly last week? But beats being bored at Al's as far as a teen is concerned, as anything but boring? Interesting times.

Thanks for all the meme-y, AI, and plain old fashioned birthday wishes. Sufficient, albeit, non commemorative, Usuals. Curiously Bacon free, but that will be remedied before too long. And a pro tip if you want to feel younger. Surround yourself (inadvertently) with significantly older people. Why I feel younger already. An I.M Pei designed building helps. If you want to feel older, just try giving an uncooperative cat a series of antibiotic pills.

"One of the Best Burgers in Marin" No Bacon (which would explain. It's ranking), but it was nearby, and after the trauma of having to get an unwilling cat to take an antibiotic pill, it hit the spot.

No ensnarement, just a pivot from the intended "easy" lemon chicken, when skin on boneless chicken breasts proved problematic to source at short notice - "just ask your butcher" - thanks Ina!

Now this.

This.
