It was just a gorgeous day yesterday here in Sacramento:

Went up north last week. Going back south yesterday, 65 was in periodic parking lot mode it was so packed. One stretch of almost a half hour in a crawl stop crawl situation found me behind this.

You’ve just reminded me of the worst traffic jam I’ve ever been in - heading back from Vegas to San Diego on a Sunday night along with about half of South California. Bumper to bumper for hours. The only other one that came close was the queue to get into Glastonbury festival one year but that doesn’t count as my Irish friend Valerie kept jumping out of her car in front and delivering freshly mixed gin and tonics (I wasn’t driving and nor was she). Gotta love a road trip!
 
On our way to the ice cream shop. I used to live in an old “close” (Scots for alley) like this when I first moved to Edinburgh.

The arches would have been for horses and carriages so I’m guessing that there was once an inn and stables here. There was a big brewery just a couple of hundred yards away which is where the Scottish Parliament now sits. Now, now, no jokes about drunken Scotsmen.
