I'm glad things are getting better for Mrs. B! Did you have any smoke issues? I'm glad you could find easy places to hike! Those are the only places I can hike any more.

Up here in northern Oregon, we're getting enough rain to lay the dust a little and wash the smoke out of the air, but no fire-season ending events yet.

I presume you've tried cleaning the camera lens? One of those things that might work when all else fails!
