Thanks for taking us on the trip again. I enjoyed seeing the new places.
I would assume that avoiding or going around somewhere to avoid the bridge with the toll would be more time and fuel than the cost of the toll? I know a few years ago on one my California trips I went into San Francisco over the Golden Gate and got to pay 6 dollars for the privilege.

Remembrance Day and the minute of silence is observed on my part regardless of working or not.
