We were lucky. The fires got better in Magnolia, and the wind was such that I never smelled a whiff. So no issues at all.
Only weirdness came during a moment of silence at 8:37 ... interrupted by a very loud and very low flying military plan. Rather eerie really.
Only moment of note during the games came from one coach who had Softball Tourrettes. He didn't randomly curse... instead he would randomly yell out bizarre softball advice that very often didn't fit the situation at all. Very often ... like nearly between every pitch regardless of whether he was batting or not. Became humorous by the middle of the 1st game we had him in ... and we got him 4 times. Perhaps the oddest was his yelling of TURN TWO!!!! while his team was batting. Did this 7 or 8 times during the day.
