Ginger, Karen and Jennifer attend the Memorial Day ceremony at the historic Union Cemetery in Redwood City, California. Karen's photo from an earlier visit won 3rd place in their photo contest, so she wanted to see it on display! At the end of the presentations, there was a demonstration of the way strength and quality of gun powder was traditionally tested, by lighting a sample under an anvil to see how high it was launched. The first test was a dud, but the 2nd test blew the 75 pound anvil almost as high as the windmill behind it! The blast triggered car alarms, including Sentry Mode on Ginger and Karen's Tesla Model Y, which was parked near the test. At the end of the photos is a video composed of clips recorded by the Tesla, which automatically saves the videos recorded before an alarm is triggered.
