Suggested Highway Sign: ‘Camels Use Bicycle Lane Only’

A relative in Hawaii sent an e-mail in November with the subject: “Here’s Something for Your Blog. Only in Philadelphia!”

The e-mail contained a short video clip of a camel by the side of the road in a snowstorm near Philly.

No need to explain. Unless you were visiting Azerbaijan at the time, you saw the clip on TV or social media and know the amusing story.

It happened on November 15. 
Here are two questions about the inconsequential camel story, and two questions about important news stories on that date.  
Try the quiz. Answers below:

1 – The camel had a name. What was his name? On what highway was the
camel stranded?

2 – Two huge wildfires were blazing in California. Name one of the fires. In
what state were they recounting votes for a U.S. Senate seat?


ANSWERS:

1 - The camel’s name was Einstein and he was seen on Rout 309.
2 – The two large California wildfires were the Camp fire and Woolsey fire. The Senate recount in progress was in Florida.
