A spokesman for Fish and Wildlife said it was likely a young lion who had lost its mother and was trying to find its way. (Daily Sacramento News)SMF was a mess again on Tuesday as Southwest Airlines delayed and canceled flights due to system issues for the second day in a row.

(6 pm) Sacramento Notebook If you want to party like you've never partied before... try a stargazing party! You'll need to drive down to Stockton this Saturday night to do it, but it looks like it would be well worth it to get a look at galaxies you've never seen before with this group of hard core enthusiasts. No more masks for Mickey! If you're headed to Disneyland to celebrate the state reopening, you can leave your mask at home if you are fully vaccinated. That's the good news. The bad news is that there are no more capacity restrictions, so lines will return to normal. Tickets to see Henry Cho at the Crest Theater go on sale today. Cho has a long list of credits including hosting Friday Night Videos on NBC and appearing on the Tonight Show and the Late, Late, Show. You're all caught up on the day's happenings in SacTown!
