Guesses for new set:
8. Why not China?
9. red
10. Estonia
11. 12
12. goodbye
13. South of Houston (pronounced HOUSE-ton) Ave

15. This sounds like it could be a Canadian question, where they don't have palo verde trees, but it is a tree-like plant that has green limbs, and it's name means green stick. Tall tree translates as árbol alto, but I can't make that into any kind of California city, so will go with Palo Alto (falls down dead)
16. Mamie for recovering from a stroke at a young age and Grooch who ha done every trick in the book to not get Covid and came down with it today in a different thread.
