Good morning Jake. What glorious photos! Isn’t it amazing what nature can accomplish given (lots of) time and raw material? Several years ago, Allen and I did a bus trip that started in St. George, Utah and visited six or seven National and State parks. We ended up at the north rim of the Grand Canyon (which was beautiful, but extremely scary to walk the narrow trails of). Anyway, it took me until the eighth decade of my life to realize how vast and majestic this country is. I’m glad you’re getting to appreciate it all sooner.😉 I’m happy you are eating and sleeping (and stretching) well. I know San Francisco will be a real treat for you.

P.S. I think the idiom you want is “belabor the point” - sorry, that’s the teacher in me rearing its ugly head. You could have been beleaguered by the punk kid who stole your headphones, but you were resourceful enough to find new ones! Love you and miss you. 💕

Thanks, Nana! I’m glad I’m getting to see it now, too :)

And thanks for the correction—I’ve felt a little stranded without Google while writing. (Are time zones capitalized? How do you spell “Moffat”?)

Love and miss you, too ❤️

Abbreviations (e.g., GMT, EDT, IST) are generally used within a national context. Full forms of time zones may be capitalized or lowercased (eastern standard time or Eastern Standard Time). When lowercased, proper nouns should still be capitalized (central European time, Pacific standard time).

Abbreviations for time zones may be enclosed in parentheses or brackets, but don’t enclose them in commas (2:30 p.m. EST). Do use commas if the time zone is spelled out (2:30 p.m., Eastern Standard Time).
