Playing with Humor: When sobering events threaten to put you into a dour mood, don’t let your guard down; try to be funny (TF).

How can a *straight* line, extending itself out to reach itself, form a circle of infinite diameter? Explain.
How can a *spherical* object represent the universe? Expand the metaphor.

All Aboard
A Letter to Three Wives is a 1949 movie that takes place on the first Saturday in May.

Inner Coast Range
Flag Hill at Sunol Wilderness is a slab of ancient sea floor which, in response to pressure from below, was tilted up more on one side than the other, revealing a cross-section of its sedimentary layers.
The hill shows a vegetation pattern typical of the inner coast ranges. During summer, the hot sun dries the south-facing slope. Only grassland and soft chaparral can survive under these conditions. On the north-facing slope where moisture lasts longer, trees thrive.
Sunol is one of the most beautiful parks in the Bay Area.
