All Aboard
A Letter to Three Wives is a 1949 movie that takes place on the first Saturday in May.
Their “best friend” is announcing in the letter that she is running away with one of their husbands – but she does not say which one.

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.

Ground Pattern
There are depths in man that go the length of lowest Hell, as there are heights that reach highest Heaven – for are not both Heaven and Hell made out of him, made by him, everlasting Miracle and Mystery as he is?

Kicking Back
Peace, entrepreneurial opportunity, struggling democracy, and technological superiority are what come to mind when I think of the USA.
