   I’m having trouble embedding HTML in the Notes overlays on the picture, so each of them has a label corresponding to these links:

   • Rocket: This oak tree is still there, and it has an Aerotech Initiator rocket stuck high in the canopy.
   • Horse: This oak gives shade to the horses today.
   • Zebra: Halloween for horses at the Westwind Barn.
   • Hollow: where the Sleepy Hollow legend lives on.

   I was just commenting on that one… What a great comparison.

   We should sync up your next LEO flyby… I found another rocket photo from the hill at the bottom of this photo…. It would be good to catch a rocket launch from above. 😉

   So cool. Actually, I’d heard that much of the Valley was prune territory too.

   Also, abandon the next hour or so, all ye San Franciscans who enter here.
