Hi Jane,
Got your comment in my in-box but not on my WordPress site. I know WordPress is working on it because I got an email from their support staff.

I couldn’t help to smile at Herb’s quote 🙂 but I do trust he will be surprized to find that heaven outglows San Francsisco. This must be one of the most photographed bridges in the world (if you don’t believe me jut click on yout link) but showing just the point lik an icberg you have no proof that it actually is the Golden Gate bridge 🙂
