Jane, just remember: heaven for climate, hell for company. See you there, probably! From what I can see on my computer screen, this message should go to only you and Robin. But Robin's name shows as "Robin Hanson via pbs", and maybe that means it will go to the entire list. And maybe that's why your original message was misdirected.

Hi Robin,
I just forwarded an email from Tony Avent about a 2022 symposium he's
organizing. It would be a good thing for PBS to participate in.
Well, I see "Yoli," whoever that is, just condemned me to hell, which is
no less than I expected. Probably somebody who never lived in the
country! Thank you for your words of moderation.
I'm sorry to hear about the plantar fasciitis. My brother had it once,
very painful, and it seems to be slow to heal. Can they give you
cortisone for it?
When I was editing the Rock Garden Quarterly I asked a member who is an
orthopedic surgeon if she could write an article on coping with garden
injuries, but she never got around to it. Maybe Terry Laskiewicz could
write one. She's a recently retired physician who worked for a long time
in Kaiser's Occupational Medicine rehabilitation clinic, and she has
plenty of physical challenges herself in dealing with her huge garden.
I started falling apart before I got to 70 (turning 73 this weekend),
and the first strike was a gardening injury: I was trying to hold down a
hose reel with one foot, it flipped over sideways and took my leg with
it, torn ACL, no immediate treatment (thanks, Primary Care Physician),
and since then my fibula has a tendency to dislocate and lock up my
leg. Then after buying this place I built a big tufa rock garden and
lost all the cartilage in my left shoulder. Left knee is already bone on
bone too. Now I can't prune overhead (tree service cutting back the
wisteria, $479) and have to work on the steep areas with great caution.
It's maddening not to be able to hike to see wild plants.
Best regards,
Jane
