Not to be picky ('cause it's just not in my nature to do so) but as a
former Flyboy, wouldn't you maybe recognize the difference between
"altitude" and "elevation?"

Isn't your home at a higher elevation, not altitude, since elevation
is the term usuually used to describe the altitude of a place above
sea level? Like when planes fly at an altitude of 25,000 feet so they
don't run into the mountains below whose elevation is 20,000 feet.
Perhaps a small point of order but knowing how close to perfection you
seem to yearn, I thought it relevant.

I have a fishing bobber the size of a quarter you can borrow if you can't stay afloat.
