Announcement:  Thanks to everyone who took advantage of the "selfie" omit and sent me their picture outside enjoying the sun and listening to the Herbert Hoover podcast. It was great to see all of your faces!  I put a collage together with thumbnails of early submissions and posted it to my Twitter feed. I apologize for not getting your permission before I made it available on social media. The tweet has been deleted and in the future, if I do plan on using any of your pictures to share a little sunshine, I will explicitly request your permission. #teachablemoment
