You can't see that from here

Three Thanksgivings ago, Fran and I were driving Jon and Stephanie to Taormina, for one night there before they flew on to Berlin from Catania. As we drove from Agrigento to Caltanesetta, Jon said that he thought he saw Etna. I told him I thought he was probably wrong, because one could not see Etna from there, indeed, one needed a very clear day to see Etna even from Enna. I told him we might be able to see it once we were beyond Caltanesetta, or beyond Enna. Jon accepted this like Gospel.

Last Thanksgiving, I was taking the same route as I drove toward Nicolosi to spend Thanksgiving with friends. I looked to the right as I passed the spot where Jon imagined he had seen Etna. Here is a public apology to you Jon, I was wrong, and you most likely were right. Good eyes.
