All in one swell foop. (…fell swoop.) “To do something in one fell swoop is to do it suddenly or in a single, swift action. Fell here is an adjective meaning fierce, savage, cruel, or ruthless.1 This sense of fell is otherwise archaic, preserved mainly in this idiom. The swoop in one fell swoop is a noun referring to (1) a blow or stroke or (2), metaphorically, a bird’s sudden, sweeping descent from a height.” [Grammarist.com]
Per Wikipedia:
“The geology of the Grand Teton area consists of some of the oldest rocks and one of the youngest mountain ranges in North America. The Teton Range, partly located in Grand Teton National Park, started to grow some 9 million years ago.”
“The 2.5 billion year old metamorphic rocks that make up the east face of the Tetons are marine in origin and include some volcanic deposits.”
Old and new. Check.
Rental canoe borrowed. Check.
Sky. Blue. Check.
I rest my case. “…said when you believe that something that has just happened or been said proves that you are right or telling the truth…” [Cambridge Dictionary]
Peace, love, and understanding.
Enjoy.
Haha, I love the part about “Rental canoe borrowed”. You nailed it 🙂

Very nice – and typically scholarly. Being archaic, Alie and I have been known to do something in “one fell swoop” but never thought to look up the derivation of the words. In the meantime, young people [and many older] just look at us blankly. Thanks for the explanation of fell. I rest my case – yes, I was also a member of the bar.
