Pre-commute an eery glowing yellow suffused through the curtains pulled me outside for a look. Looking at the sky really didn't help me figure out the sky, however. A photograph gives part of the picture, but doesn't capture the way that EVERYTHING was glowing yellow from the light.

Later on, the NWS issued a High Wind Advisory, including dust storm warnings and the notice that small unanchored objects could be blown around. I wondered if a bicycle commuter qualifies as a small unachored object. The sky at the end of the day was also notably odd, with the sun pasted in the sky like a wafer. Check it out, I believe it's from the dust lofted into the atmosphere by the Pacific storm that was blowing in.

Did you never see Miss Gulch in "The Wizard of Oz?" Of COURSE bikes and their riders are small unanchored objects!

ReplyDeleteah, Miss Gulch, what was with her, anyway? A week in Hawaii would have done wonders for her. She needed to throw in more C in her A to B.
ReplyDeletesteven, sunset immersion is recommended for all humans on a regular basis.
