This is kind of fuzzy. It was taken with my little camera through a double-paned window. A very dirty double-paned window, that is. But the clouds were so pretty that I had to give it a try.

Sunrise over Wright Quad
I took this last week with my little camera, and then forgot about it.

I spent last night cleaning up alternate names in my genealogy database. If I’d RTFM, I’d’ve input them correctly the first time, but I didn’t. So now the alternate names are properly cross-indexed, and that you can look up someone by any of their names (assuming I added alternate names to that record).
This becomes important when you’re looking for people like my great grandfather, who was named Cecil but went by John. Both names now show up properly in the index.
Next, to fix the census fields so that they display properly. Aieee! That is going to be a nightmare. Along with that, occupations also need to be moved so that they no longer display as dates.
RTFM, folks!
Sunrise
Have I complained enough yet about DST? It’s finally getting to where the sunrise is at it’s most colorful juuuuust as I’m leaving for work. If I stop to watch or take a picture, I’ll be late. Like I was yesterday morning. Oops.

I actually took this on Saturday, but forgot about it, so I’m posting it today.
Today
Virga
A small storm moved through this afternoon. As it approached, you could see the wispy fringe of the leading edge rain streaking across the northwestern sky.
Yesterday
The sky was clear blue yesterday morning. In the afternoon, perfect, puffy, little clouds started to appear, marching across the sky like troops in formation. As the day wore on, the clouds got larger and puffier and denser, until there was just the occasional patch of blue showing through. As I left Staples, after (finally!) picking up ink and paper, there were crepuscular rays shining through the chinks in the clouds.

I took this as I was coming back from cat sitting last night. One thing about living here is that, when you’re driving, the view is constantly changing with every hill and curve. This is one of the few relatively flat areas along this particular stretch of road. It’s also about the only section of road with a safe place to pull over, so when I saw how dramatic the sky had become, I hoped that there’d be something interesting to see when I got there.
I happened to pull over in front of a house where roofers were working. They must have thought I’d lost my mind, because when I got out of the car and started taking pictures, they all stopped working to watch me.
[Sun drawing water is what the ancient Greeks called crepuscular rays. Not exactly how evaporation works, but it does make a certain amount of logical sense.]
