Last evening's sunset was spectacular. It began with some dark clouds in the west and then came multiple rays of cyan shooting from the cloud tops across the darker blue sky. Next was the orange, fringed with yellows and reds. Cloud tops turned from dazzling white to orange in just minutes as the sun dropped lower toward the horizon and the rays disappeared as the oranges became brighter. Colors and shades played across the sky from zenith to western horizon, before slowly fading into dusk. Did I get any good photos of these sublime happenings? No; not a one. Why? I didn't want to leave the show for a moment to walk the 30 feet to get my camera.

John McCain says we are doing so well in Iraq that we need to use the same strategies in Afghanistan. Woof!
W says the US financial system is "basically sound". Arf Arf Arf!
W's Fed chairman says the economy is "fragile". Woof Arf!
We're going to the dogs! Sorry about that, dogs!

Got a little bit of writing accomplished today. On one story, I have a beginning and a fairly decent end, and some of the body is finished except for editing. It is very difficult to get anything going when there is porch sitting to be done. Squirrels demand attention, birds sing, and the sun shines. Sometimes even an old curmudgeon like myself gets a bit of enjoyment that brings a smile.
