Musings

On this day in 2019, we watched this magnificent sunset in Oahu. Wasn’t as hot as here in ATL, but probably about as humid.

I called this image grasslight. It has nothing to do with gaslight, or the verb created from the 1944 psychological thriller movie title.

This phrase does not sound good for any citizen: superseding indictment. Or it could have to do with a new type of sunscreen chemistry.

Sometimes a flower and a shaft of sunlight approach perfection. Ignore the heat and humidity.

I reached back in the photo archives and grabbed this from a mall visit in 2015. Also, the archives reminded me that on this day last year, we returned from Quito.

When the sky darkens at 6:20 in the evening in the summer, get worried. That’s how I look at it. And the darkening preceded a storm front, as you might expect. The front came through with blasts of wind, and kept going, with the wind fading, then some rain, then ho-hum.

And I exhaled. All is well again.

The predicted overnight rain never materialized, but the air shifted and the AQ improved…so I went for a wee walk, returning before seven (!), because hot. humid.

Plenty of neighborhood water systems nevertheless kicked on…in this case weighing down these limp grasses. Are they grasses? They look like it.

Air Quality was poor today, with high haze. I stayed inside and felt…a bit guilty…but healthy (hah!). A storm’s supposed to come through tonight and into the morning, and disperse the haze.

I have a short-term perspective on this. Exercise tomorrow? Wait and see….

An hour after I made yesterday’s post, our power went out, then we had a fierce storm that didn’t last terribly long…thunder, lightning, rain. The power was out for about nine hours, but thankfully back on in time for coffee-making. By sunrise, it was all clear and sparkly out, although some of the now-tall grasses were wet and lodged. They perked up after the sun and wind dried them, and I managed to pull off two sessions with The Beast.
