Mr. Sun was in the spotlight this week ---- well, it WAS the spotlight this week! On Monday it rose with a nice dawn pink. But by afternoon it was bursting through the skylight in a once-in-a-hundred year show off. I did sneak a quick peek but it was just as dramatic and cosmic watching on a pinhole projection. Wow...
Next day, to prove the show was over, torrential rains and tornadoes hit our region. Not as bad as Texas Harvey, but quite a show out the windshield.
After the deluge, the sun returned like a cosmic dryer. Chipmunks warmed up at the birdbath. And Momma Turkey showed her chick the local diner. Where's the rest of the brood??
The sun was glaring off the chrome at a local car show. Pastel dashboards out of the Ozzie & Harriet era. Custom rods. The Sheriff chasing General Lee! The irony of a French 2CV adorned in Canada's 150th colours. And a Ranchero that is just too darn sexy, plate-wise.
The Sun-Times is a sponsor of the annual Salmon Derby. The ancient ritual of going to the boat, trolling all night, waiting for the dawn's sun flares to go to the weigh-in tent. It's a huge event with big $$$ prizes and entertainment. This morning for example there's Gospel Elvis on stage.
So the sun is shining on this week's back-to-school time. But the creepy full moon is lurking too --- it's already Hallowe'en in the shops. Boo!
