I love the sky.
I enjoy the mystery it brings as it changes so.
Now and again the sky will bring with it a special kind of light that glows and flows in colors no crayon box has a place for….not even the biggest box.
When I travel to work in the morning with my dear wife, Carrie, now and again we will run into a special piece of sky. We’ll see a special piece of light.
One of my favorite places to look for good light is on a bridge on road that is called “Tunnel Hill Road”. The name of the road did not change with the times thirty-some years ago when they blasted the tunnel in favor of the bridge. I suppose it should now be called “Bridge Road”. Semantics and argument aside, this is what we saw recently as the light caught the rails of the rail road track and ran with them.
The corresponding sky to the Southeast looked like this…
It was truly a sight to behold.
These visions of beauty were much better than the sights Carrie and I saw last Saturday in Bowling Green as we watched our beloved Marshall Thundering Herd lay a football sized egg and presented it to the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers as a seemingly early Christmas present. I said it in the prediction post, take the Herd out of Huntington and you have taken the Huntington out of the Herd. They play great at home and they have a good shot a stinking the place up on the road. Bowling Green was a close pin to the nose kind of game. I was relegated to taking artsy photos because I could not look at the field any longer.
This looked better than the game.
This looked better than the game.
So did this.
That is all I can stand to look at.
Carrie and I enjoyed the sight of a salad and a pizza at the Mellow Mushroom just down from the stadium. That is where we watched the second half. It was that bad.
I did not enjoy picking WKU to win. I also picked UCLA to beat USC. I picked the Cougars to wrestle the Apple Cup away from the Huskies. Washington wins. Those were my three losses for the weekend. I picked seven game correctly. In the last three weeks I have done better. 24 winners and 6 losers. This brings the season tally to a more respectable 111 winners and 44 losers. I could have done better.
That Pizza was awesome. I should have taken a picture of that.
Speak the rights!
