   If that is a view from your place, I envy your night sky. I haven’t had a good, warm night yet, where I could whip out my Smith-Cassegrain 70mm. It’s not how big it is; it’s how you use it, I’m told.

   I hate it when I have my hand raised and you don’t call on me and then dismiss class. :(

   Wow, that’s gorgeous.

   We were working on the partly cloudy division for a while but seem to moving into the full cloud, no discernible sunset division at the moment.

   I’m glad you post these. The Puget Sound is a wonderful place but is not known as a contender in the neat sunset collection

   I might get to see a flat Ohio sunset on Friday –I don’t know if it will be clear. We’re starting out from Pittsburgh around 1 pm. I think it will be getting near sunset when we arrive at our destination.

   You and my father must have the same whatever-it-is that makes one take pictures of the sunset over and over again. I like ‘em. I just don’t have the photo gene.

   That’s purty. I live too close to the mountains to enjoy sunsets. It’s a decent trade-off.

   Ha! That’s so much nicer than my sunset tonight.

   Did you take that with the camera on your phone? The static image on my screen makes me want to take a deep breath and sigh out all the mental BS I’ve seemingly accumulated today.

    Yeah I got a question, can you prove that’s not a sunrise?

    I keep forgetting how weirdly flat most of the country is. 20-some years in West Virginia, then the rest in New Hampshire does leave one with a skewed perspective. I can’t even quite tell how far away those buildings are.

    The secret is to keep nuking Indiana. The land between the Scalzi Compound in western Ohio and Indianapolis is a barren waste with the occasional mutated groundhog as a result of John’s photographic “experiments.”

    Re #11 John Murphy: As a native-born WV person I feel that it is natural to have to look up to see the horizon and to have direct sunlight only at noon.

    Mark Evans@12:

    I’m pretty sure that direct sunlight is harmful. Getting an unobstructed view of a giant unlicensed fusion reactor just seems like a bad idea.
