Timing Is Everything

We’re getting some moisture in, which on top of the late summer/early fall heat wave (it was 111°F here the other day and it’s not supposed to cool off into the 80’s until at least Thursday next week) means it’s humid and we’re getting some high, chunky clouds.

I came out for air and brief walk just a couple minutes after sunset and there was still just a touch of some spectacular sunset color right at the horizon. But everything above that was no longer illuminated and was just gray and lumpy.

The security camera confirms that just ten minutes before this, there was a lot of color in the clouds. Maybe not the best ever, but pretty good.

No way to go back, no way to get a second chance tonight, no time machine. No Tardis, not even that huge black & white spiral thingie that I was talking about the other day from “The Time Tunnel.” As they say, timing is everything in life.

Fortunately, the Sun will rise tomorrow. Presumably, so will I, and tomorrow evening there will be another chance. I’ll try to be more mindful of what’s going on outside.
