Ah, indeed. Mind you, I became an admirer of his before I started my course, it hasn't been through studying him for any modules or anything.

Heheh Love it.
One of my favourite things that I know about Waughy baby is that his first name was Evelyn, and that was also his second wife's name as well...I bet that got confusing sometimes.

Re: picture of the day!

SNOPES says this is true

THIS IS A FIRE RAINBOW - THE RAREST OF ALL NATURALLY
OCCURRING ATMOSPHERIC PHENOMENA. THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS
MUST BE MET. CLOUDS HAVE TO BE CIRRUS, AT LEAST 20K FEET,
WITH JUST THE RIGHT DENSITY OF ICE CRYSTALS AND THE SUN MUST
HIT THE CLOUDS AT PRECISELY 58 DEGREES.

THE PICTURE WAS CAPTURED THIS WEEK ON THE IDAHO/WASHINGTON
BORDER. THIS PARTICULAR EVENT LASTED ABOUT 1 HOUR.

kinda cool, huh?

Re: picture of the day!

Now, that is lovely.... I'd really like to see one of those in nature, rather than a picture of ... along with the Aurora Borealis ... but thank you for the picture... very, very nice.

I agree...I'd love to see both "in nature!" I did see ball lighting twice, driving though....guess where?.....


TEXAS...of course! That scared the begeeus outa me...dang thing...sparking blue/white was ROLLING towards the road at a speed that made it appear it might meet up with my car! It was also rather large...speed up? slow down? I opted for speed up...way up...and beat it past the spot of meeting.
