<![CDATA[Guess what I learned today?]]>Guess what I learned today?

At exactly 7:24 in the morning, the sunlight this time of year is at an angle such that it streams across a chimney roof some distance away and casts this shadow on my window. πŸ‘€πŸͺŸ

My third story window.

Please imagine the level at which my brain is (or is not) functioning at 7:24 in the morning. Then imagine my reaction.

Fortunately, this did NOT result in a load of buckshot being blasted through these mini blinds and in the general direction of a building 20 yards away. πŸ˜‚

I was happy I had parked my car under a street lamp. I don't normally get the willies from horror movies but that one got me. especially the end. the guy just standing there not moving was creepier than anything else he could've done

I still remember my "ohshitfire!" response.

I think there were only a few days a year where the angle for the sun, highway, window and passthrough from the kitchen to living room lined up correctly and I usually wasn't up that early.

I would have freaked out! That is truly amazing, and I might have called the police.

I have a big frosted window over my tub. It has that weird magnification effect if anything is backlit, like if a bird flies by, it looks like a pterodactyl flying by. I had forgotten about that when it snowed one year. Each falling snowflake appeared massive, and in different colors. It was actually marvelous, once I did a double take.
