Another World Milestone!

My wife Allysen texted me this afternoon to alert me to the arrival of:


11/12/13 14:15

Did I marry the right woman, or what? 

Okay, it only works in parts of the world where dates are expressed as Mo/Da/Yr, but still.

It was kind of a strange day, meteorologically. We had snow flurries in the morning, or so I hear (I was asleep). What's strange about that is, just a few days ago I was walking around in a short-sleeve shirt. Then, this afternoon, I noticed that the sky was mostly a thick overcast, with a band of clear sky just above the northwest horizon. The demarcation between the overcast and the blue was a ruler-straight line, with no visible movement. I had a great, big-sky view of it as I drove north out of Boston on the elevated freeway.

Several hours later, it looked exactly the same. I took this picture, using the Panorama app on my phone.

The line looks curved from the fisheye effect, but in reality it was straight as an arrow shot by the Arrow. Here's a regular shot.


It was still that way at sunset, when the edge of the overcast was lit with a beautiful pink glow. Wish I'd caught that.
