The Mermaids and I have a week alone together for school and dentist appointments etc…as The Mommy is in ‘Transylvania’ for her Seesters college graduation…and tonight we picked up some subs and discovered a new nearby park for a picnic.
On the way home tonight, in the crispish sunny evening, I saw something I’ve never seen before; a sun dog.
It pretty much made me quit thinking about anything else except taking pictures and notifying friends and family to check it out.
It (they?) lasted for the better part of an hour – which means I had a good chance to pull out my good camera and take some pretty decent shots.

And here’s a detail shot.
Nothing earth shattering here – just the first time I’ve ever seen one.

I’m thinking about all of my co-workers streaming out the door to avoid the crush of a May Day rally downtown.
If you are a rally-er rally’s are important and good but if you are ‘only’ a commuter then what?
If you commute by car rally’s are infuriating.
If you commute by bus rally’s are huge delays.
If you live in the rally zone then rally’s might be worrisome but…
If you commute by bike rally’s are, well, amusing.
And if you commute by ‘tele’ I suppose rally’s are-n’t.
