Sundog

This is a sundog we spotted just south of Casa Grande a few weeks ago. A sundog is an illusion created by sunlight shining on ice crystals high in the atmosphere. They always occur 22.5° from the sun. Sometimes they occur to the right and left simultaneously, and I've even seen them forming a complete circle around the sun. I love sundogs!

What a fun day this was! I did Wii for an hour and then did it with Jack for another 20 minutes or so. A shower, breakfast, and off to play practice! Practice went on for about 4 hours, with us going through both acts.

Jack and I went to the costume shop to look for a moustache for him and then to Fry's for some vegetables and milk. Jack worked on supper and I picked up and cleaned up a bit, before our friends arrived.

The food was splendid -- raw veggies with dip, bread with herbed oil, baby back ribs on the rotisserie, grilled potato halves, grilled onions, and grilled asparagus. Lemon bars were a delicious finish. Then we played Phase 10, talked, and laughed a lot!
