I know. It was actually brought on by today's ESPoD:

These are know as crepuscular rays, and are shadows cast by the very large thunderstorms to the west of the photographer's location (in Illinois, look for the X).
One of my favorite albums is also called "Eight Crepuscular Tracks". Love that word.

My alarm goes off at 4am, dark is normal. But getting home at 3pm on an overcast day, knowing it will be dark in less than an hour, is a drag.

The worst thing about daylight savings is driving to work, directly into the Sun, when the Sun finally gets high enough for the sunvisors to help, they change the clocks and I've got to do it all over again.
