Magnificent sky this evening! A small monsoon storm (thunder, lightning, ten minutes rain, double rainbow) was on its way out, and the sunset was hitting the remaining clouds. This morning's walk was all clear and blue; this evening's much more startling. Just as well, since it was another day at our desks (Alice copy-editing; me still going back and forth with our administrator over revisions to the Graduate Handbook: let's just say that it's unreasonable to expect a sudden and arduous piece of work - which involves amalgamating our own department handbook with the university one - in July. To put that in perspective: turning 27 well-crafted pages into 61 cumbersome and legalistic ones (to be shared with faculty after the weekend, but there's so much mandatory language there's precious little room for any wiggle room). No wonder I was grateful for some mild sublimity in the form of these clouds.
