LOL!!!!
Believe me - I've already started on this beer!!!
And now I'm wondering what that strange color is in the sky? Hubby claims it is blue and that is what color the sky is supposed to be....but it's been so long since I've seen it, I'm not sure if I remember!!!!

Hubby claims it is blue and that is what color the sky is supposed to be....Yeah but do you know WHY the sky is blue? Huh? Do ya? Huh? [sigh] Well if I must get into how the intensity of scattered light depends on the volume V of the scattering particles, distance r of the source from the scatterers, refractive indices n1, n2 of the scatterers and the ambient medium, wavelength l in medium n2, and the incident light's intensity Iinc... And how the scattered light intensity goes as (V^2/r^2)*l^(-4)*f(n1,n2), thus favoring the scattering of high-frequency (low-wavelength) electromagnetic radiation, resulting in the predominant scattered beam being in the blue-violet region of the visible light spectrum, which the human eye having a maximum detection efficiency at 570 nm, perceives as blue...
Daggone I didn't get enough coffee this morning. That's what I get for working when everybody else is off...

we are home now, it was pouring when we left around 10 am, but sunny here and kind of muggy.
