It was a drive-thru Chick-fil-A sort of experience, best part of the day with little doubt. The parking lot is next to the restaurant, which is still all drive-thru and curbside pickup and so we got our food and moved off to eat. When I&#8217;d finished my spicy chicken sandwich I looked up through the sun roof and noticed this view:<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/feb21\/feb41.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>It was a mild day here, if you actually made it outside. I seldom seem able to do that. I live under fluorescent lights in a beige and dirty-cream color office with orange carpet and no windows most of the time. If I get a different view it&#8217;s under a handful of LEDs in the studio. But to get outside is nice, to get away for a few minutes is even better. And to see more fake signs of seasonal change is a delight. <\/p>\n<p>As I noted yesterday on Twitter:<\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">So desperate for a change of seasons am I that I stand under the sun above, look upon the melting snow, and feel the mercury moving its way toward 52 and pronounce it a spring-like day. <\/p>\n<p>This is sick.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Kenny Smith (@kennysmith) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kennysmith\/status\/1364255972294860801?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 23, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/center><\/p>\n<p>And the same thing applies today. So, when I was done with my work day I went up to the top of the parking deck to watch the sky whirl by. It was a pretty good choice, I think. The stratocumulus made for some dramatic views. <\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/feb21\/feb42.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>And why share one when you can share three?
