Three weeks of clouds and illness. I was looking forward to tonight for most of the week as it was expected to be clear. This morning I woke up with an awful sinus infection. As night approached and I began to get restless, my wife encouraged me to stuff tissue in my nostrils and go out anyway. I took her advice; it's not like the neighbors will see me in the dark anyway!

Another beautiful orange color. This one has a little more red in it than the last. Found directly west of Elnath.
