What Be That Shining Orb!?!?

...yes the sun, that stubborn old fool, reared it's shiny head today not for minutes, but for hours...there was unobstructed blue sky for as far as the eye could see...well, unobstructed by clouds at least...as you can see there's a big building clearly obstructing it in the photo below...



...the lack of crappy weather enabled a nice view of the recently snow-dusted mountains on the edge of town, and what appears to be a ski slope...will certainly be investating that later on this winter...



...ok, off to do some lesson planning for me...i've got a stupidly busy week coming up...
