This morning, as I passed by the front door of ASCO with my ice and water filled mug, I noticed the sunrise was very vivid. While I stood and watched, the Plant Manager walked up to me on the way to his office and asked what was up. I pointed to the sky and said, “Nice sunrise. You’re the Grand Poobah, announce on the PA system for everyone to stop work and report to the front lawn to watch this.” He paused a second, as if thinking about the possible ramifications, and replied, “I wish I could.”
Our crowd of two attracted the attention of the Resident Engineer who came over to see what we were seeing. He knew I take pictures as an affliction, so he asked where my camera was. It was in the front of my lunch bag, I told him so, followed by, “See ya.” I went back to my desk, grabbed the camera and went out to the side door to snap a couple images. Across the street was the, now quiet, Western Carolina State Fair with an orange sky as a backdrop.
Let me apologize to the legion of Goonie fans out there, the title to this post is where I hit the eject button on the DVD of “The Goonies” tonight.
Miata Top Transitions since 01/01/06: 432
Love your website. I’ve read much of your writing and I also enjoy your pictures. Linda and I wanted a Garnet-Red but got into the Miata too late to get one. We have a 2004 Pure White. It makes perfect picture exposure a little more challenging. We have no website as of yet.
In addition I would like to say that Linda drew my attention to the same sunrise before I sent her off to work on my day off.
Thanks for the compliments. You are right, white looks great in person, but cameras have a hard time capturing it. A white Miata almost begs for two wide stripes though. The good thing about it too is nearly any color stripe would work…
