Don't look now, but there's a humongous bright round thing up in the air. Some strange blue patches are visible up there, too, in place of the layer of grey clouds that we've seen for freakin' DAYS ON END. I notice a distinct shortage of water falling out of the sky, and a lack of puddles all over the ground as well. Very odd. It's all very unfamiliar.

UFO reports are going out to the Department of Homeland Security even as I type, I'm sure. Someone will have to figure out what that big bright thing is.
