Lovely thunderstorms today. Now, before I quite forget, I witnessed a very strange meteorological phenomenon last week. I scarcely know how to describe it. It was just on noon, mid-way between the sun and the southern horizon in the the sky: a big oblongish shimmering horizontal rainbow/window through which clouds passed and changed colors. I was not alone witnessing it, and several of the people I was with were taking pictures of it, as it hung there for an incredibly long time, maybe twenty or twenty-five minutes--whatever it was. "Sun Dog," as defined in the Wikipedia it was not; or if it was, it was the only sun dog ever observed at midday in high summer.
