I saw beautiful overcast skies today. Not a slate, even color, but dozens of solid shades of gray, with sharp fractal boundaries between them, each distinct and quite visible. A tortoiseshell sky recorded on black and white film.
I opened my 4 dollar umbrella (that I bought from a streetside vendor when I lost my pricier one a month or so ago) because I we feeling raindrops – but it didn't really rain as I walked to work. I noticed on the umbrella there was written: "it's a rainy day. " Clever.
I feel moody today.
