There Outta Be a Law

As is normal, last weekend the weather was "bleah", with clouds and a couple of sprinkles. The week was trending that way, too.

But today is gorgeous. Perfect. Ideal. Scattered clouds just to break up the sunshine. Sea breeze to keep you cool. It doesn't even feel hot, because the humidity is unusually low.

That low humidity has broken up the haze that typically surrounds the island. The base is on a hilltop, but normally the horizon is murky. Today, you can see the other islands in the Ryukuan chain that are normally lost in the sauce. Ships passing in the distance. Birds soaring.

And not only am I working, I've been doing paperwork, inside our windowless office. I got to spend a half hour outside for the FOD walkdown at 0715, but you have to stare at the ground during that. The only other times I've been close to seeing the glorious weather is spending a half hour inside a Cobra cockpit parked inside the hanger, and the drive home to lunch, where I am now. Most frustrating. I want to go to the beach- and I don't even like the beach!
