It's Monday morning. Pouring. Now 6am. Coffee is very hot and since the economy has improved greatly, we have elected to turn the thermostat back to 50 for the remainder of the spring and just tough it out. I was tough 50 years ago.

But the grey ocean is going to be dark dark sky and very soon. What did the ancients think on mornings like this?
