Watching the Sunset
Because the mountains to the west of here (I guess you'd call them the Rocky Mountains) cut off most of the flat, colorful rays when the sun is low on the horizon, we don't often get beautiful sunsets. Yesterday was different. Out of the bland grey-blue banks of rainclouds, red and gold clouds boiled up, flanked by dark veils of virga (rain that never reaches the ground) with lightning. It was very beautiful. No intelligent man can watch the sunset for longer than 15 minutes, I read once, (though I can't recall, or find, who wrote it). I watched it for about 6 minutes. I don't know where that puts me on the intelligence scale.

I'd had to look up the spelling so I thought it was not really common knowledge. Sorry if that was an insult.
