Impression, sunrise.
Photo taken at 7:10 a.m., precisely the official sunrise time today. My window faces north, so I can't see the sun directly, but the University's heat plant, puffing out its endless plume of steam provides a softly flowing reflection of the conventional sunrise scene taking place over to my right and out of my view.

The Coca-Cola commercial and the backlash against it are great examples of mass stupidity in the discourse.
The commercial fantasizes that people all around the world everywhere are singing about America and drinking Coca-Cola. it's a neocon's wet dream and it's also stupid.
But then immediately, a movement begins online from conservatives to hate on Coca-Cola for its anti-American commercial. Because other languages bad and America damn it! Or something.
A festival of stupid. I wonder if this will fizzle out or if the hits will keep on coming.
It's nice to have the sun up right as I get to work (I see the same plumes each morning) - and nice, too, to have it still up after I get home.
"When Chekhov saw the long winter, he saw a winter bleak and dark and bereft of hope. Yet we know that winter is just another step in the cycle of life. But [living] here among the people of [Madison]and basking in the warmth of their hearths and hearts, I couldn't imagine a better fate than a long and lustrous winter."
When I first went to Althouse this morning, the sunrise picture came on the screen, then, after I scrolled down and came back, changed to Zeus in the snow, and then, when I opened it, back to the sunrise picture.
This kind of kaleidoscopic selection of pictures to go with the AA posts have been regularly happening for me lately.
What gives?
"What gives?"
Your browser?
Or you accidentally hit the photo's arrow that leads to the next photo at Flickr.
Did you see the photo with yesterday's sunset (not yet posted on the blog) or did you see one of the photos posted lower down on the blog?
Yes, this has happened since I got Windows 7 and use GoogleChrome (I think) rather than the old IE.
And it is before I have clicked on anything.
It has been older photos that comes and goes with the new posts. The new photo is going to be there too, I think reliably when I open the post to comment, but it is disconcerting that it starts with something else.
"It has been older photos…"
But is it an older photo from a previous blog post here or from the Flickr site?
Presumably from the blog. I have no idea why this would happen. Something about the way the browser reads the code, I guess, but I'm not doing anything special with code.
