Sun! Sun! Sun!

Young people assembled to watch the sun rise suddenly notice the sun has come into view. A woman shouts "Oh, my God!" and the group begins to chant...

A few seconds after that, they were playing The Beatles' "Here Comes the Sun."

The sun was first visible to me at 6:42:33:

I started the video at 6:43:00, a couple seconds after the "Oh, my God!" While I was out there, I believed that they'd gotten distracted talking to each other and missed the first break of the sun, but putting this post together, I'm thinking that I had a higher vantage point, so my line of sight made the sun visible slightly earlier. 

I enjoyed the congregation of young people openly expressing delight at the sun... and The Beatles.

Why? What was special about this morning?

You awoke early, as is your habit, to see the sunrise. I suppose the young’uns stayed up to see it. The end of a long night.

Usually when someone in Wisconsin yells "Oh, my God!" when they see the sun it's in terror and in February because they've forgotten what it is.

Young people being young. Were they wearing masks?

Maybe there is hope. Young people consciously gathering for the simple pleasure of sunrise. Not awaking on the beach of an all inclusive resort and noticing something that happens everyday.
Making the small effort to experience simple joy, are the memories of a well lived life. Carry on.

It’s morning in America.

Yes, that was fun but who are these young people who are up at o'dark thirty instead of sleeping off yesterday's booze? Is Wisconsin losing its pro tour level drinking culture?

Howard is posting before his meds kick in. Lucidity will come. Like our high priest told us last night. Patience.

Simon and Harrison are far superior.

Sounds like Things White People Like.

It's good that they finally got to see it in person.

Do you think people will be enjoying Hip Hop tunes 50 years from now?

And it is proven they are nice young people, too.

The Beatles' version was the best; here are the isolated vocals.

Here's the saddest version.

I overslept this morning so found out results from a zoom conference. Been in a great mood ever since, matching the mood of the other family members scattered throughout 4 time zones.

Prolly UW students rebelling from the social distancing rules likely in place for indoor and outdoor gatherings. Ann's pictures will cause the campus police to lie in wait for their next morning rendezvous.
