    I had the great fortune of standing with my daughter on the pier across from Fairway last night and watching the sun set in the west as these incredible clouds rolled by at the same time that lightning flashed across the darkening eastern skies from the departing storm. It looked as someone had broken a gigantic lava lamp in the heavens and then melted a box of Crayola’s over it.
