Never seen a sun dog. In an earlier show, a sun spiral was mentioned.

For that atmospheric lensing into three Suns, the air has to be full of ice crystals at a temperature where it's too cold to snow, due to zero possible evaporation.

It's true, Larry. We've all been having a pretty unpleasant time. Did Kris get to do his show on Tues.? I didn't get to listen. I was without power for 48 hours and made it to a friend's house. I was able to come back home yesterday with power back on

When I lived in West Texas, a stretch of just a couple weeks of below-freezing temps, not nearly as severe as the current conditions, led to pipes a' burstin' all over town. New phenomenon for someone from northeast.

That Steve Marcus LP also features 'Half a Heart', the song that the sax line from Baker Street is stolen from.
Avatar 4:42pm

Because of its trippiness, I sometimes misrecollect and think TNK is on Sgt. Pepper. And then correct self, "No...Within You Without You is the Pepper trippy track," or at least differently trippy from the others. The 801 version is a good one!
Avatar 4:44pm
TDK60:

I was talking with DJ Bob Brainen a few weeks back about how the Byrds' Mr Tambourine Man threw me off, could only daydream in class for a week. TNK did the same. || I'm more a Revolver guy than a Pepper. But Beatles 65 is the best. Hoo!)
