LOUNGE CHAIR- TOO MANY RED ANTS- A GLASS OF ICED TEA, AND RELAX WHILE
WATCHING AN EVER- CHANGING SUPER SHOW FOR FREE!! A CLEAR BLUE SKY? BORING!
AS FOR ME?? LOOK UP. IS THAT A BUNNY? AN ELEPHANT? WAIT A FEW MINUTES- MAYBE

WOW, MUST BE WINDY UP THERE. LOOK HOW THEY ARE CHANGING SHAPE. A TREE?? IS
THAT AN ANVIL WAY UP THERE? ARE THOSE CUMULUS CLOUDS GETTING DARKER? OH ME.
