the sun/cloud battle... (am.25.sep.11)>

it's another sunny, beautiful morning (at least it was until 5 minutes ago when some hazy funk has developed)... the low temp has been a rather comfortable 63.0F (17.2C), and the humidity stands at 77% to start the day.

although we haven't had a drop of rain in mcleod ganj and vicinity since tuesday afternoon, i am convinced that the very minute i remove even the slightest mention of isolated showers from the forecast, we'll end up getting one.!  every day, satellite indicates at least a couple of those roaming the mountains of himachal, and i still think it's just a matter of time until we catch a few drops.  but still... it is a minor thing, compared to the volume of rainfall we were receiving regularly up until just over a week ago.

the main story line continues to be the decent amounts of morning sun, yielding to a build-up of clouds and patchy fog that has seemed to peak during the late afternoon/early evening, before rapidly dissipating just after sunset.  there are no hard-and-fast rules or formulas pointing to the demise of that phenomenon... we may have to wait for the next "western disturbance" to blast through here to clean out the atmosphere once and for all...
