Anyone see this?

Glad it's just remnants. Was a tad alarmed at first that I'd somehow teleported well beyond the span/age of Mark Twain's birth/death relationship with it.

Cloudy/bad weather conditions, so may not have mattered that we had an oblivious passage through it over the weekend.

That's a mysterious story, when you think about it. What are the odds?

It was an on and off rainy weekend here, as well...but still, I was sad to know I had forgotten the date.
