When I left home this morning, I was planning on scouting out an interesting word or two on a wall somewhere in Levelland in order to continue the little theme week I had going.

But when I drove through this interesting weather system, I decided that the theme week was over.

There were these bands of clouds and mist and then a band of sun then another one of clouds and mist - it went on like that for several miles.  Maybe it was similar to driving through Saturn's rings?

It rained all night, and a good part of the morning, making travel on unpaved roads a sloppy proposition.
