Sunday night I drove home from Raleigh. I left about 9:20, and as soon as I hit 40 I saw these two lights in the sky. Due to their position, I saw them all the way home. Wondered what they were.

They have to pipe the sunshine in up here on cutthroat ridge. So it's already darker than the inside of a cow. Thanks Obama.
