[Vision2020] Reddest full-circle sun at sunrise

[Kenneth Marcy]

This morning, Friday, 10 August 2018, presented the reddest (orange)
colored full-circle solar orb on the eastern Moscow, Idaho, horizon that
I can remember seeing here.  The circle was sharp, with no corona, but
became less clear, but larger in diameter, as it rose above the eastern
horizon.

Weather Underground says the local temperature is 77 Fahrenheit (up from
a low of 64), and is predicted to reach 104 degrees today.

32 percent humidity, no wind, and high ultraviolet radiation levels
suggest sun protective cautions for those outside.

The only fire smoke hazards west of Moscow, Idaho, at the moment appear
to be between Richland and Yakima, Washington.  Here's a link to a smoke
map:

You're excused from mowing the lawn today.

A little hot coffee, followed by chilled water, will precede the first
early-arrived novel for the fall semester.

Cheers.
