Whither Blue Skies?

Hooray that skies are blue!  How freaky would it be to live somewhere where the sky wasn't blue?  Like Mars?  That might be cool.  For a little while.

I grew up in Texas, which has more sky than almost any state in the Union.  After a brief sojourn to West Virginia, where there didn't seem to be as much sky for some reason (mountains), I've found myself in Kentucky, where there's a lot of blue sky - when it's not snowing - or raining - or threatening to snow or rain - Texas being a bluer sky sort of place maybe because of the lessened amount of precipitation.

Could it also be that, as spring has just begun, Self Help Radio wants to celebrate the next two seasons, the ones that promise the most blue skies?

Anyway, there are plenty of songs about blue skies because maybe they're the best skies, although I am partial to starry skies & even though it means snow I like the steel-grey skies of winter.  I look out the window & the skies today are quite white, which doesn't seem quite right, but it's because the sky is a bright grey today, it being a bit rainy.  That's not a bad sky.

Maybe there are no bad skies - wait.  Tornado skies are awesome, but they're horrible.  So there are bad skies.

Not tomorrow, though!  Self Help Radio's show about blue skies will be on the air from 7 to 9am Friday on 88.1 fm in Lexington + online at wrfl dot fm.  Later, when perhaps the cloudy skies go away, it'll be at the Self Help Radio website.

Now.  I'm going to go sit somewhere & daydream about flying for a little while.
