Well there was sun today. Yes, sun. Remember that large 74% hydrogen sphere with the mass of 332,950 Earths which is the source of all life of which we are aware? (Thank you, wikipedia) Well it made a brief come back for most of today. People were crawling out of their flooded basements and rubbing their eyes in disbelief. I know I was. The Concord Monitor's Mark Travis puts it more cleverly:

On Channel 9 this morning, meteorologist Josh Judge showed a graphic explaining what the sun is. (For the record, it's a bright star that shines in the daytime sky.) And at the Beanstalk store on Route 106 in Loudon, the talk at the counter was about calling 911 to report a strange object in the sky.

I'm not the only one who noticed.

Also in today's news I rode my bike to the library and renewed my card, and decided that Gatorade® tastes better when diluted with an equal amount of water. Here is the product in question:Gatorade Frost® "Glacier Freeze®" ingredients: Water, sucrose syrup, glucose-fructose syrup, citric acid, natural flavors, salt, sodium citrate, monopotassium phosphate, ester gum, blue 1.

I saw the syrup with two "-ose"es before it and wanted to water it down.

It's raining now.
