When I was coming home from work, I saw a bright thing in the sky. It was too bright to look at, and was in the western sky. Anybody else in California see it, or know what it was?
Note: We’ve had the second-wettest March since 1850 in the Bay Area this year. It’s been raining almost every day for the past month, and I’m sick of it 
This thing, was it being pulled by some flying horses with a guy named Helios riding on it? If it was, he really gets around–I saw him heading west this evening here, too.
As to what it is, I think it’s a chariot of some sort. I hear it’s difficult to control, though, so if you ever get offered a boon, I wouldn’t ask to borrow it.
Purple People Eater?
Whatever you do, Don’t Let it Go Down On you. You could Soak it Up, or even try Walkin On it, but for heaven’s sake, don’t even think of Staring At it - that would definitely make you Cry At it. If you notice that there’s a Little Black Spot On it, there’s only one thing to do: Set Your Controls For The Heart Of it, and enjoy The Warmth Of it.
I saw the same thing here in Indiana for like two minutes yesterday evening.
I think it’s something el Nino has been keeping in his sock drawer for the last two months, that little pendejo.
The gods must have set the moon on fire as a warning. Time to slaughter another goat.
Anne… Little Darlin’…
Your post isn’t a lot of help, as it doesn’t give information.
In the Western Sky as you’re coming home? I’sd suggest a Sundog, also known as the Parahelion. There can be two of them. They’re caused by refraction from oriented ice crystals, and the appearance can be very bright and striking. They’re more common that rainbows, but most of the time they’re not spectacular, and people don’t know to look for them, so they don’t notice them. I’ve argued that they’;re responsible for a number of myths

The Moon! THE MOON HAS CAUGHT FIRE! Run!!! RUUUUUNNNNNN!!!
Psssst . . . Cal . . . I believe Anne was making a joke about seeing the Sun after many days of cloudy weather. And IIRC, her training was in astronomy . . .
Ahh.
In that case, sacrifice a Black Ram to Apollo and everythuing will be alright.
Silly Podkayne! Everyone knows the moon can’t catch fire! The moon’s made of cheese!

We have the scientific evidence to prove it, too.
I think i saw it too, big yellowy-looking thing?
i think it’s called the DayStar or something…
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
Shibb, in Florida, where we’ve had no measurable precipitation, in more than forty days and forty nights, unless you count the whoopass we rained down on UCLA last night… and that was in Indiana.
Buf of course I saw it. There were leprechauns dancing all around it and ninjas were its bodyguards. Oh, daddy saw it, all right.
After the tornados Sunday night, I should have thought to put the money I lost on George Mason back on Florida. Sunny California vs. Floridian Liquid Sunshine - 'twas almost a homecourt advantage.
Now that the tournament is over perhaps we can all finally get some spring-like weather. The big golden chariot is burning up the skys today 
Well I rushed outside this morning after I read Annie’s post, but I couldn’t see anything bright in the western sky. Perhaps I’m looking in the wrong direction?
Apparently you’ve never had the Greek dish saganaki that is melted cheese with alcohol poured on AND THEN SET ON FIRE.
I’m now imagining a planet sized dish of saganaki. This is not necessarily a bad thing.
Has there ever been a *whoooooooooooooooooosh *as pure as this?
MMmmm…fried cheese.
It’s snowing again here in NH. 70 degrees over the weekend, and now snow.
