81.   And by the time we reached Kiana Lodge, where the reception was held, the sun was out.

82.   And the sun will be the color of blood rising through a haze of black followed by partial late-morning clearing.

83.   And when the sun is finally gone, so are the people, leaving the fog an empty beach to conquer.

84.   And the sun sure has been downright hot.

85.   And, the sun was out.

86.   As good as the sun is at making things hot, it is not quite as efficient as a producer of electrical energy.

87.   At its stormy peak, the sun is alive with sunspots, flares and mass ejections.

88.   At that moment, the sun will be directly above the equator.

89.   Astronomers have known for millenia that the sun was not unchanging, instead following a predictable cycle of gaining and losing sunspots.

90.   At the height of the season, when the sun is hottest and the days are the longest, these bright jewels of summer are ripe for the picking.
