Celestial Machinations
As I mentioned in the previous post, I spent Friday and Saturday nights with my youngest brother. He and his wife have a lake cottage on Lake Hartwell, northeast of Atlanta, near where Deliverance was filmed.

I locked onto the ascendant orb in the sky and set the film to "record". It was not until I downloaded the snippet to my laptop that I became aware of its initially aggressive, then just plain bewildering behavior, and of the fact that its abrupt disappearance was not due to an itinerant fog bank:
