Rain over Mount Nittany this morning, an iconic landscape associated with Penn State, as seen on my way to work this evening. I could see the fog and rain passing over the mountain as I walked the dog this morning and planned to make a picture. Gray skies and mist are good for riding and photography.
By the time I returned home this evening the rain had passed but the sky still held on to that fairyland feeling that often sweeps overhead with a change in weather. The red light in the distance was the tail lights of a car or truck at the edge of the woods. Not sure what they were doing back there but didn't feel like finding out.
A quick picture and I was on my way, minutes from home, with three Mexi-Hots from Meyer Dairy Store. When I was a student (in 1972) there was a place called Pop's Mexi-Hots in State College, Pennsylvania selling the luscious little hot dogs with mustard, chili and onions. Joe Meyer acquired the recipe when Pop went out of business and a faithful few still show up to have one now and again.
I could myself as one of the faithful.

I looked and looked in the first photo but couldn't find your scooter anywhere in the frame.
Love that second photo...
Great photo and blog. I linked to you on my site!

I loved your 2nd photo too. I was drawn to that RED light. I wonder what was happening over there
3 Mexi-Hots ? You must have been hungry

RichardM: No scooter in the first picture. Sorry to get you into the Where's Waldo frame of mind. I get email every now and then from people saying how nice it would be to see some landscapes without the Vespa.
That one was for them.
Martha Tenney: Thanks. It was a fortunate collision of light on the scooter and the right brightness of the sky.
jrk301: Thanks for the kind words and the link to Scooter in the Sticks. Hope you continue to find something of interest here.
I rode near Boulder awhile back on a friend's BMW -- took in the city from Lookout Mountain. Nice place.
bob skoot: I shared those Mexi-Hots with Kim. But not Junior. He had his eye on them hoping but....
