Sunsets to Sunrises

I am sitting in my new, fully paid for and owned home, looking down on a mystically fog filled Snoqualamie River valley and watching a beautiful sunrise over my part of the Cascades. We used to watch our Sunsets over Lynn Canal but this is going to be a fine trade-off. No Snow to speak of, family we can drive to, a Spring and Fall that we can actually watch happen as opposed to jumping in and out of Winter. I'm still not retired, so its back to work and the Juneau apartment in a few days. We did have a serious inquiry about the practice from a Glaucoma specialist working for Kaiser in San Jose. She is tired of 5 1/2 day work weeks and wants to experience "real weather". Do I have a job for her, eh? She plans to visit in December, so no one can say she wasn't warned. We have been settling in a bit, trying to mesh old possessions to new house, planning new purchases, exploring new driving patterns, just getting a feel for the new neighborhood. Found an Internet provider, filled the Propane Tank (for 20% of an Oil fill-up in Juneau), and have become friendly with the local St Vinnie's Donation staff. We smugly watch the weather reports that Southeast Alaska is getting dusted with early snow while we watch a stately procession of fall colors across the Valley. I remember that Ernest Hemingway built his final retirement home in Sun Valley famously oriented to the Sunrise compared to his Ski-dilletante neighbors aligned with Sunset. I can understand him this beautiful morning.
