It made me think about Hubert Sumlin singing I'm sitting on top of the world. Plus yesterday, the local weather gave us a cheap shot as a reminder of winter 2010-2011, two inches of snow, wow, we really needed that.

If you log on the NASA site on any day except april 17, you'll have to click on the lower left icon and select this date to see this stunning picture. Enjoy the view.

This thread reminds of when Howlin' Wolf played at our university back in the mid 70s a bunch of my friends and I sat front row center and when the Wolf sang Sittin' On Top Of The World he looked down and saw about 10 young white boys with tears streaming down their faces.I think that he was both honored and amused at the same time,at least that's what his expression showed with the kind benevolent smile he flashed our way.
