Great picture, Mr. Man-of-all-trades!
Also, I appreciated Mr. J’s comments on the bond issue. He gets my vote.

Mammatus, also known as mammatocumulus (meaning “mammary cloud” or “breast cloud”), is a meteorological term applied to a cellular pattern of pouches hanging underneath the base of a cloud. The name mammatus is derived from the Latin mamma (meaning “udder” or “breast”).
In simple aviator terms: Bumpy cloud = bumpy ride. Smooth cloud = smooth ride.

I saw those on Sunday and thought some HDR tweaking would be dramatic on those clouds.

great shot, you must have a really good camera, or is it a really good eye, I forget……
EDITOR NOTE—Andrew Wyeth had good brushes too!
