Blue Sky ????
 
I am curious if it is me, or if anyone else has noticed that we don't seem to have the vibrant, deep blue sky that I remember seeing "a few" years back. Wondering if anyone has a explanation. Thank you in advance:)

The bluest sky I've seen in the past 15 years was right after 9-11, when all the jets were grounded for days. Several other people mentioned it to me as well.

Coincidence? Maybe. Maybe not! It may have something to do with that.

And all this time they have been blaming it on the coal fired power plants.

Not to debunk your theory but I CLEARY remember the sky over NYC as blue as I have ever seen as the 2nd plane was hitting the WTC.

As it was here that day and the day before

I believe the bluest sky I've ever seen was on the day after my cataract surgery.:cool:

I agree. Cataracts develop so slowly, you don't realize how discolored things are.

I had cataract surgery in both my eyes about 6 or 7 years ago. After the first eye was done and the cloudiness from the drops had cleared, I looked in the bathroom mirror and was shocked to see some old guy with gray hair and a white moustache looking back at me! I had thought my hair and moustache were BROWN, which it turned out was due to the effect of the cataract! :laugh: (When my second eye was done, I looked even older!) ;)

After the surgery I was seeing colors correctly again for the first time in years. Whites were actually "white", not yellow-brown. The results of the surgery are truly remarkable.
