Evening skies display a vivid red glow extending about a quarter of the horizon, prompting speculation it stems from atmospheric conditions possibly linked to recent aurora displays and sunspot chatter. A quirky aside notes a pharmacist quip about lips while a restaurant serves rabbits to regular boarders, with the author mentioning a honey-town hunter.
