Thoughts in the clouds

This morning, at a stop light, I looked up and mused about how striking the clouds looked.  Most days, I wouldn't think to notice that.  Less than a minute later, I heard Jim on the Radio Arts Foundation's station, K297BI, saying this would be a great day to see puffer clouds.  Shortly after that, I heard Cat on KDHX talk about the noticeably puffy cumulus clouds.

It was nice to know that I wasn't the only one whose thoughts were in the clouds.  I wonder if anyone had the presence of mind to play "Little Fluffy Clouds" by The Orb on the air.  It combines two seemingly unrelated elements--techno music and an interview with Rickie Lee Jones, in which she recalls fluffy clouds in Arizona--into a hypnotic mix.
