Barbers through centuries cut hair and talk to clients. The weather is usually mentioned. Casual conversation among professionals often addresses the weather. Some even discuss what is changing in the sky. It is often a matter of pride and knowledge. Sometimes its just a way to pass the time.

When I observed last night and thought about the observing period today, it became the basis for a story. A small version of the painting is below.
