A Pall

I've heard a couple people say they believe there is a pall that hangs over Toledo. I think they may have been talking about a spiritual or economic depression, or a general gloom amongst the people.

A few days ago, I went online to find out why it wasn't sunny when the forecast called for sunshine. When I saw this cloud-cover satellite image, I had to laugh. The entire region is cloud free, except, of course, Toledo (the lighter areas over Pennsylvania and West Virginia are shaded for the Appalachian Mountains).

It's a fitting visual.
