Mellotronists

I'm no fan of Jon Anderson - his singing voice was what kept me from 
becoming a fan of Yes.  I never gave much thought his lyrics, really 
only noting that he was cool enough (to my teenaged sensibilities) to 
name a song after a Robert Heinlein novel. 

With that said, I have experienced a mountain coming out of the sky and 
have to say that it's pretty damned cool.  I used to live in Portland, 
OR and when I first moved there I was driving east along a highway 
facing the mountains and after a while noticed what appeared to be a 
huge triangular cloud in the sky.  It took me a couple of minutes to 
figure out that I was seeing the snow cap on Mt. Hood and atmospherics 
had visually eliminated the base of the mountain.  Very disorienting and 
a bit upsetting while you're trying to figure out how a cloud can take 
on a triangular shape.  On really clear days, you could even see Mt. St. 
Helens from there which was even weirder, what with its flat top and all.
