Wow!

Is it EVER dark outside right now…

There’s not even a sliver of sun to be seen yet. For all I know, the old fireball is off in Mexico somewhere, cavorting around with a bunch of giggling senoritas, and doesn’t give a flaming hoot about shedding some light on these shivering Canadian prairies.

What does the sun do, when it isn’t in our sky? Does it go out clubbing with other suns? Does it take a nap?

Does the sun have a night job? Maybe ole Sol “moonlights” as a greenhouse when it isn’t shining brightly throughout our day…

Of course, for decades now there has been some crazy talk, talk about how the Earth rotates and stuff. Ha-Ha!! Good one, scientists!! Next you’ll tell us you figured that out by sending men up to the moon!! Ha-Ha-Ha-Hah!!!!

My guess is, the sun slowly (over the course of the day) covers up with a giant, invisible beach blanket, or steel gate (painted blue, so as to blend in with the rest of the sky). Then, after it gets dark here, the sun shuts off and recharges, in some big electrical outlet up there. Which does open the door to the sun’s light fading slowly, like a dimmer does with our dining room lights. Which would make things a whole lot easier to explain than the sun having arms to pull down a gate.

Of course, there is that Man In The Moon, so if he can have a face, why couldn’t the sun have arms??

Wow! Science is still as hard to figure out as it was when I was still in high school. I really shouldn’t have spent so much time playing hooky to shoot pool!!

Chow for now!!
