Some friends and I went out for dinner last night at a Thai restaurant and when ordering an entree there, you get to specify which level of spiciness you want: Low, Medium, Hot, Thai Hot, or Challenging. Matthew felt brave enough to order pad thai at the challenging level and, well, he really wanted to get ice cream after we were done eating.
“Is there a Dairy Queen around here?” I did a web search for “nearest dairy queen” on my phone and the first one listed was… 0.0 miles away. It was the building next door, but none of us noticed when we got there. Thus, we walked out of the restaurant, turned right, walked across two parking lots and then into the DQ.
After we got our ice cream, we sat down in the sun room area: all windows and glass ceilings. Matthew told us he’d love to have a porch like that so he could just lay down and work on an all-over tan. “Through the glass?” Well, you could lay down on top of the glass roof instead.
We started joking about that concept (walk out onto the porch and see a “moon” overhead…), then I thought about Matthew’s Thai food and blurted out, “It’s an eclipse! And look, there are some solar flares!”
