Recent conversation with Brenda:
Brenda: Does the sunset look strange to you? It looks like the sun is in front of the poles we're passing. What would cause that?

Brenda: No, it's not that. It's probably more like I'm seeing an after-image on my retinas. I don't know.
me: You don't know but you're sure I'm wrong.
Brenda: Yeah.
