Death, Taxes, and You're Wrong

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?
me: Uhhh...refraction? Light bending around objects, maybe.
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.
me: So you don't have a single clue as to what is causing this phenomenon but you can be certain of one thing - I'm wrong.
Brenda: Now you've got it.

Vacation Week II
Took the girls to a petting zoo where they could not only look at the animals but interact as well. Saw some things of interest to me; an albino peacock (well, I don't know if it was albino but it was all white); petted a llama (their hair is kinda rough); the world's fattest rabbit (big as a poodle!); pigs, cows, horses, donkeys, turkeys & chickens & roosters (oh, my); a beautiful garden of vegetables and flowers; and lots of ducks and geese.
