Just a reminder of how big the Sun is compared to our Earth.

My daughter came home from college her freshman year with a girl I had never met and no advance warning whatsoever. Just walked through our front door on a Friday evening in November dragging her own suitcase and another girl’s behind her like it was completely normal.
“Dad, this is Amara. She’s staying with us for Thanksgiving”
I looked at my wife. My wife looked at me
“Nice to meet you, Amara,” I said. “You hungry?”
She nodded without making eye contact. Thin in a way that wasn’t natural.

Wearing a jacket inside that she kept on through dinner despite our house being warm. She ate carefully the way my daughter’s friend Leo used to eat. Like someone rationing gratitude so as not to appear too desperate for what was on the plate in front of them.
After dinner my daughter helped me with dishes and I asked quietly what was going on.
She turned to me with the same steady eyes her mother has when she has already decided something and is just waiting for everyone else to catch up.

🥃 Bourbon tourism supports Kentucky's economy: 76% of distillery visitors in Kentucky are from out of state and spend between $600 – $1,400 on dining, entertainment and lodging! #NTTW

Holy smokes….incredible finish at LA Marathon today by American Nathan Martin coming from behind to catch and beat Kenyan Michael Kamari at the finish line

@RBrookhiser Probably because a lot of people move there from all over the country, including those who aren’t used to significant snowfall. So they clear out the stores out of panic.

Incredible sunset tonight.

On October 3, 1863, President Lincoln issued a proclamation designating “the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving.” Lincoln’s announcement marked the culmination of a multi-decade campaign by Sarah Josepha Hale to make Thanksgiving into a national holiday.
