so i woke up this morning and there was this large yellowish object in the sky. i didn’t know what it was and just thought that since i was out late last night that maybe my brain was playing tricks on me. so i closed my eyes again, reopened them, and this thing was still there. suddenly i gor freaked out, what is it? is the world ending? is it a UFO? a terrorist?

so much like all normal people, i logged onto google and searched for a “large yellowish object in the sky” hoping that at some point someone else had seen this object and either blogged about it, or posted something about it. but all i could find was lyrics to a song by somebody named shari bauer on some website called 96 decibals. i was starting to think google was going to let me down, and just then a google calendar reminder appeared on my screen and took me to my calendar. as i was looking over my calendar for the day i saw a small image of something similar to what was in the sky, i clicked on the image and began to read, “scattered clouds in seattle” this left me even more confused, clouds? what are clouds? is it possible that the sky is not gray? and that the grayness is clouds?

then i was brought back to my childhood and i remembered my mom telling me stories of this warm object in the sky that made sure life went on, and helped keep the earth warm. i seem to recall her calling this object the “sun.” so, i googled that. but unfortunately that didn’t even seem to lead me anywhere, except to this thing called “sun microsystems”

so can anybody tell me what this thing in the sky is called? and how long will it be around?

peace
