I wish this were an original thought. Well, come to think of it, it was by someone, though not by me, but I like it so much , I don't want to forget it:
Can you see farther in the daylight or at night?
And now, I have literally sat here for about 5 mimutes waiting as if to give you enough time to think about it. And maybe, though I suspect you've guessed that the easy answer - daytime - is wrong, I can help you get the right answer by illustrating the reason why that's wrong, with this: Put a flashlight up in your face about 6 inches from your eyes and turn it on. Can you see anything behind it?
Of course you can see farther at night - look up in the sky tonight and tell me what you see.
About Me
- Jamie McVickar
- Chester Springs, PA, United States
- I live with my awesome family of 5 or 6 or maybe 8 depending on your definitions regarding an engaged step-daughter, an exchange student, and dogs, cats and stuff, in West Vincent in the house my dad built back in the 50's. I graduated from Westtown School and Earlham College, with a degree in Psychology, which helps explain why I'm an Accountant today. I've been a Quaker since I was 2 months old and a Phillies fan since I was 7. Being a Quaker has served me far better. I hope you enjoy this blog. Let's try to keep it vitriol free.

It's so funny; every time I hear this (which has been more than once, and more than once from you; after all, it is really cool), I get hung up on it. I know the answer is 'night', but I always assume that it's an existential question about whether ease or difficulty in life eventually brings more clarity. Tho I guess the answer could be the same, either way.
