bluegargantuaHi,
Interesting set of dreams this morning:
1.) It was evening, but the sun had set early so it was dark out, and I'm driving along when I looked up and saw shooting stars. They'd just suddenly appear as bright points in the sky and then shoot off in a random direction leaving a trail behind. But these meteors got quite a ways down into the atmosphere because they'd get brighter and then suddenly burst into a bright cloud followed by a boom. It was really pretty neat.
2.) But right after that, it got light out again. And I'm like, "hey, it's still 8pm and it was dark just a minute ago, what gives?". Eventually, Bill Nye the Science Guy tried to explain how it was some weird effect of orbital mechanics -- something about the tilt of the Earth and stuff. I really wasn't buying his explanation though.
3.) I was at a convention running this large, complex wargame. There was this huge model of a WWII aircraft carrier. The scenario was that a hurricane had beached the carrier on a South Pacific island. Now the Japanese were attacking by land, sea and air and the carrier had to fend them all off. There must have been a few US warships in the area because otherwise the Japanese would've just shelled the thing to scrap (or maybe the Japanese only had a couple small ships or something). It struck me as a neat idea.
that's all
