A big piece of the sun blew off

A big piece of the sun blew off

Postby Enzo » Fri Jan 10, 2014 1:21 am

The radio news has been reporting exactly that, all day long.

And it is heading towards the Earth.

They tell us the northern lights might be visible all over the place.

I hope they are darn bright, because all we see above is clouds.

I changed the title to what I think it was supposed to be. If the original was correct, let me know and I'll change it back.

It said "run" instead of "sun".

It's been cloudy and rainy here all day so you can see the sun. Therefore, I have ignored it today.

It must have been thawed by a big piece of the sun.

Meanwhile, this Saturday morning, it is sufficiently clear that I can see Malaysia.

well, I've seen him move, so "a big piece of the run blew off" would work, too.

We've thawed out a little.

Maybe we'll get some more fine weather out of this
A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station.

If you are seeing an apparent paradox, that means you are missing something.
