Looking out the apartment windows seems like cheating.

A Pacific Ocean sunrise is an anomaly for Americans. Hawaiians are the exception.

Hello “Father’s Day” sunrise 2024. It arrives here 14 hours earlier than at home in Walt Disney World.

Thinking crazy thoughts is my favorite mental fun.

After four nights (and the start of Day 5) in Australia, we are settling in nicely.

This 14-time-zone change adjustment is teeing us up for the next two weeks of living, and having fun, here in the Sunshine Coast.

What and how often

How often?

Why?

11-second video: “Squirrel!” Waking up to second Pacific Ocean sunrise. This Glacier video is a random what the heck entry. Happy present moment.

We all know what is self-evident, yet we live like we are completely unaware.

An incompetent competent knows what to do but stinks at doing it.

Have a good reason for sleeping through a sunrise. Otherwise, don’t.

Most humans in their day-to-day see very few sunrises.

Have never met anyone who has regretted seeing too many sunrises.

It’s a very special, yet brief, daily occurrence.

Be greedy.

Australia reminds me of a 51st United State.

Australia reminds me of America.

Specifically the Sunshine Coast portion of Queensland.

And while currently Central Florida is almost daily toying with record breaking high temperatures, Queensland’s Sunshine Coast hovers now at 70 daytime and 50 nighttime.

Lovely.
