Light from the sky is a result of the scattering of sunlight, which results in a blue color perceived by the human eye. On a sunny day Rayleigh scattering gives the sky a blue gradient — dark in the zenith, light near the horizon. Light that comes in from overhead encounters 1/38th of the air mass that light coming along a horizon path encounters. So, fewer particles scatter the zenith sunbeam, and therefore the light remains a darker blue.[5] The blueness is at the horizon because the blue light coming from great distances is also preferentially scattered. This results in a red shift of the far lightsources that is compensated by the blue hue of the scattered light in the line of sight. In other words some of the red light scatters also and if it does at a point at a great distance from the observer it has a much higher chance of reaching the observer than blue light. At distances nearing infinity the scattered light is therefore white. Far away clouds or snowy mountaintops will seem yellow for that reason; that effect is not obvious on clear days, but very pronounced when clouds are covering the line of sight reducing the blue hue from scattered sunlight. no im not that smart, just resourceful. thanks wikipedia |

Of all the regions of the NS world, where do you think you would retire to, if you were ever to? |

I agree with dharre. If I were to retire? It would depend on how much time I had to plan our my retirement... As of now I'm not going to think about it though ![]() I have work to do here... Technically my goal is to get this place to be self-sufficient... and that would be my retirement. |

certainly a goal out there; although self-sufficiency is a big difference from deficiency of neas . In my experience giving authority and responsibility away, even to people you know, doesn't work. Though there are a few more people involved in this case. So u would retire to AWP? sweet |
