Asking for a friend."<br /><br />Well that's a very good question, Bernard. You see, the Sun had been going through a few troubles. Debt, poor solar strategies, and the like. It decided that the way to improve was to "grow it's way out of the problem." So it absorbed the Moon. The Moon was *way* cool with this. After untold years of circling aimlessly in the dark void of space, it was finally going to be bright and warm. It might even entice a lot more people to come back and visit it, just as had happened back in the 1970s. Things look real good for the Moon for about a whole ten minutes there. Then, without warning mind you, the Sun announced "it had exhausted every option" and decided to spit the Moon back out while the Sun "temporarily suspended its operations" and "had a good think about" what to do next. The Moon? Well, as far as the Sun is concerned, it's probably going to be all right, right? Has everything it takes to form a brilliant new stellar career. So...yeah. It should go do that. Yeah, it really should. Fine idea, but in reality, the Moon returns to how Simon Le Bon once wrote of it: "a lonely satellite."Jon Nicholshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05016538397199264535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116431720118421557.post-2967173856137885592017-09-04T14:56:02.333-07:002017-09-04T14:56:02.333-07:00On FB, Eric said: "I was at work.
