The Green Flash

[dollelliott]

Nuts! I truly think that the "green flash" is a plot by Florida liquor dealers and waterfront bars. How many gallons of booze ($$$) have been consumed while waiting to see this fable?

I don't doubt they sell a lot of booze while their patrons are waiting for the flash, but it's NOT a plot. I've seen it more times than I can count.... usually from a ship hundreds of miles at sea, but also from my houseboat looking across the bay and even a few times from a "beach bar".

The reason folks can't see them from the beach bars is that they get there too early, and by sunset they're too drunk to remember it if they DO see it. Ya gotta time it right.
