Watching the sunrise on vacation is always one of my favorite things to do. 🌅 I'm not thinking about emails, and yes, I'm not even thinking about my customers (sorry). I'm just watching this huge fireball in the sky, roughly 93 million miles away, that expends enough energy in one hour to equal burning 225 quintillion barrels of oil. For reference, it would take a human roughly 89.1 billion lifetimes to count that high.
But for me, it just provides a beautiful reddish glow in the sky and across the blue waters of the bay. I'm not concerned at all about the hell's fury that could be unleashed on us at any moment, but more about how it raises the temperature a little after it peaks over the dunes in the background and takes a little of the cool, crisp morning air away.
After that, I think about breakfast. What did you think an engineer was thinking about on vacation? 🤷♂️
