near up. The solar system is an imaginary Frisbee and the sun sits in the center of thatFrisbee (See illustration below).

Microsoft Encarta 2004: The Earth (Planet): Randolph H. Levine and Kenneth R. Lang

There are many rocks like objects that revolves (The revolution of the objects

around the sun may not be even) around the sun, and one of them is called earth. In oursolar system the sun stays put; it does not move. God has an invisible anchor on the thing.If the sun moves; we are S.O.L. As humans, we walk on the side of the earths surface,and in view of the fact that we have determined that the north-pole is up and the south-pole is down, we have consequently established a top and a bottom to the earth. The earthis not a perfect sphere as a ball with no distinct features of top, bottom or sides. Forexample: Reference these landmasses: Alaska, Canada, Chukot (Russian territory) andGreenland in the extreme northern hemisphere are dissimilar to landmasses of Argentinaand the Island of Alexander near the South Pole. Therefore, when we are in motion, weare either moving up, down, across or at an angle to up. With that being said, we mayeither walk up, walk down, walk across or at an angle relative to the sun, and to lookdirectly out at the sun we must raise our heads.

OK, try this. Line your body up with the earth by laying down flat on your back,and walla you are now looking out at the sun. We can only look out at the sun, becausethe sun is more across from the earth than above it.

At this moment in time you may be confused; thus, I have more puzzlement tobestow upon you. Here is another one. It is also almost impracticable to be on the surfaceof the earth and walk away from the sun. However, for this idealism/reality you haveoptions. Remember I ask you to lie on your back and look out at the sun? Do that again;now, roll over on your face and walk away. What happen; you had the same results as thelast practical exercise? Take a look at some of these options. You can walk into a cave,but you cannot be standing upright when you walk into the cave. The cave must beangled towards the vertical center line of the earth. Ha-ha, you think that you can walkdown a hill/mountain and be further away. You may be further away, but you are still onthe earths surface, and what you have just done was to angle yourself away. Now, stopright there, lay on your back look out at the sun, then roll over on your face and walkaway from the sun. You can dive into a body of water, or fall into a well or mineshaft!These work better (Please dont try any of these at home without the proper safety

devises; death may occur). While you are in the thinking mode, get a grasp of this. Whydont the statue of liberty in New York and the Eifel tower in France not falling down,since they are actually on the side of the big rocklike ball we call earth?

My final challenge is to bestow the enlightenment that the sun is never directlybehind you save for a few instances and physical area on the globe. For example: Youcan face the east at dusk, or face the west at dawn (in the morning when the globe isspinning from west to east), and at midday, lay down flat with your face towards theground and your back to the sun. The next portion of this exercise is the vacation that

you need to plan, since you must be at latitude zero, and if you do not live at one of these places in this list, then the sun is not directly behind you: Guinea, Gabon, Congo,Uganda, Kenya, Somalia, Indonesia, Nauru, Galapagos Islands, Ecuador, Columbia,brazil, In the ocean at latitude zero. Take your pick from one of the vacation spots or finea tanning spot somewhere else at latitude zero to get the sun directly behind you. Do not

forget to lay down, turn around and look at the earth face-down or you will sure to bedisappointed on your return home. This entire read is a thinking exercise. On the otherhand, I know that someone out there will have the gull to try this; therefore, be safe inyour endeavors.

With a good understanding of the latter you will now understand why Alaska andnorthern Canada have so much twilight and darkness because of the earths wobbling (thetop and bottom of the big ball called earth moves back and forth over-time which gives usseasons). The closer you are to the equator (center of the earth) the less dramatic theseasons. Farmers may now plant and harvest year-round. Believe it or not, we actuallylive on a wobbling spinning piece of rock. This brings me to another topic: Stellar rocketLaunch Windows, but well leave that argument for another time.

In conclusion, we have established earths relative position to the sun and the factthat it is unattainable for us to look up at the sun. It is also clear that according to humanthought and acknowledgement that up is where the North Pole is, and if you have thedesire to stand-up you must go to the North Pole. Every person in Texas stands-out,because the state of Texas is on the side of the earth. A comparable offset or opposite isto have the desire to stand-upside-down, for this elusion in a real world you must go tothe South Pole. To be upright relative to up (The North Pole) at the South Pole you muststand on your head.

A Compassionate Jimmy Who Stood-Up Each Day

And now I would like to finally end with a humanitarian story; just so that you can clearyour head of the enlightenment youve just read/heard.

Jimmy was a compassionate and natured man; Jimmy McConnell was his realname. He devoted his entire life to charity, and God blessed him as he lived to be a ripeold age of 86. Jimmy had a knack for fun raising, and since he did it from the heart, hebecame a winner at doing so. Everyone in town knows him, and thus appreciates hisgoodness. At one instant he even helped his towns men with an arduous civic financialdilemma, and they cleared that pecuniary hurdle from the red and into the black. He hadnever once supported an unworthy cause. As loving as he was, his number did run-out,and he died a meaningful aged mans death. However, Jimmys fun raising effortsbecame more astute after his death. Before the beloved members of his town lay him torest, he answered a call to help his fellow-men and women acquire a bit more funds for asport-plex in his town. He conjured up a plan while he was alive. It was a crude thing andno one had ever tried it before, and out of respect the funeral home rejected hiscompassionate enthusiasm as a ruse of last rites. Jimmy explained to the memorialservant that if they will not honor his wishes that he was going to take his businesselsewhere. To their surprise and others, at the time of his wake, an admission fee of $10

was charged to all that entered, and the money was placed in Jimmys casket as he laidthere dead. The funds were his final endeavor to help finance the town sport plex. We theso-called civilized bunch have never charged for baby showers, or weddings but forJimmys wake his towns men felt honored to pay a fee of $10 at his wake. And so it wasthat, even as he lay there in his coffin, as dead as a door nail, he was still supporting his

community with a righteous act.In closing, anyone whos invited to a baby shower or potluck is expected to bring

something of value to the event. On the other hand, when bidding farewell to loves onepassing, you dont expect to be hit-up for a dollar or two by a dead host, except the deadhost is Jimmy. Come to think of it, this could be a genesis in its own rite. It shouldnt belong now before the fans of Elvis and Michael Jackson descends on a piece of real estatefor a gathering of their resurrection. There will only be one catch to this ploy: a $50admission fee. Jimmy McConnell was a citizen of Saskatchewan, Canada, and he livedon top of the world. When he was alive each day he stood-up and we stand-out.
