😂 No, I've just gotten wrapped up in such conversations during previous decade changes, especially the changeover between centuries. Boy, Y2K was much ado about little or nothing. About the only thing that happened to me was a computer game I used at the time revertinf to 1900, lol. I think I watched or listened to 10 maybe 12 countdowns that New Year's Eve day before counting down our own. It was something most of us won't ever see again.0 -

The sky is not blue because it reflects the ocean. The sky is blue because air particles scatter more blue light than red light. "What about sunrise and sunset?" Because the suns light is focused on a much narrow portion of the earth (depending on viewer vantage point of course) more light is filtered through less air particles allowing the red light spectrum to be seen.1
