Standing in line to see a border isn't normally my idea of a good time.
I've never been much for seeing a sight for the sake of saying I had
seen the sight. Oh look, I'm standing in two time zones! Oh gee, I'm
standing in four states! Blah and yawn!
But when NASA had announced that they had discovered the ACTUAL edge of reality, and that it was nestled quietly in between Florida and Alabama, not far from the state line... I was both amazed and filled with wonder... and also a bit nonplussed... I mean if it was going to be somewhere... right? It was gonna be there.
But here at last was a border worth seeing! A place to visit and take stock of... and no small numbers of pictures and videos. So as I stood patiently in line for hours, occasionally buying drinks and snacks and souvenirs from roving entrepreneurial vendors, I tried to maintain my sense of amazement and wonder... getting closer and closer... ever nearer to that entry gate... and the incomprehensible shocks and mind wrenching mysteries that lay beyond.
Yeah ok... it was ok. Pretty cool. The line was awfully long though. Maybe wait until the hubbub settles down?
