Before insta-fam, before closing businesses, before shifting careers, moving, and cancer, my hubby and our only son at the time visited my sister in Florida. She lived on the Gulf-side of the state and we pasty-fleshed ‘land lubbers’ were delighted to experience our first legit trips to a beach there under her savvy guidance. As it was nearing sunset one evening and we were packing up to leave, I noticed that many other people had just begun to arrive! Confused, I questioned my sister about it. She told me that people like to watch the sun go down at the beach. Additionally, she explained that sometimes when the sun goes down and the conditions are just right, a pillar of light stretches up from the horizon right after the sun goes down.
