Sunrise in the West

There are many constants that we all accept as facts of life; gravity, death, taxes, and of course, the sun coming up in the East each morning.

Something that still baffles my brain is watching the sun rise in the West on a late Summer flight from Seattle to Alaska. It was dark when I left Washington, and the sun was well above the horizon when I landed in Fairbanks! I'm a fan of gravity, but if I could cheat death and taxes the same way I cheated the sun, that would be GREAT!
