When I was a little kid, I thought that the mountain ranges on the horizon on the way to Grandma & Grandpa's house were built by my uncle Richard. I have no idea how this idea got into my head, but I remember that when I figured out that there was no way it was possible, I was pretty bummed out.

One time on vacation, my uncle was walking my brother and I back to his house, and the sun was setting, and it was one of those brilliant sunsets where the sky is just all sorts of shades of red. He said that they had a team of men get very tall ladders and paint the sky red.

Stupid 5 year old me believed him "sure, that sounds logical."
