In light of recent events, I needed something to cheer me up.
Last night, I was able to witness and participate in, one of the most beautiful and amazing things I’ve ever seen.
As anyone from northeast Indiana knows, it’s fucking cold out here. Last night, it was somewhere below 0*F. This allowed me to do what I was able to do despite being at work.
I went out to my car and grabbed a bottle of bubble solution/wand and let it thaw in the sink. Then, I went outside and started blowing bubbles. It was the most amazing and awesome things ever.
If the bubbles burst, they exploded. They shattered in millions of tiny bubble shards and released a puff of hot air. Since it wasn’t very windy, I was able to get close to them and see all the shapes the ice took as they floated about the surface before gravity had them find their way to the bottom. Sometimes, I would catch them in my hand. The warmth of my palm saw them collapse and slowly disintegrate into nothing. I was actually laughing at the bubbles, giddy as a little child.
If you have the opportunity to do this, I highly recommend it. Unfortunately, I didn’t have anything to record it with, so you’ll have to do it on your own to see it. It was so much fucking fun.
