Light Bulbs

So this is a little random.
Am I the only person who often just has random weird thoughts about everyday things???
Today I was flying into Edmonton from Inuvik and maybe its because I've been away from anything city for a month, but I just couldn't believe all the lights.  I mean, if you think about it there is a light bulb installed for every single light.  That's a TON of light bulbs!  I just was looking out the window and could not even fathom the amount of light bulbs it takes to just light one city block and the homes or businesses let alone a whole city!  Its just one of those things, like if you say a word too many times it starts to sound really weird, this just blew my mind.  At one time when the sun set the earth was dark, not anymore, we just flick a switch and magically a little glass bulb allows us to see.  Its just way too easy. 
My random thought of the day.


Not exactly Edmonton but city enough!
