Night Clouds

Seth shares this tale of his conversion to the ways of science:

As a youngster I was obsessed with knowing the world around me. During one of our family's many trips to the cabin, I remember asking a particularly large amount of questions. The one that stands out was about the approaching nightfall....I'm sure that after 200 questions my mother was particularly fed up with my pestering. When I asked what makes the night come, she responded...”Clouds! Every night clouds bring the darkness!” It wasn't until years later that I blurted it out in school, and was promptly told what a moron I was. It was that event that sparked my dedication to science!
