For years, the biggest entertainment in St. Croix was to watch the sunset.

Not so much for the sunset per se but to listen to the speculation about the so called green flash before the sun went down and then about whether we actually saw one occur when the sun set.

I saw this today.

Videographer Captures Elusive Green Flash

I always though that seeing it was a matter of expectations. I did see it. And it was fast fast fast. You could not say "SEE!" and expect others to get it. Because in that half second they either did see it or didn't and by the time I hit the second E, it was gone.

This is not the first film I have seen of it. But it does show that the arguments still go on.

I always figured that part of it was the atmosphere of the sunset watch. The bar had been open for at least an hour. The tooters were tooting. Even if there was none, and sometimes I did not see one, these people saw it.

This hurt the credibility of those who saw it and knew we had seen it.

So, here it is again.

Some of you will not see it. Tough shit. You are slow on the uptake. Get a little patience and open up those peepers.
