Geesh! Do I gots ta splain you everthang?

Apparently, yes.

And now I see your point. I should have written:

"It's a stupid thing to do, and it will screw up your vision."

Generally, we should not stare into the sun, especially one, I would imagine, that was bright enough to cause sneezing. The morning sun today rising into a veil of foggy October mist was red and presented not much harm to look at, but without that veil and being, instead, higher overhead in the sky (and I suppose bright enough to cause sneezes), the sun would burn the retina.

Belaboring a point,
