Perfectly sunny and almost 80f.

Time to read “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court” by Mark Twain. It includes an earlier eclipse.

Just goes to show politics is a state of mind that can be undone by science.

Kinda cool, The Drive played the entire ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ album with the title song during totality.

Eclipse eclipsed by Biden visit?

There’s a little lack spot on the sun today…
But momma; that’s where the fun is.
Cold-hearted orb, that rules the night; removes the colors from our sight.
Red is gray, and yellow, white.
But we decide which is right…
And which is an illusion.

Just saw a partial (Chicago) (with eclipse glasses), but it was cool. A neighbor came out also and I thought we were going to share a moment…but he just began mowing his lawn. I mean, I guess that’s not wrong to do, necessarily, but…not even a moment to appreciate a natural event? Seemed strange.

Relaxing time viewing partial at Cahokia Mounds.

Atleast LilRascal is consistent.
I can’t stand the anti-vaxxers that complain about migrant outbreaks.

Up in the western suburbs we had an unusual way to see the 90 percent eclipse.
My daughter was sitting near a window at home moving her iPhone around, using the sun’s reflected light off the phone’s surface as a way to taunt our cat. As he chased the light, we discovered that reflection was also a perfect showing of the partial eclipse featuring the sliver of the sun around the circle of darkness.
So we got a chance to experience the effect and didn’t have to take the Trump approach and stare up at it!

While it was only a partial eclipse in my little corner of the world, it was still a stone cold gas.

SIU Carbondale really did a good job with the national media attention again this year.

If you don’t go home to watch “Ladyhawke” tonight, I don’t want to know you…

My office quietly shut itself down for about a half hour thanks to the eclipse. I wish I would have known how many of my coworkers wanted to watch it as I would have pushed for a work-picnic day.

The Darwin Awards & The Onion exist because of people like LilRascal.
Long live The Darwin Awards. Long live The Onion.
