Eclipse

Literally, a forsaking. Self-centered suggestion, as my city is in the path of totality for the one coming up April 8, but here it is anyway. Last time was in 1806, the next not for 400 years. :shock:
Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.

Enjoy it! Total eclipses are well worth chasing. I recommend a good pair of welder's goggles.

For a stupendous story of an eclipse chaser, with photos, see https://www.wendycarlos.com/eclipse.html

(My two experiences were in Nova Scotia, camping, with a sound truck circling the campground playing "I'm being followed by a moon shadow", and on a sailing ship in the Caribbean, with a volcano burbling off on the port side. Great memories!)
