I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

Personally, I wouldn't own a Mitsubishi.

Me too.  I wish I'd taken the day off too, so I could go to one of these 'eclipse towns' and give all the nerds wedgies.

If you like that stuff, try Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari.  I didn't agree with all of his conclusions (or maybe even most of them), but he asks all the right questions, so it should really stimulate your thoughts.
Thanks.  I started reading 'Collapse' last night, but I'll see about that one next.

You don't have to travel to give yourself a wedgie.  :huh:

Got some good photos with a couple of layers of used xray film over my phone camera lens.  :)

On my 13 hour drive back from Florida last Saturday I ran across a Canadian XM station that had country music in French.  Did not know that was a thing.

I've been having problems with eye strain from looking at excel all day. The opticians gave me glasses, not particularly strong ones, but yeah.
They're only to be used when on a computer, I don't have to wear them all the time.
Yet...
It always seems my eyes are worse after wearing them on the computer....
Normal adjustment time or...bad prescription?

Jefferson City was an eclipse town and I just saw it on my back porch.  No clouds.  Really impressive.  Temperature dropped about 20 degrees and it got dark.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

We had a decent enough partial eclipse here in Cincy. My son and I watched it at the library.
