It's some kind of wacky hybrid eclipse that you can only fully appreciate from, like Tahiti. But I get around 25% coverage, which is worth poking a hole on a piece of cardboard for.
Everyone's getting spanked but me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

A sponge-worthy eclipse, you mean?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I don't know what kind of sponges you're using, ita, but that doesn't sound right.

Awwww -- Duck lays eggs in front of Treasury:
Security is tight in front of the White House for a new resident -- a Mallard hen sitting on nine eggs she laid at the foot of a sapling over the weekend.
The mother duck chose for her nest a fresh heap of mulch on the sidewalk outside the heavily guarded entrance of the Treasury Department, next door to the presidential residence.
Secret Service officers have erected metal stanchions around the tree to shield the incubating bird from passersby on the crowded pedestrian plaza in the heart of the U.S. capital.
"I'm getting more calls on this than on the Chinese currency," Treasury spokesman Rob Nichols said.
Treasury staff have dubbed the bird "T-bill", "Duck Cheney", and "Quacks Reform", Nichols said.
Treasury Secretary John Snow, who "had been briefed on the duck", paused to pay it a visit after testifying before Congress on Thursday, the spokesman added.
The mallard chicks are expected to hatch at the end of the month.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I wish I could have seen that briefing. Although it was probably just a few Powerpoint slides....

"It's a duck, sir, not a terrorist plot. It's a mother duck sitting on her eggs. Mother's Day is next month. Let's just leave the duck alone."
