Also wanted to say that I love those photos Liese and love that you took your kids out to see the eclipse. I tried to get my kids to look at it and they were supremely uninterested. Go figure!
Early: Where'd she go? Simon: I can't keep track of her when she's not incorporeally possessing a space ship. Don't look at me.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Phone charger- one at home, one at work. And a car charger.
We were on the patio of a restaurant last night and someone had a welding mask. So every one on the Patio was taking turns and people from inside. The restaurant were taking turns too

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It was overcast for us, so I didn't see anything. If I could have seen it, I would have seen the sun start to disappear behind the moon as the moon was setting. By the time the moon was halfway covering the sun, they both would have set.

I need to get a car charger for my new phone. Haven't taken it on a car trip, but Summer Is Coming (with road trips) and since I DON'T HAVE TO HAVE WIFI anymore to play on the internet, I know it'll suck the battery dry quicker.
My phone charger stays at home, plugged in.

My phone charges off a micro-USB port which makes it easy to charge in a bunch of places. Standard ports rule.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Due to my phone not being that smart, I hardly ever have to charge it. But I do have the (plug-into-the-wall) charger with me today, because I thought I might need it yesterday, but then forgot about that. So I'm charging now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's very convenient that everything I have charges off USB, so wherever there is a current model computer, I can charge if I have my cables. So I always have my cables. My work laptop has 6 USB ports, so I never run short.
Does anyone here buy Adagio tea? I just learnt they let you create your own blends, and I was wondering what the base quality of their ingredients was like.

On days I drive to work, I can just connect my iPhone to a USB port in my car. Also, I take my MacBook Pro when I drive so I can sync/charge the phone while at work.
When I take the train, I carry the tiny iPhone charger in my pocket so I can play music on my iPhone all day without draining the battery every day and wearing it out.
The Apple iPhone charger is really cutting edge in its small size. I've read that the knockoffs of this charger are dangerous as they take shortcuts in fitting everything in that tiny cube.

Our wings are not tired
I have charging cables in my car, which is the same as tommyrot's, so I have two USB ports in the onboard media hub. Whenever I'm in my car I have a tendency to plug in the iPhone and there's an iPod that lives in the car always connected to the other USB port. I have a charger built into my alarm clock, so the phone gets a full charge each night, and then if I'm working from the office I tend to have it plugged into my computer, so it gets a charge there. When I travel I have an iPad charger, and an iPhone charger and they both live in my hotel room, and then I have a car adapter that lives in my backpack so it is always available if I have a rental car.
