I went outside and there's definitely a piece missing from the sun. So that's cool.
You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
something is about to swallow the sun
For real, now that it's started and I'm seeing it, I'm having a totally atavistic response where the eclipse is creeping me OUT. What are you doing, Steph's brain?
Still pretty sunny here, right now. I expect to be fully creeped out in about half an hour.

I'm getting the gnawing feeling that I should be going home, it so dark outside. I expect to be depressed in an hour.
No visible streetlights yet, but there definitely should be.
edit: Just stood up, and there are streetlights on further down the valley!

It's the Skygoat. We all knew this day would come.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
First contact here about a half hour ago, and we'll hit totality in just under an hour. I'll be outside with Rose's class when it happens. Exciting!

Co-worker: If I don't get superpowers by the end of the day, I'm going to be pissed!

And getting slowly lighter.

Pictures on FB just made me realize that if I'd planned better (or at all), I could be floating in the pool and watching the eclipse.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Luckily, now you have seven years to plan!

Our wings are not tired.
Niece just called me and she has qualifying welder's helmet and a homemade viewer. I'll be heading there shortly.
