We folks on the West Coast were privy yesterday to an annular solar eclipse in the late afternoon, when the moon temporarily blotted out most of the sun (not that we were plunged into darkness or anything, mind you). It’s such an infrequent occurance than when it happens it’s a big deal and some people go nuts. Or blind. We were briefly blinded trying to look at it with what they call “the naked eye,” since we couldn’t find our welder’s goggles, so we snapped a photo from our porch (see above), which turned out what they call “shitty.” Fortunately, there is YouTube footage today with DRAMA music for days (see below).
