There's a moon in the sky / it's called The Moon

• donned eclipse glasses after careful inspection for scratches
• drank a Blue Moon
• do we think this is really going to happen or will it be cloudy or they got the day wrong like in Tycho Brahe's time
• oh wow it's happening
• checked out various pinhole projections and crescent shadows cast by leaves on trees
• felt like the light was getting weird?
• drank a Corona
• thought about 13 year old Tycho Brahe ("he may know the law of all things...") watching the eclipse 457 years ago today and poured one out for him, and also for the sun which gives us life and sustains us
• the light got really weird
• omigod it's really happening there's a hole in the sky where the sun's supposed to be
• screamed
• screamed
• screamed
• laughed hysterically
• said "Oh my God" over and over for two minutes and 30 seconds
• looked around at all the happy people losing their shit along with me
• quick put the glasses back on when the sun reappeared
• started planning my next eclipse trip
