Please Bite The Sun

     The way things are going in this country, I'm forced to conclude that it's either Peak Stupid or people have simply lost their flipping minds.  So if you're part of the problem, out raising or meta-raising hell over stuff most people don't even notice over the ringing silence of empty factories and the hot hum of  angry minds all around, go ahead, look right at the eclipse; those stories about it being bad for your eyes are probably just a leftist conspiracy or a capitalist plot.

     ...Or maybe, just maybe, as you start to glance skyward, it'll dawn on you that not everything is the result of some wicked, ill-defined Them, and you'll look away.

     But I doubt it.

Was a time I'd've been trying to finagle a way to make it down south about 200 miles for Totality -- Mrs. Drang has family down that way...

Now... I concur, peak stupid has worn me out.

Plus, we were supposed to have a least a good view of a a partial eclipse, but it was overcast AND foggy, which led Raven to spitting the Yellow Sky Demon back out.

And now I have to go to work. Life is so unfair...
