Eclipse I nearly forgot about the eclipse yesterday! We’re outside the areas for the best viewing; and I wasn’t even thinking about it. Then, about 12:15 pm, I went out on an errand. I noticed funny little crescents of light on the sidewalk where the trees’ shadows fell — and then I remembered about the
