A solar eclipse is coming in a few days that will be visible to much of the eastern United States. I remember our last eclipse back in August 2017. We lived in the path of totality, where the moon blocks out all of the sun but a thin ring. (Doesn’t that sound like something out of sci-fi?)
My wife and I didn’t think much of the eclipse, so we didn’t make any special plans. For days, the newspaper had included events of groups gathering, but we hadn’t paid much attention. We didn’t see why we should go to any bother and planned to stay home, doing inside stuff.
