Avoiding the Obvious
'In Eclipse' Challenge - No. 3
Eclipse? Right, well that is just one more event to prepare for on a work day...
Could be nice to get out of the building and find a quiet spot to observe it...
Love to see the tourist traps again with all the crowds I expect to be there...
I have not been there in at least...five months (the weather was really nasty this winter:
Permafrost over the boardwalk; chill ripping through our bodies).
So, I will be back there, glasses and all, and wait to see how it goes down.
Everyone has their own reasons for not missing this one. What are mine?
