The Grand Finale! Last stop in was the Lars Homestead βigloo.β We timed the visit to be just before sunset for maximum Tatooine sun-glare. (From one Sun anyway!) Shout out to the Droid Builders in our signature on the wooden interior! π #StarWars #Tunisia #Africa #AnnivTwip
So Bill Nye the Science Guy is on TV explaining how the US government cannot change the gravity of planet Earth in order to move hurricanes in a certain direction, in case you were wondering where we are as a civilization. #SixthExtinction
One of the great joys of my life was seeing Maggie Smith onstage in London. I twice watched "The Importance of Being Earnest" at the Aldwych back in the day (1990 theatre season). Her films were amazing, but her onstage comedy energy was a force of nature. #RIP #DameMaggieSmith
I rarely visit Twitter anymore, since I'm just waiting for it to change hands or die.
But today I wanted my GenX brethren to know that Jeff Cohen celebrates his 50th birthday. With that, friends, the YOUNGEST GOONIE has reached the half-century mark.
Carry on.

Modern Americans take fewer days off than medieval peasants. This insidious, money-worshipping work culture is 700% the WRONG thing to be measuring during a celestial event. Shame on @Reuters and @NBCNews for even framing an eclipse in such a toxic, ludicrous way. #Eclipse
10 minutes to totality in our area of Texas. Diffuse clouds rolling in, yikes! But almost there. Fun fact: if you move the solar filter before the iPhone is done taking the picture, you create a wacky UFO. ππ

Yay! Sunny skies!
Patchy clouds, but still pretty good visibility. We will now be scalping our old solar eclipse glasses on Hwy 290 for eleven gazillionty dollars ππ

We drove thru a 200mile dirt storm, from the edge of NM to Midland, TX. Serious dustbowl! Thankfully the wind died down. Rain forecast is still a coin toss, but we have a solid chance of seeing the eclipse from the line of totality!

#TriviaTuesday Mercury and Venus have no eclipses because they have no satellites. Phobos and Deimos, which orbit Mars are too small to create eclipses, and their 20-ish-second annulars or partials are considered "transits." #Eclipse
