Do you believe this? A new moon before a solar eclipse. Wow.
No playing around now. Tomorrow is a big day for many people, including lots and lots of young and little people.
PLEASE TAKE GOOD CARE OF THOSE THAT CAN'T TAKE GOOD CARE OF THEMSELVES.

By now you’ve seen a ton of stories (click here) on the upcoming solar eclipse Monday. There are wonderful maps showing the path, the times, the amounts of the solar disk obscured. There have been pieces on the impacts to wildlife, the local atmosphere — temperature and humidity — even quirky things like “Baily’s Beads, “ the brightening’s peeking over the edge of the moon’s limb.
But, but, but. There would be no eclipse if there weren’t another partner in this organization. Yeah, what about the moon?...
