I think that, for the rest of my life, as I approach the end of Dark Side of the Moon, this is an image, a memory, a feeling that will trip through my mind from the rising of the first chord of Brain Damage until the final note of Eclipse fades away.

Next time, maybe I can rent a longer lens for photos specifically of the moon in front of the sun. But seeing the whole sky turn to dusk and a false sunset spread across the entire horizon, and having a picture that makes some attempt at capturing that experience, I have no regrets.

I'm finally looking at a few pictures from the eclipse trip. Here's Piper at Bob Moomaw's Hippy Memorial in Arcola, Illinois. Peace, little pupper. Peace.

And here she is visiting Bluto in Chester, Illinois. Good thing he likes dogs. Popeye would probably show up if he tried to bully her anyway.

This trip made me ache to do more traveling. I miss it so much.

I finished my reading (though not my writing). Then, I just spent most of an hour with a couple neighbors I met near the road, chatting about random topics (music theory, old buildings in Barnstable, MA, kitties) and watching the eclipse happen. That was a nice evening, though it made me miss folks back west who I'd be likely to share this with if I was around.

I hope those who can see it and are interested are doing something similar themselves and having a lovely time.
