I just watched a partial eclipse of the midnight sun!
I projected the sunlight onto the wall through a binocular!

Way cool, Normal!

Aren't you clever Normal.
Is that all the eclipse you got?

It was a bit more eclipsed before I remembered about it (I think) and managed to find the binoculars
And then I looked at it a bit, and had to try and find the camera. And then when I finally got the picture it was even less eclipsed than when I saw it in the binoculars

Let us think the unthinkable, let us do the undoable, let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

Oh well, at least you got something and you shared. That's good.
How is the baby?
