sunshine

i'm setting off tomorrow to witness a total solar eclipse. it's only going to be visible from a few locations, and from where i' at now, i would only be able see a partial eclipse. but hey, if i was going to see it, might as well see the whole thing.

it's one of the few things on my "bucket list" that i thought would take me a while. because total solar eclipses are extremely location specific. and it's hard for everything to come together perfectly: the planetary alignment, phase of the moon, the time of day, the location, etc. now i just need a clear sky, and going by the weather forecast it seems i might finally get my wish.

it has already been dubbed the most perfect solar eclipses of this century. for the short 6 and a half minute, i would be able to experience the sky go completely dark in the middle of the day. i'm hoping it would be as exciting as i think it would be.
