I saw the 2017 eclipse in Douglas, Wyoming. Perfect; never a cloud in sight.

when i was about 10 there was a partial eclipse and a neighbor said, “we’re gonna take [stray dog] indoors so she don’t go blind during the Ee-clipse”; inviting the question, would a dog even notice?

There was once an interview with Schulz where he told of how he’d get letters from optometrists asking, “Why don’t you give us optometrists a break?” because he always referred to ophthalmologists but not optometrists.
