Not going to be able to see the total eclipse. It's about to go down behind my neighbors house and it's a little hazy here. Oh well.

When we lived in Virginia, we were playing cards with our neighbors. Each lot was over an acre. They had an acre and a half and their house sat in the back of the lot in trees. Ours was an acre and a quarter and sat more towards the front. So Jim, decided to go back to his house and get some more of his favorite beer. He didn't come back and he didn't come back, but we'd decided it was time for snacks so had taken a break. Jim finally comes in and said "I got lost!" WTH? He lived next door! We razzed him the rest of the night. The next day, we found out there was a complete lunar eclipse. We didn't have street lights out in the country and they'd turned off their lights when they left their house.
