I think this is on me. Evidently the heavens did not want to see any of our perineums, and took drastic measures to prevent it...
But seriously...Am I the only one who feels unusually disappointed? And also feeling weird for feeling disappointed? Is it about feeling like I've missed out on something important, hoping for a break in the clouds at the last minute? What was I hoping for?
Maybe someone will come up with an amazing inspiring photo from western New York and find the literal silver lining.
I'm not a woman, but it almost has a miscarriage-like feel to it, a sense of loss where you know there are still other opportunities, and you don't know why it hurts so much.
I feel like there's some meaning in it, but I also feel dumb for thinking there's some meaning to it. Both at a macro level for whatever this movement is, but also at a micro personal level, as my home is also in today's zone of totality, and it is pretty close to where the eclipse conference took place. I thought about heading home from the conference early to watch the eclipse to beat the traffic, but didn't.
My house had clear skies and a perfect view of the entire eclipse. Cue the Curb Your Enthusiasm music.
Why is this such a big deal to me? It doesn't make sense.
For those at today's conference, am I the only one?

My perineum is thoroughly unenriched. But it was nice to be with friends.
I don't think it's just you. My recollection is that multiple people commented to me how odd it was that we were kept from seeing this celestial event. I originally wondered if such a thing might happen as a protection from some power or curse. But after conversing with others, I suspect that the more accurate feeling that I have is that the curtain which remained shut so as to keep our eyes from bearing witness to this celestial event, is a sign of disfavor from the Creator.
That's kind of where I am Edwin.
