A once in a lifetime moment is just that. And I have waited a lifetime.
A total eclipse of the sun, Monday, August 21, and we only had to drive 15 miles for totality, to soak in the sun and then the lack of it. It was bumper to bumper traffic to get there, so it wasn't exactly a chip shot. Our 21st century brains knew what was going on, we learned about it in elementary school. But our Neanderthal DNA quaked at the eerie sight, making us want to sacrifice a goat. But no one seemed to have a goat.
Click: once in a lifetime.
And now it is on to 2018, the 50th anniversary of the Fab Four singing "Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, bra. La-la, how the life goes on."
As indeed it does.
