Four days hence...

[NeuroTypical]

Had it with you humans.  In order to shake you out of your complacency, in four days hence, I will darken the sun as a sign for y'all to clean up your collective acts.

Should you wish to make the most of the experience, I recommend the following.

Leading up to the eclipse:
Eclipse - Pink Floyd
Bark at the Moon - Ozzy Ozborne
The Killing Moon - Echo and the Bunnymen  
When The Bright Lights Grow Dim - Eddie Noack
I put a spell on you - Screamin' Jay Hawkins
Ain't No Sunshine - Bill Withers
Bad Moon Rising - Creedence Clearwater Revival
Blue Moon - Frank Sinatra  
The Moon Rises - EileMonty

During the eclipse:
Total eclipse of the heart - Bonnie Tyler
Ring of Fire -Johnny Cash
Dancing In the Dark - Bruce Springsteen
Paint It, Black - The Rolling Stones
The Sound of Silence - Simon and Garfunkel  
Time - Pink Floyd

As the eclipse receeds:
Here Comes the Sun - Album "Abbey Road"   
Blinded by the Light - Manfred Mann
King Of Pain - The Police   
Why Does The Sun Shine - They Might Be Giants  
A Sky Full Of Stars - Coldplay
You are my sunshine - Johnny Cash

That is awesome.  How long did it take to put this together?

[NeuroTypical]

About 15 minutes during a lunch break, actually.  Google search results for "eclipse playlist", assembled and perfected by yours truly.

Love that cover.  But on Monday, the music makes the eclipse, not the other way around .

I cannot stress how glad I will be when it's over. Answering phones for an eye doctor 40 miles from the path of totality........I kept a tally on Wednesday, and was asked about the eclipse glasses no fewer than ten times between 9 and 11:30. One lady apologetically acknowledged yesterday that she probably wasn't the first person to ask, to which I said, "That's ok. I'm sure I'm not the first person to tell you we don't have any."

Huge disappointment!  The mothership did not arrive.   0/10 would do again.

Without my special glasses I couldn't even tell (here where totality was 93%) except for the cresent shaped images of the sun via the pinhole effect in the trees shadows, and the pleasant temperature. Pfft, fake news.
