California Dreamin'... of a Solar Eclipse?
Aw man, dust off your sunglasses (not those ones though!), because there's no epic eclipse happening in California today, May 12th, 2024. But hey, don't let that get you down! California has plenty of sunshine to offer, perfect for working on that tan (safely, of course).
Here's the truth about the eclipse: it's not quite California's time to shine... well, not in the eclipse way. But fear not, future eclipse enthusiasts! California will have its day in the (not quite total) shade.
Tip: Take a sip of water, then continue fresh.
