Is it Dark Yet, California?
So, you’re sitting there, staring at the sky, muttering something about cosmic alignments and shadows dancing. Don't worry, you're not alone. Half of California seems to be experiencing a collective case of eclipse anxiety. It's like we’re all waiting for the big celestial show to start and someone forgot to send out the invites.
The Great California Eclipse Wait
Let’s be honest, we Californians are used to waiting for things: traffic, good weather, and apparently, eclipses. But this one feels different. It's like the universe is playing a cosmic game of hide-and-seek with us. And we're starting to get impatient.
Pro Tip: Don’t look directly at the sun without proper eye protection. You might end up with sunglasses that say "Oops, I looked at the eclipse without glasses" on them. Trust me, it's not a good look.
Eclipse or Not, Life Goes On
While we're all patiently (or impatiently) waiting for the moon to take a bite out of the sun, let's remember that life goes on. You can still enjoy your coffee, binge-watch your favorite show, or pretend you're an astronaut exploring the solar system. Just don't forget to check the time every five minutes.
Eclipse Etiquette
If you're lucky enough to witness the eclipse, remember to share the experience with others. But please, no unsolicited eclipse facts. We get it, you're excited, but not everyone wants to hear about the Saros cycle.
And for Pete's sake, don't start a solar eclipse party and then forget to invite the neighbors. That's just rude.
