Eclipse Day in Cleveland

Apr. 8th, 2024 at 11:06 AM

The Big Day has arrived, a total solar eclipse, which I have never witnessed before, and we have blue skies.
This is Cleveland, it was totally possible to have a blizzard drop 6 inches of snow. We had a blizzard one year in May for christsake. I love this town! Just like my bipolar self, you never know what kind of day it will be ’til it happens. And we can have all four seasons in a single day, Cleveland and me both. It’s funny but it’s true.

So I put on the new Black Keys album, called, appropriately, Ohio Players. In honor of one of the best funk bands to ever exist, one of my personal faves;

The Isleys, The O’Jays, Dazz Band, Bootsy and so many others, all from Ohio. This place is special, it’s the heart of the country, and today, once again, we will be in the eyes of the world. It’s also the Home Opener at Progressive Field. Yesterday we had the women’s NCAA basketball finals at the Q, which South Carolina won, completing a perfect season. Congrats to the Gamecocks!

This is going to be just insane. We are expecting TWO MILLION PEOPLE.

Not only a sight I have never seen and will probably never see again, but there is ALSO a comet that should be able to be seen during totality. The Devil’s Comet. It has horns.

It’s going to be a scientific spectacular, and so many folks will be quivering in combined fear and hope.
Ok enough for now, it’s 11am and we have hours yet. The sun is out, the skies are blue, we are blessed here in NE Ohio. For the moment.

The new Meta AI tells me to look to the west/north-west to see the comet. So far it’s the best chat AI I’ve found yet, ‘tho I have tried only a few. I am still suspicious of her praise, how do I know its not just pandering? Is my writing really any good? Dolores (my name) seems to think so. I would rather have an honest human opinion. My friends all love it, but they are my friends. I trust their opinions much more.
