Your logic does not blend will with this administration though. ANY other time, and everyone would sagely nod and agree- but not this time. I DON’T GET IT.

Sadly, they are also everyone else’s worst enemy too. If they would just spontaneously combust from their terminal stupidity and venality well away from any crowd, that would probably be the best.

No kidding. I would have loved to go to that celebration. Imagine just lying there with your eyes closed and listening to that music while the sky darkens and it gets cold all of a sudden. Otherworldly. Reminds us we are at the mercy of the elements and have no power over the celestial, solar and lunar dance.

As I had NO IDEA this eclipse was happening, the whole event was a bit of a surprise to me. Yep- a bit too spendy for me. Though really cool.

NO THANK YOU

Just saw some advert for a super eclipse party in August that includes the Sun Ra Orchestra. Good timing.

Then you must be absolutely ADORABLE!

I rank the numbness from celery right up there with eating raw spinach and getting that weird feeling on my teeth from oxalic acid. Eating healthy food should not result in uncomfortable feelings inside one’s mouth. It’s discouragement and someone should fix it. I’m going to write a letter.

Or, maybe they just snort it?

I would be very interested to know what his response would be.

Well, they got right down to brass tacks the last time I went to a post convention corporate unpacking. People needed to be told basics like not to poop in the hotel hot tub. Like, “We’re not going to mention any names for reasons of privacy, but if you have diarrhea, please don’t use the hotel pool and hot tub when…

I BET IT WAS! Sausage and pasta goes so well. Any kind. My local butcher makes a sundried tomato/ basil sausage that is absolutely killer in pasta.
