It's eclipse day! We originally had reservations in Rochester, but with my aunt being sick and the weather forecast for mostly cloudy up there we canceled and I'm just going to drive down to my parents and watch it from there. It's about 80% coverage here in Jersey so it should still be a pretty dramatic event :).

Between the earthquake (4.8) on Friday, and the eclipse I know people are saying it's the end of times, God is angry, etc. For me, it's just exciting to see and feel so much happening. Natural phenomenons are something that you just experience as they occur, and there's no reasons for them. I see it much as I do the national parks; did someone create the Yellowstone geysers, the Grand Canyon, Bryce needle rocks, the Painted Desert? Nature is its own force and can be immensely powerful. We just watch and admire when we can.
