sunny side of the street is dark

I am quite the cynic when I choose to be.....but I must admit that yesterday's eclipse was pretty cool....hundreds of people came out of their offices and stood on Washington Blvd ( soon to be renamed crispus attucks avenue) to watch the spectacular air show......very different scene than in 1979 when the Nuns in O.L.A. closed the shades on the classroom windows, fearing the eclipse would blind us and make us go Mad..........well Sister Rita Ann....we can still see....but the eclipse may have tainted our water supply as increasing levels of insanity seem to follow that graduating class in 1979......anyhow, NASA was so impressed by the response of ordinary Americans across the country that the said they will have another eclipse next Monday , for those folks who missed yesterdays.....unfortunately tho....ESPN has purchased the television rights and vowed to move the eclipse to 9:18 P.M. Eastern standard time......well until Buffalo 2024 I'll just see you on the Dark Side of the Moon.
