Today, there happens to be a total eclipse over North America meaning I have a good chance at seeing it occur for what is a “once-in-a-lifetime” event.  Supposedly the last time this occurred was in 1776, which was a momentous year.  Will this year be as big a deal?  I do know that this time around, disc jockeys on the radio are getting great play out of sun related songs like “staring at the sun” and they feel awfully clever about it.  Although I guess if I was on the air in college and something like this occurred, i’d probably have my own solar eclipse playlist so I can’t chastise them for it.
