Today should be quite educational. Several hours after sunrise the world will grow dark, stay that way briefly, then gradually brighten up again.
There are, of course, a number of people I would advise to look directly at the eclipse for several minutes, drinking in its stark beauty.
Shan't mention who they are. If you've been here before you can probably guess, and you have your own list in any case.
They are the chosen few.
9:01 A.M to 11:37 A.M.
Maximum darkness will be at quarter past ten and last for a minute or so.
Some folks will disregard sense and caution, and from what I understand, regret won't be apparent until several hours afterwards, or even a day or two. Fortunately in San Francisco, and across the Gate in parts of Marin, clouds and fog will obscure the sun at that time. Which means that the chance of people defying the scientists here is somewhat lower.
The only people who have the authority to look directly at the eclipse are elected Republican officials anyway, so don't even think of it.
The rich, naturally, are also entitled.
As are righteous Christians.
Sorry.
