The Joy of Vicarious Eclipse Watching

While I didn't go anywhere there was an eclipse, reading the reports of those who did get themselves to where eclipse viewing was available has been lovely. Some lucky people only had to get themselves outside their domicile to view it. Some traveled significant distances. If they wrote about it, I'm sharing their delight in it now.

Have you seen any accounts of it that you particularly liked reading? A phrase or two that delighted you, made you think, caught your curiosity?

things Juan says when I'm sorting beads

Well, OK, just one particular thing. But it still makes me laugh as if it's the first time. Long ago he poked his head into my workshop while I was sorting in some new beads, and said cheerfully, "Counting flax seeds, sweetie?"

(Half a century ago, there were stories about supernatural creatures that could be distracted if one strewed seeds in front of them, because they'd start counting the seeds and not be able to stop until they'd done all of them.)

Edited to add: Whether or not the supernatural creatures had ADHD with hyperfocus the way I do is an open question, I guess.
