Either way, an eclipse is pretty cool. I like them because they make me pause for a moment and appreciate just how very small I am in the big scheme of things. And they mess with my chicken's brains. Which is always funny.
Whale watching has returned to the coast. I'm glad that it makes people happy to watch for the spouts of these magnificent mammals. It's not my cup of tea but I enjoy seeing others get excited by the short blasts of spray emanating from their blowholes (the whale's not the viewers). There are many visitor centers that have state sponsored hosts to show visitors where to look and how to spot a spout.Â
