Yes, the world does seem to be shuddering – though the eclipse passing our way can’t really be blamed on human misbehavior.

The nearing eclipse has brought back to my mind one of the first books I ever read and thoroughly enjoyed: Twain’s A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court with its climactic eclipse of the sun.

Feel  lucky  the eclipse is passing up Vermont’s way.  And the predictions are for a sunny day!  Unusual lately, with a couple feet of snow still on the ground.
