Darkness

April 8th. The day a narrow sliver of the contiguous United States will next experience a total solar eclipse. 

Thirteen states fall directly in the path of the upcoming eclipse, the phenomenon of the moon passing directly in front of the sun, thrusting those in its wake into an eerie midday darkness. 

The pricing of Airbnb rentals located in these areas have skyrocketed. Schools have been given the day off. And me? I'm busy constructing my cereal box viewfinder so I can safely watch this astronomical sensation.

Given the next eclipse isn't expected until August 23, 2044, it's time to grab that old Cheerios’ box out of the recycling bin. You don't want to miss this one!
