A FOND MEMORY

There was a solar eclipse in 1968. I was 11 years old. I had a telescope, and bought a cheap camera that would attach to the telescope so that I could film the eclipse. The Senator told me if I looked at the eclipse I would go blind, then he would beat my ass for letting myself get blinded.

It was overcast that day. I got no pictures, nor did I get blinded.

You sure that wasn't March, 1970?

1968, and I slept thru the damn thing.

Probably was, Elisson. I live on a very loosy-goosy calendar. 1970? Sure. Why not?
