All I wanted to do was support an independent film, and now this toilet is being very familiar with me. I blame @BestLucasEubank. Maybe if you chip in, the toilet will talk to you and stop fixating on me? I can't take this much lavatorial attention!

Yes, the Bureau is aware of today's eclipse.
The Bureau recommends:
Guided meditation to ease eclipse anxiety
The Bureau does NOT recommend:
Holding your breath for the duration of the eclipse
And remember, only you can prevent veil thinning events.

In a world where only the Sun's light protects the veil between our realm and what lies beyond, a mysterious agency stands watch as an eclipse blankets the nation in darkness.

3 phases of an Annular Solar #Eclipse
1. Pre-annularity when the Sun is partially eclipsed by the Moon as it approaches alignment.
2. Post-annularity as Moon moves out of alignment and again partially eclipses the Sun.
3. Annularity where the Sun is completely eclipsed by clouds.

Some photos from the Northern end of the Guadalupe River before it empties into the San Francisco Bay from early September. Starting with a Turkey Vulture flying directly overhead, then some "Great" (Blue Heron and Egret) birds, and finally the sunset.

Máyyan ‘Ooyákma (Coyote Ridge) from early September. Lots of great views of the valley and surrounding hills, and even a hawk.

An afternoon at Alviso Marina in late August. The water was *so* pink (I guess the salt content has gone up since the last time I was there). Not many birds around other than the gulls, but the day ended with some great colors in the sky at sunset.

@NHUU Thanks!

Sunset at Don Edwards National Wildlife Refuge last night. It's always good to look opposite the sunset as well to see the landscape in the last light of the day, but here I was treated to a brief (double) rainbow (partway across the sky)!

Pretty sure no one in the TV academy knows about KOllOK or how to pronounce it but somehow we made it to nomination round voting!!!

Can you all let the Emmys voters know why they should consider #KOllOK for Outstanding Emerging Media Program???

GOD ONLY KNOWS WHAT I'D BE WITHOUT YOU...

Whenever I play Bioshock Infinite, I HAVE to stop & listen to the barbershop quartet sing this tune. I loved it so much that I decided to give it a go!

Enjoy God Only Knows by the Beach Boys,
as sung by the Bee Sharps of Columbia! 🐝🎶
