Let me clear the air. I'm always down to go to the zoo with you. I will cancel plans just to go to the aquarium. The siren song of 6ft natural history museum haunts me. I'm thinking about botanical gardens as we speak.
We report about colours that are more akin to flavours - peach and raspberry and apricot and so on. We have to hurry up, our expert is waiting for us; the evening passes on, dissolves into greys before blues, and then the absence of colours. We try not to forget how it tasted.
We report: we might go into the clouds and never make it back someday. Nobody would know where we went. We think about it, often, as if it were something that could really happen. Today, we stare up at this massive edifice that encompasses the whole sky, and we are already there.
Eclipse Reminder - Earth is the only planet that we know of that has a perfect solar eclipse, since our moon happens to be about the exact same size as our sun when seen from the surface.
As far as we know this is a coincidence, and about a one in a trillion bit of luck.
