the darkness

Highs and lows. Already I'm starting to experience strong emotions with the eclipse. When I first learned of price gouging and hotels and car rental shops cancelling reservations, I was not entirely surprised. But the recent proliferation of fake solar glasses shows that the snake-oil folk are not missing a beat... It struck me that I might experience this a lot on the road trip. And it might be increasingly discouraging. It might cast a pall over the event.
