In less than two weeks, millions of Americans will witness day turn to
night as the moon blocks out the light from the sun, but there is more to
the celestial spectacle than many think.
While all attention will be on the sun and the moon, many people's
surroundings will change during the brief moments of totality.
Subtle differences may be noticed in areas that only experience a
partial solar eclipse, but much bigger changes will take place along the
narrow path from Oregon to South Carolina that see a total eclipse of the
sun.

ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
