I find nature fascinating, but a total solar eclipse is commonplace and in my opinion, quite boring.
They occur regularly, twice a year is normal and they have happened up to 5 times in a year.
If you are determined to see them and don’t mind travelling to remote areas then you will see a total eclipse more often than a Christmas dinner.
The phenomenon that I have found interesting in the past is that the birds stop singing for the minute or so of the eclipse and the dogs stop barking.
Interesting, but not so much as to make me go out of my way to experience it.
Our closest big city is Valencia which is right in the path of totality.
However, the eclipse will happen just before sunset and people have been advised to travel to nearby Castellón where there is a clearer, unobstructed view, with no tall buildings.
For the past week we have been given dire warnings.
Don’t look directly into the sun.
I don’t think that it’s possible for anyone to look directly into the sun.
Your reflex reaction would be to look away, to shut your eyes or at least shade them.
Nobody can possibly sit looking into the sun directly.
You don’t need to warn anyone not to hold their hand in a fire.
Even the most stupid of people have a reflex, self preservation mechanism.
So the warning is daft and unnecessary.
But some fucking cunt has decided that all the overhead motorway signs are changed today.
Instead of warning about broken down vehicles, nearby roadworks, danger of wildfires or traffic speed cameras ahead, all the signs are telling us not to drive while wearing eclipse glasses.
For fuck’s sake!
Total solar eclipses are a load of astral wank.
