Best shot I saw of the eclipse yesterday.

Looks like the cover of David Bowie or Pink Floyd album.

52 percent chance clouds are going to **** up viewing for the paper I'm working on tomorrow. Anybody got any "clouds in my coffee" headline ideas?

There was a paper not far from me that had three sentences on the solar eclipse viewing being a "bust" and a "dud" because of the clouds. The story misspelled clouds.
