Kickass, the doorstop dog, notes that the keeper has prepared for the eclipse by practice napping and will be more than ready when the solar system shades are briefly pulled today.
Contrary to the inane blather from MTG the brainless congressional scarecrow identifying the eclipse as a Divine signal, the keeper sees the eclipse as a simple advertising gimmick from the fossil fuel folks—”This is what we can and will do if the move to renewable energy continues.”
Should the eclipse turn into the Rapture, as some are predicting, the keeper will be holding the ladder for Phyllis and hoping he remembers to bring along his meds.
Big money is definitely involved in the eclipse and the commoners need to be cautious about billionaires’ offers for rides to Mars.
Traveling hundreds of miles to get a better eclipse viewing seat seems akin to moving the patio recliner into the shade to watch the sunset
But who is the keeper to get judgmental when he has been known to abandon spectacular natural phenomena such as double rainbows in favor of dinner or the cocktail hour?
