    People were quite literally standing out in the streets, and waving to one another, gesturing... although I'm not sure if that was due to the eclipse, or shock at seeing that we still have stars and galaxies and lovely stellar things up in the, um, the, uh, oh, ya,  sky, I believe it's called... + + = ???

(oh, right, evry where else is East! Everywhere else is East!   darn it, I'm already taking it back, I'm already taking it back.!!!!...)
