There was an eclipse today. I’m pretty sure none of my students were blinded by it; if any of them were, I refuse to take any responsibility for it, as I told them clearly and without qualification that they were not to look at the God damned sun without their glasses on about a thousand times today. Each.
As my focus today was more or less just pure survival, I don’t have a lot else to talk about; attendance was poor but not as bad as I might have expected and beyond the eclipse (which, as an astronomy nerd, was super cool to watch, but everyone knows about it and there’s not much of significance to say) not a whole lot happened today. This week in general is kinda placeholdery, honestly. As an IU grad I support Purdue tonight in theory but I probably will not support them in practice; a 9:00 start time on a Monday is not gonna get me watching sports again, sorry.
(Actually, okay, that’s not quite true: I was, for the second eclipse in a row, convinced that it was going to get a lot darker. We weren’t at totality, but Christ, 97.4% is not that far from totality! And it definitely got darker and the sky looked like it had a filter on it but it’s amazing to think that even getting less than three percent of our usual light from the sun still left enough light to easily see by. The sun is bright, y’all.)

Hi Luther. I am trying to help a friend get her records from Dr Curry’s office and Google led me to your blog. Are you willing to share if you had any success with your father’s records and if the attorney general was any help? or anything that worked? Thank you!

I edited your email address out of your comment just to keep the spambots away from you. I got in touch with the AG’s office again last week and, unfortunately, “we’re still working on it, we promise” was all they could tell me. I’m not going to bother them again until summertime, I think. I assume you’ve already gotten in touch with the AG’s office? If not, let me know and I’ll email you the number.
