“You’re So Vain” – Carly Simon

Then you flew your Learjet up to Nova Scotia to see the total eclipse of the sun.

This line from "You're So Vain" references a real event—the solar eclipse of July 10, 1972. In North America, it was only visible as a total eclipse in northern Alaska, Northern Canada, eastern Quebec, and the Canadian Maritimes (including Nova Scotia).

Enjoy today's solar eclipse if you're in area where you can see it. Where I live, I'll only be able to see clouds in my coffee, clouds in my coffee...

We had a significant darkening of the sky but I was in an online meeting when it happened so I couldn't step outside. It was weird having a blue sky and then it getting pretty dark.

@sarabee1995 It's a shame you couldn't take a break to go outside and see it, but what you did see/experience sounds pretty cool.

We were far removed from the path of totality (it was cloudy as well), so it basically was a non-event here.
