Solar Ecplise

This kind of event supposedly happens every 20 years or so, so a few times in one's lifetime. I wanted to watch it with someone, so I ride my bike over to my friend's, hoping she was home. She was, and tired of being indoors and packing, she was ready to go for a walk. She wasn't psyched about it at all, or even cared, but we did go for a walk. Being on the North Coast on all, of course there's a storm system coming in at the end of May, so it was mostly cloudy. However... The reason I'm even posting anything is because I had a particular experience, which is that as we were walking down the street to my most favorite playground in this town, a wind blew the scent of the ocean to us. Yes, we're on the bay and less than five miles from the beach, but in all my years here, I haven't ever smelled the ocean whilein town. It was cool and fresh and just, weird. The fog's in, and just above the marine layer is a real storm, so I can't even see the sun; don't know if it's eclipsed. Don't know anything but that it's the first time I've smelled the ocean on that street, and it was amazing.
