Last night a bunch of random people from work went out to the docks by my apartment and we watched the eclipse-sunset. It was lovely. Purple and pink setting next to the light house. I really don't know how to describe it in words, and, unfortunately, I don't have the photography talent to take a picture of it. I think I must of looked at it a bit too much though, because I have a bit of a headache this morning.

Afterwards we went to a Beer Garden (a la Switzerland, but not nearly as nice) and just hung out for a while.

Today, Apache is involved in a grand experiment. I dropped her off in Gavin and Jen's backyard this morning - they live pretty close to my apartment. They have an adorable full-grown lab puppy and the two of them play very well. Anyway, they were playing happily when I was there watching this morning. But the minute I closed the fence, Apache started yipping and whining for me. So, we'll see if this turns out to be a great thing for both our dogs (theirs gets bored during the day too), and in that case, I'll drop her off a few times a week. Or it might turn out to be a bad thing (they received an anonymous note a while back complaining that their dog barked too much, and now they think that the note-sender is occasionally throwing rocks over the fence). The hope is, the companionship will alleviate the boredome and the therefore the need to bark so much. That is, after Apache gets over the trauma of being abandonned in this random yard.
