Yesterday’s solar eclipse brought some really great light to Cascade Canyon in Fairfax. Check out these pictures of the side of our house. Usually this is just a wall of filtered sun, but yesterday we got all these crescents from where the moon was taking out the sun.

As reported in the IJ, “Overall, Marin schools continued to perform well on the API, a number from 200 to 1,000 that reflects a school’s results on several statewide tests. At least 46 Marin schools reported API scores of 800 or more – the state standard for academic achievement – including every school in the Bolinas-Stinson, Dixie and Tamalpais districts. As many as 25 schools reported scores of 900 or higher, including every school in the Kentfield, Larkspur, Mill Valley, Reed, Ross and Ross Valley districts.”
