I've been cheated!

I went out to the front lawn of my apartment building and sat under 
a tree for an hour and a half, waiting to see the light show of 
myriad little eclipse-images amongst the shadows, like I read 
about in a Stephen Jay Gould (!) article: this apparation on a 
Manhattan sidewalk attracted a crowd of people who hadn't even known 
that an eclipse was scheduled for that day. 

No light show under the tree. Oh, well, it was a pleasant afternoon 
with a nice breeze.

And Tim couldn't make the eclipse image come through a little hole in 
one paper onto another paper (or wall, or floor....). He claimed that 
technique had worked for him in the past.

So I looked at the sun with my eyes, and saw the big bite taken out 
of it.
