"I'm Being Followed by a Moon Shadow"

I looked into the ongoing debate between those who think the earth is flat and those who can prove it is a globe by various means. I thought about it while looking at several different maps of the earth's surface, and I remembered one during the 2017 total Solar Eclipse. Take a look at the path of the Moon's shadow across the globe of the Earth during any Total solar eclipse. When viewed on a FLAT map of the Earth, it is always curved one way and then bends and curves the other way. It's actual path can be confirmed by millions of first hand observations of people on the ground in the path of totality and verifying the place of the shadow and the time it went over them. I was one of them; in 1975 in Goldendale, WA. and in 2017 in Stanley, ID The only way the moon's shadow's path can be a straight line, would be to wrap that flat map around a Globe and plot its transit from point to point. Lo and behold, the snake-like path of the Moon's shadow during a Solar Eclipse becomes a straight line across the sphere of the Earth. The Moon doesn't wander this way and then that in the sky. It has a perfectly circular path around the Earth - like Flat-earthers say themselves.
The only way the path of the Moon's shadow can wiggle across a FLAT map of the Earth, and real live observers on the ground verify its position and the time it passed, is if the Earth is not flat at all, but a spherical Globe. If the earth were really flat, then the Moon's shadow would have to chart a straight line across the surface of the ground on a flat map. -- It does not.
