Yes BJ.  She is blind.  Not completely, I think she can see light shades.

Just finished it here, pretty cool, total lasted about 2 minutes. Birds stoped moving, crickets started and cooled a lot. You can look at it when it is in total and it really looked wild. You could also see the stars. Guess it was worth cutting my nap short. Pappy

I asked my wife if she saw the eclipse? She said no you have to look at that at night.lol I don't think she quite understands the science behind it yet.

Clint that's what I was thinking. Looks like your dog was enjoying the eclipse all the same.

Pappy glad you cut your nap short. A total eclipse would be worth having someone wake me up for.

Well, that was super cool. Heavy rain this a.m. lots of clouds, then the sun came out and we had our eclipse, street lights came on, cicadas chirping, and then it was over. Wonder if the t-shirts go on sale now?  :)

Ecliptical tiller   ;D



Ha ha! Post of the month!  It was about 80% here.  It didn't get as dark as I expected.  The neat thing was that cicadas started making noise and moths started coming out.

We had about 92-95% here.  Got cooler and sort of sunset like.  Made a viewer with a pinhole in a cardboard and a piece of paper.  Burnt some sage, and watched the totality on the tube!  Heard traffic was 15-20 mph out of Casper, WY afterwards!  Next try Texas in '24!  Maybe enough time to find some glasses >:D!

Paul, you might want to hang on to them. :-)

Next one is 2024, and according to path, we can see one in Dallas, Little Rock and a few other major cities.

Road Trip?
