I don’t get why people get excited about Amazon chains and plain white tee-shirts, and overpaying guys that play 60 games/year….yet here we are
October 14, 20232 yr Whoa it looks bizarre outside. Hadn't really been paying attention but just walked out here.

October 14, 20232 yr Out looking at the annular solar eclipse - using two layers of eye doctor’s roll-up dark celluloid film, plus two pairs of extremely dark sun glasses. The eclipse looked yellow with about 5/6 totality since we were slightly off the center path.
October 14, 20232 yr Best one I could get. So cool seeing kiddos outside with their parents. Getting all excited and all that. 😎
October 14, 20232 yr Maximum here near Navasota through a colander. It's not as neat as the shadows through the trees, but pretty cool, still. It's not completely focused because my wife is short.

October 14, 20232 yr My son still has his special solar eclipse glasses his school gave him from the last solar eclipse. We took turns having a look a moment ago. Clear skies and amazing view of a thin crescent sun. Surreal.

October 14, 20232 yr Both my kids could have seen it, but sadly it’s cloudy in Eugene. Boy 1 saw it in San Antonio and said it was one of the coolest things he’s ever done.
October 14, 20232 yr My daughter in Eugene was pretty bummed about the clouds, but did get a pretty decent picture before maximum.

October 14, 20232 yr This is a bust. I thought it'd be way darker out even with the ring.Can’t wait to see your Yelp review.

October 14, 20232 yr That was a lot of fun. I got my normally "home-ridden" 82 year old mother outside and interested and my kids saw their first. The inside effects were cool too. PSA for future one, the libraries give away glasses and our local one also had a telescope with filter for close up view. Though I'm sure April will be nutty and packed at official locations.

At its darkest, butterflies started swarming out of nowhere and some hawks that were around got off of their perches and flew in erratic circles. No four leggers were to be seen. Animals are more attuned to sun and moon phases than we are. An event like today’s must really set them into tailspins.

October 14, 20232 yr Didn't look but was cool biking down Alamo Street in San Antonio and seeing peeps bursting out the doors of local establishments and looking at the skies and a few minutes later in Hemisfair Park hearing a faint collective gasp and applause. Anything that gets people amped about the same thing and doesn't hurt anyone else, I'm for.
October 14, 20232 yr I didn’t know there was a partial eclipse today. I woke up from a catnap when it was happening. I recognized that the light was weird. Thought I was going blind.

October 15, 20232 yr ah! myein eyes! ze googles, zey do nothing! Family meeting tonight, we've all agreed that the children have dentist's appointments for the next Monday eclipse and can't make school. So we're going camping Sunday night and staying to watch the eclipse closer to the totality path.
October 15, 20232 yr Popular Post Went to my kids’ elementary school in west SA and took my 8” dobsonian. I ordered a 12” piece of solar film drunk engineered a slip on solar filter last night. I probably had close to 75 kids and family use it for a few seconds so I’m definitely getting conjunctivitis. And yeah I need to stop skipping leg day.

October 16, 20232 yr Yeah, what are the odds he develops a huge melanoma on his face during a solar eclipse?
