Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
It's too warm for me outside, but I might step out for a few minutes at as close to the totality as central NC is going to see.
Meanwhile, I'm sitting in one of the library's reading rooms, which I'm sharing with a couple of extraordinarily dedicated students who don't seem to care that something is about to swallow the sun.
Very much end of the day lighting here. A bit longer and I should see street lights. And I did not need that full reflection off the shiny semi-truck going down the freeway. I've got spots.
I went outside and there's definitely a piece missing from the sun. So that's cool.

For real, now that it's started and I'm seeing it, I'm having a totally atavistic response where the eclipse is creeping me OUT. What are you doing, Steph's brain?
Still pretty sunny here, right now. I expect to be fully creeped out in about half an hour.

I'm getting the gnawing feeling that I should be going home, it so dark outside. I expect to be depressed in an hour.
No visible streetlights yet, but there definitely should be.
edit: Just stood up, and there are streetlights on further down the valley!
It's the Skygoat. We all knew this day would come.
First contact here about a half hour ago, and we'll hit totality in just under an hour. I'll be outside with Rose's class when it happens. Exciting!
Co-worker: If I don't get superpowers by the end of the day, I'm going to be pissed!
And getting slowly lighter.
Pictures on FB just made me realize that if I'd planned better (or at all), I could be floating in the pool and watching the eclipse.
