I'm having a totally atavistic response where the eclipse is creeping me OUT
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.
Luckily, now you have seven years to plan!
Niece just called me and she has qualifying welder's helmet and a homemade viewer. I'll be heading there shortly.
I managed to figure out a spot outside without being in direct sunlight.
M and I were picnicking in his yard. Walked to the park and realized it was nicer at his hiuse. Did pick up eclipse glasses and now we are in the shade at his house playing Fluxx and enjoying the day
