A coworker just gave me glasses!

I can report that partial eclipse has started here.
I missed the magical moment at 11:11 (on the phone rescheduling a Dr. appt), but I got out there at 11:14 (and had checked it out at 10:45). I heard the mailman coming so I stayed on the sidewalk and let him hand deliver my mail. Then let him borrow my glasses (thanks, SD Library!) so he could see it. I swear it reminded me so much of the Oreo cookie rendering that you see all over FB that it was a little meh. Maybe the photo a friend posted from a genuine totality has now spoiled me for just being in the path?
I'm jealous of the eclipse watchers! It's so cloudy here, you can't even tell that there's a sliver supposedly missing.
Here it just kind of looked like a big cloud passed over.
Proof of eclipse on my Facebook!
I watched live NASA coverage on my work computer like the big giant slacker I am and went out and viewed partial through a coworker’s glasses. I still enjoy a hole in paper approach though.
Whole lotta nothin' going on -ma, Epic!
Ain't~nothing~ma, Epic.
My son called me to say it got real dark outside. Cloud cover but they could see the tiny bit of sun left since it was 99.5% where he lives. He met one of his neighbors, so at least it got him out of the house.
I can’t imagine not driving to where it was 100% if it was that close!
I am afraid my dance weekend event may end up on Fox News. We had some dance troupe performances Saturday night. One of them from the local country radio station’s group of ladies. Sure, whatever. But someone’s been posting that they were asked to leave and not perform because they were wearing patriotic outfits. I did see some folks during rehearsal time in American flag looking tank tops. I asked our people and they claimed no, they weren’t asked by anyone official to leave, but that attendees were upset by the outfits (?!!!) and that the dancers were offended people were upset and therefore left. But it’s being claimed the dancers were asked to leave and…ugh. Don’t want to be on Fox News!! Also rolling my eyes at people who are Big Mad about American flag apparel. Is it conservative coded? Sure. Is it offensive? No. (Had it been confederate flag shirts absolutely would’ve supported asking them to leave. But it wasn’t)
