'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
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.
I’m so glad it was nothing worse, Epic!
We had clear skies and ~75% coverage here, so I went out to my parking lot with a colander and a camera for science. Some of my neighbors joined me. Since I’m in a local astronomy group this has been on my radar for a while, and I had a 6-pack of glasses to hand out. (I may never be so prepared for anything ever again.) I work with a bunch of fellow nerds so they were all cool with me being away from my desk for an hour or so—most of them were, too.
We had sunny, clear skies here too. Totality was actually much more spectacular than the one in 2017—it got as dark as late evening twilight, far more than I expected. Very humbling experience, to think we're standing being awestruck by the same phenomenon that amazed and terrified people thousands of years ago.
Continued nothing-ma for epic. So glad the news was good.
I can’t imagine not driving to where it was 100% if it was that close!
It was very cloudy, and his girlfriend had to work, so he didn't make the short drive. Her work people went out into the parking lot.
I love hearing everyone's eclipse experiences!
Also rolling my eyes at people who are Big Mad about American flag apparel. Is it conservative coded? Sure. Is it offensive? No.
The whole thing sounds absurd. When I was a young teen hippie chick we all wore flag clothing.
Epic, keeping the ~ma flowing. Good to hear the results of the scan, and shame on them for leaving you so long!!
Oy, Cupid pooped at the top of the landing which I didn't see in the early morning gloom. So I tromped all in it on my way out the door with her for the morning walk. And now I've been scrubbing it out of the carpet. A fine way to start the day.
Fortunately this is the crappy (pun intended) stairway carpet which is worn and frayed.
Continued -ma, Epic!!
Shitty way to start the day, David. I wish I didn't know this experience.
Timelies all!
I ended up watching livestreams of the eclipse because I didn't have either eclipse glasses or a viewer. One of my co-workers tried to make a viewer, but it didn't work.
Oh, Epic. Many vibes for the best possible outcome. When do you know the biopsy results? May the treatment be effective with minimal discomfort. So sorry it wasn't better news.
not likely to ever "beat cancer"
Right there with you.
