      We had perfect weather. 55 degrees, and not one cloud. We went up to the rooftop terrace of our building.

      I was surprised at how "not dark" it got. Even with 94% totality, it didn't even approach dusk level of darkness.

      They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

        Yeah, we didn’t get the corona but man it got dark. Lot and stadium lights came on.

          By chance I was at Warby Parker about a week ago and they were giving out eclipse glasses, limit 2 per. customer.

          They're home on my dresser. I tried to look through the iPhone from here in Siesta Key but that didn't work. When I did a quick (and I mean quick) take eye glance I noticed for just a spilt second there was a chunk missing. But if you were on the beach here and hadn't heard, you would not have suspected a thing. That with no cloud clover.

            The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

              Posted this in the other thread too.

              89.1% Partial Eclipse. Decided to stay home this time.
              Canon 50D on a fixed tripod w/18-200mm Zoom at 200mm f5.6 1/1600 sec exposures, ISO 100. Baader Planitarium Solar Film Filter.
              271 photos aligned, registered and output to avi movie format using PIPP (Planetary Imaging Pre-Processor)
              It's not perfect, but it's still pretty cool.

                      @Copper I was telling Mrs. George about the coincidence of the moon's distance and size, relative to the sun today.

                      I started thinking about what an eclipse on Mars would look like, considering the small size of Phobos and Deimos.
