Eclipse

[Joe Appleby]

9:20 AM. 20 mins until the eclipse and we've had 2 reschedules this morning. One lady says it will be too dark and the other wants to enjoy it without our crew in her house.

Yes, they both live in Berkeley, Ca

..and I spelled eclipse wrong in the topic field.

Tell them that post-eclipse prices are higher.

 

[dealtimeman]

It was pretty cool in Kentucky.

 

[Old Coastie]

At maximum here in Alabama. The dark object is a frog turd, in case you've never seen one.

Cloudy in chicago, didn't even get dark...

Thank goodness I didn't spend countless hours looking for pointless glasses...!

 

[encapman]

Couldn't get none of them fancy glasses.
But I'm ready for the eclipse now.

 

[Mikey P]

Only eclipse I saw...

 

[Old Coastie]

See? That is as good an illustration of how encap works as you will ever see!

91% here. Very interesting. Not a lot darker but definitely major temperature drop.

Total Eclipse happen somewhere pretty regularly but last one that covered a major portion of the USA was before I was born. Saw an annular eclipse about 2012 and way back in the early 1960s. But only a 7 year wait until the next total eclipse visible to much of the USA.

My employee kept running outside every 5 minutes and still missed it. Lights never even flickered in the hallways I was cleaning.

It broke the board

I was out on one of the local trails

Couldn't really get any good pics between clouds,lens flare, and using an iPhone

*big bright thing in the middle is not the sun

Was able to use the lens flare to change the position to closer to the plane here...

 

[encapman]

Nice pics Fred. Tried with my iPhone, but didn't get anything as good as yours.

 

[Charlie Lyman]

99.5% here. This is what shadows looked like. Pretty cool.
