Eclipse

Well, the eclipse is over here in Larimer county. It was a nice clear day but the wife and I weren't particularly impressed. It was supposed to be about 95% total here. It just looked like the sun went behind a cloud. We had the glasses and it looked like it was supposed to through them only it didn't get very dark. I was in an eclipse in Anchorage in 1963. It was 98.4% total. It got noticeably dusk. It was a lot more impressive.

Not much happened here in Abbeville, either, Leonard. Pretty much like a cloudy day as you described, a dud. Perhaps a do-over is needed.

Here in the San Francisco bay area, you probably guest it was over cast but just thin enough to see the eclipse with naked eyes :shock:
Kinda cool but like watchin paint dry, I dont get all the excitement :?:
