One hour from the start here in Hickville.


I've got my slingshot ready to repel all invaders to the compound lol.

News says the weather will interfere with the eclipse in Texas. I think it will still happen, we just might not have a good view. Journalists have, in theory, studied English. Idiots.

LOL. Nope, you're wrong. Clouds make the eclipse not happen. They completely change the orbit of the moon.


'Journalists'

Being mighty nice and respectful to those news hacks. I have different words for them.

We survived. It's an omen from the Gods.

I took picture.

I have to admit, it was pretty darn cool. Got fairly dark here. I was able to look straight at the Sun with no special glasses.

I took a picture as well. I'd post it, but the forum demands I resize it first.

It was a very Unique experience. I saw it from Ourdees front yard in Indianapolis.

Cloudy, so spooky and cool, instead of spectacular and good pictures.

Still fun, streetlights came on, birds landed in trees and shut up, then rebooted to morning calls.

Cool deal Crusty, I bet you and RD had a good time.

Bummer it was cloudy for you Patrick! My view was unobstructed and pretty spectacular I have to say. I was right smack in the center of the path. My friend out in CA, said they couldn't see shit, so I have to count myself as lucky to have witnessed it.

For such an Apocalypto event, I was glad to see people didn't go nuts on a mass level lol!

I heard tell that some guy was going to inflate 1000 blow up dolls with helium and let them go during the eclipse making people think the rapture was happening!!

My view:

Great Shot! That's a gorgeous picture right there!

Much better than mine, which was taken with a cheap Samsung Galaxy Phone with no type of filter or dark lens.
