Eclipse over Texas

[Texas Clodhopper]

Just a few of our closest friends stopped by.

I forgot these.

I can’t see a damn thing. I just checked the sun here in VA and it’s not covered yet. How long does it take to see again?

 

[Neal]

You can watch it on YouTube for those interested. NASA etc.

This is the view during totality.

 

[Neal]

The moon is slow. It's taking forever here in VA. Moon needs a thruster upgrade! My meatstick can't even detect the temperature changes. Smells some, but not working otherwise.

 

[Texas Clodhopper]

Stop! I'm not going to ask how Elli is feeling about you having "meatstick". Poor little girl.

 

[Texas Clodhopper]

You can laugh all you want too. I bet Ellie ain't laughing as a matter of fact, she may be planning her getaway as we speak.

 

[Neal]

Yeah yeah yeah, she's my little princess, no need to worry. Back to regular programming...still medium light here in VA.

Our next-door neighbors have chickens and they were hysterical to watch. About 45 minutes before totality they went back to their coop for about 10 minutes and then came back out. Right before totality, they went back in, and an hour later they were still in their coop. It only stayed nighttime dark for about 3 minutes.

Was supposed to be close to 70% here in Florida. Just looked like some clouds blocked the sun for a bit.

That is amazing the photo in Texas, it didn't get that dark in our town, Angola

You know everything is bigger, brighter, and darker in Texas.
