That's a bummer. I still haven't decided if I want to go in to the office tomorrow like they want, or take off and go golfing, since it's supposed to be beautiful out.

Same here. But a little warmer this week, so maybe some relief on the way.

They were definitely pressing the conflatable words today. I had to keep resisting the urge to submit until I was absolutely sure. It was "monocle" that finally got through the brain chaos.

Passed by multiple houses on our way over that had people on their front lawns in chairs getting set up. And a whole group of people in front of the kids' school with telescopes and cameras galore.

CNS. He had it timed out so "Eclipse" came on right as it reached totality. He timed it well.

Also, that was pretty fucking cool.
Ours was not total, and although cool to see with eclipse glasses on, it's been darker on a random cloudy day.

The weirdest part was that on the horizon, it looked like sunset, but on every horizon. No matter which way you looked, it looked like the sun was setting there.

The wife managed a few pretty good pics.
