And it hasn't happened in the US in 40 years?

      I'm at DTW now, scheduled to take off at 1:45. Curious as to how the eclipse will look like from the air.

        Much like looking into a Gorgon's eyes, in that it'll be the last thing you'll ever see.

              We had thick cloud cover here, detracting quite a bit from the event.

                  Nice day for it. Took the LGF out for a peek. She doesn't care, but it was neat to share that little bit with her.

                    I went outside to see if the temp dipped a bit. It didn't. I looked up for a moment, and then saw a bit of the moon cover the sun, through a small cloud.

                    I'll be in the office with my seeing eye dog in the morning.

                      Supposed to have 75% cover in St Croix. Looking thru the shadow box it got to a crescent. Took some pics with my phone with an app. Pfft. Never looked like the light changed much and the sun still looks like it is round in the pics. SO, that was an anticlimactic event. It is waning now. The only difference was the little crescent shifted the side it was on, rotating as the time progressed.

                        92% totality in Denver occurred at 11:47 AM.

                        Looked like a very subdued version of daytime, like wearing sunglasses.

                          We had around 80% here in Tampa, could notice some "dimming" of the sunlight, some slight decrease in light.

                          Have seen lots of pictures of the ground around here (and I'd assume similar elsewhere) where you can see crescent shapes patterned about.

                          God willing, 8/12/45 will bring totality to the Tampa area. I may also venture to NY in 7 years if I'm not working, as my hometown is in or very near totality for that one.

                            My co workers were mostly disappointed with the eclipse as well. Light dimming oh so slightly was all we got.

                            Sounds amazing though...

                              I could see the eclipse quite clearly (about 80% of total), but I didn't notice any dimming.

                                At the airport to fly back to my floating penthouse for the next 30 days. A whole lot of nothing happened the past month, but that's alright.
