No Shadow
We were in the wrong place to view the eclipse yesterday. I made the assumption that 74% coverage would still dim the light through the cloud canopy blocking our sightline but we didn’t perceive any effects at the expected hour.
Before we went outside, Cyndie and I scanned the television channels to see the reports from Texas. They provided some wonderful images of the totality.
This is what it looked like for us:
We didn’t need our fancy viewing glasses.
I guess that means spring will come early this year.

Today is the day of the solar eclipse! May those of you in the path of totality find clear skies for optimal viewing!
We are located in a region of approximately 74% coverage so the plasma of the solar winds won’t be as visible as they are from vantage points under the total shadow. We’ll take what we can get, but the odds aren’t looking good for us due to cloud cover.
I hope to loiter around outside and observe how the daylight beneath the clouds changes and whether the horses show any visible signs of awareness about the unusual phenomenon as it plays out.
No matter what transpires today, remember the advice on the cover of The Guide: “DON’T PANIC.”
It’s not like a hyperspace bypass is being created or anything.
