Good point, Marcus!!!...I think I still have my "old people's cataract glasses" which I refused to wear. Maybe I'll put them on for my nap...

Afternoon Woods.

We are about a third of the way into a 95% coverage eclipse. Kinda neat! Never seen one with this much coverage

We have complete overcast skies, I couldn't tell you if it was going on or gone.

But I'll go have a beer to celebrate.

Yeah, think we got the same coverage as you...In fact, it just quit raining a few minutes ago.
