In the words of Gus Bradley, "We had a great week of preparation but just came up a little short on the execution. Our goal is to seek improvement with each and every eclipse"

I know. I was at 97 or 98 percent in Vancouver, WA, but it just barely dimmed for a few minutes. Those who were actually in it are saying how amazing it was, but just outside it wasn't much at all.

I laugh at the people that actually traveled to view this event and I give kudos to the many people that actually made money off of them. I saw reports of land owners charging $75 per person to view it on their land. Get 100 or so stupid people on your property at $75 a head... that's a good little bit of beer money.

While you're here being condescending to those who actually like to witness rare events, kids are playing on your yard, unheeded.
Even with clouds, it was very cool. I'm not quite understanding the need for derision.

And son #1's birthday was Friday.
I think it has to do with Thanksgiving. We were definitely giving thanks.

Did you get your money's worth? If you think so, then more power to you. My guess is that it was a less-than exciting event. In case you missed it, sunset is approaching...
