THE ASSCLOWN AWARD
« on: August 20, 2017, 12:33:36 am »
We are going to have one on Monday.  I don't know how much of it will be in my home state of MA.

I have seen lunar eclipses before, but never a solar eclipse.

Have any of you seen one?

Where can I buy protection?

We had one when I was in middle school. I have no plans to try viewing it. Once in my life is all the excitement I can take.

If is going to be dark out, I am celebrating by taking a nap.

I have to work, but will time my lunch break around being outside.  I want to be outside when it gets dark, for the eerie factor.

We're going to grill up some chicken, make some drinks and head up to the roof and watch it.    Smiley

Viewing in Central Florida doesn't look optimal or maybe even possible. It is very cloudy today and there are even rain clouds in the area.

I'm going to step out,the peak here is 1:13Pm Cent, (about an 1hour and 13 minutes)and it's supposed to be 96% total eclipse here. I'd have to drive about 90-100 miles NE to get to 100%. Tottally not worth it IMO. We might have 1 or 2 clouds possible, then rain later. Undecided

It's only about 70% where I live, peak to be at 2:39.  It had been cloudy most of the day, but seems to be clearing up a bit.
