Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Re: The Sun!
Could you see the eclipse safely through the reflection off the viola??
That could be its' greatest contribution to science and music!!

Re: The Sun!
It rained here. Actually think it was darker before the eclipse than during.
And, I didn't go blind. Lame!

The cicadas fell silent when we hit 69% in NY. A whole bunch of turkey vultures also returned to roost for the night only to discover the return of the sun some 10 minutes later.

Re: The Sun!
Here in Oz we didn't get an eclipse BUT, I did get a new computer so have been able to get back on Tubenet for the first time in 3 months. At least you didn't have to pay a heap of $$ for your eclipse but, the computer should last longer.

Still oompahing in FL. Was about 80% covered here. Looked a lot like Bob's picture. Glad I still had my welding helmet.

Re: The Sun!
We had about a minute and a half of totality here in Nebraska, but it was cloudy, so I only got to see the halo for a few seconds here and there. It still got dark enough for the street lights to come on. It was pretty cool! I certainly enjoyed it. My oldest child told my wife (they were watching at home while I was with students at work) "this is my favorite childhood!" I'm glad the kids were so excited by it.

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving's probably not for you.

Or at least to nuke it. That'll make Kim Jong Un sit up and take notice!
