It's got four minutes to do something spectacular. If not, it was a lot of hype for nothing. 10:27 is supposed to be total coverage here, and we're not that far north of Portland.

They are going nuts over it on MSNBC.

i give a four :boo hiss: :boo hiss: :boo hiss: :boo hiss: . The only difference I could tell is a lot more shadow. It didn't get darker at all here. The sun appeared to be more dim, but that's about it.

 

Roosters are quiet though, but I heard the birdies still cheeping and chirping.

You don't have the glasses apparently.

 

Get two pieces of paper, poke a hole in one with a paper clip and then go out into the sunlight and project a beam of light onto the other one.

I brought stuff to make a box while I run my route, but i haven't gotten around to it yet. Utah had a 60% eclipse while i lived out there and it was cool.

 

That was a good one! We lived in Utah then also. The leaves made really cool shadows, like little half moons, on the sidewalk. It was really cool.

It's amazing how much light 8% of the sun can produce.

Also, the sunlight isn't producing any heat.

 

I noticed it got cooler and a slight breeze started.

 

Don't know how much sun we had but, honestly, except for more shadows and it being darker in the house, if I hadn't know thisn "grand" event was taking place, I wouldn't have noticed.

 

I thought we had one of these already when I was about 8 years old. I remember we had to make our own glasses back then. No one was giving them out for free in the archaic sixties.
