I'd post my brilliant eclipse photos... Except we didn't even know it was going on up in here.

Yeah...because you're still perplexed about indoor plumbing.    :tongue2:

I spent the day with my sister who lives in Texas, right in the path. It was cloudy, but we were able to experience the eclipse. Like I told a friend, it was most enjoyable because I was with family. We all stood in awe of the mighty Creator who orchestrates the very heavens. Makes it all move with perfect timing. Amazing!

On August 23, 2044, however, another will sweep across Montana and North Dakota - Americans will not see another solar eclipse like the one on Monday until 2045.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

Report: Animals at Dallas Zoo Screech, Run for Cover During Solar Eclipse

Paul Bois 8 Apr 2024

Animals at a Dallas zoo reportedly went berserk on Monday due to the total solar eclipse, with some running for cover while shrieking as the sky went dark.

“At the Dallas Zoo, giraffes, zebras and ostriches shrieked, squawked and ran for cover as the clouds grew darker,” the Daily Mail reported.

“We never know how our animals are going to react because they are wild,” said Ann Knutson, a zoological manager of birds at the Dallas Zoo, told the Dallas Morning News.

As the sky went dark, gorillas and giraffes were seen running to their indoor habitats while birds headed to their evening nests and suddenly “grew quiet.” Zebras and ostriches huddled among themselves.

“Thousands of people flocked to the zoo on Monday, eager to experience the total solar eclipse at the home of more than 2,000 animals, or 400 species,” reported the Dallas Morning News.

I'd be 84... And I doubt very much that I'll make it that far.  happy77

It didn't get that dark here - kind of like dusk, at most.
I was just at the library and a cute little girl asked the clerk, "Did you see the EE-clipse?" (with emphasis on the first syllable).
"Yes," he said, "I saw the EE-clipse." He added that he looked kind of silly, because instead of the special glasses, he wore a welder's helmet.  :laugh:
