Happy Solar Eclipse April 2024! Are you doing anything special for the solar event?

Run, run, run
Run, run, run
Run, run, run
Run, run, run

Well baby, better take my advice
A black cat crossed your path twice
The moon came out next to the sun
Then you opened your umbrella in a room

You better run, run, run
Run, run, run
Run, run, run
Run, run, run

Apparently there is a slight "graze" in Cornwall but as I predicted, it's pissing it down.

I rate it a solid meh.

I brought a file over to our main office yesterday afternoon. With no intention of looking up as I really didn't try to get the glasses. On the 11th floor, I was offered to look at the eclipse from a very amiable legal secretary.

So, I did manage to look up for @10 seconds. Meh is a good rating. At least I can say I experienced it.

Here was cloudy and rainy and it was hard to tell the darkness brought on by the clouds from the darkness from the eclipse. Just another day to me.

Although it was an overcast day, I and anyone I asked about it on my daily rounds (probably about 15 ppl in total) all brightened up, smiled and said it was (in various words) really great. Some, complete strangers, would tell their story

When I was able to view the corona, it made me cry. It felt so powerful. I was thinking about the movements of well, everything out there

It was a beautiful experience. One I won't soon forget
