Here in Houston the sky was dimmed but it was still pretty damn bright. Took in the view with a couple of gals at the ole Hooters. They were all really excited.


Even though we were supposed to have 100%, it did not really darken significantly until right before the total eclipse. Just a thin sliver of the sun is enough to light up the day.

I thought it was pretty cool.

Sky started to get sepia colored, like yellow dust was over the sun. then really dark, in the distance traffic on highway all had to turn lights on.
Temperature dropped a lot.

It was weirdly beautiful and fun to experience.

....Reminds me of the time our platoon sarge told us to take Hill #37 outside of Nha Trang. There was more lead in the air than humidity. We were pinned down for over an hour, no hope of air support, running low on ammo. Then, out of nowhere, who walks up, standing tall, impervious to the barrage of rounds and tracers whistling past him.....Colonel Flagg. We peeked up out of the mud from beneath the rims of our brain bowls at him, wondering how the **** was he able to stand for more than 3 seconds without getting riddled with bullets. Flagg puts his hands on his hips, puffs out his chest, pulls out his pearl handled .45 and starts blasting back at the gooks, yelling "Take THAT you commie **** pinko scum kao pat gung munchers!!" And just like that, poof, he was gone. None of us saw him come or go... It was the weirdest thing.
