It was pretty cool to have the cool breeze kick up, and see stars in the sky.

Outside of that- just another excuse to day-drink

NASA channel is transmitting in UHD and needless to say they have the best equipment. If you have a good TV and good internet this is probably the best ticket in town.

Was 99% here. Didn't even get dark enough for me to stop power washing the house. Didn't even look. I thought there was a welding helmet here. No big deal...

It got a lot darker here than I anticipated. Although it was also raining at the time.

Rather than wait decades for the moon to block out the sun, I just use a ceiling. Works pretty good.

I believe we should stand on Ceremony. . . while our friends handcuff the sanctimonious little prick and take him away.
