It was cloudy at home, with the sun breaking through periodically. First glimpse of the eclipse was actually on a pillow in the bedroom, pinholed through leaves. Called Mrs. FBW, and of course it went away. Then came back. I think she finally got a pic.

Then we went to the dining room, and I picked up my binos. “DON’T LOOK AT THE SUN!!” she shouted. Of course, I was just using them to project onto a piece of paper….

On the drive to work, the clouds were very heavy most of the way, but amazingly for South City, it was clear when I got there. My whole group was outside, with Eclipse Glasses, pinhole cameras, and binos-in-a-box. I looked at the ground by my car…..

Buncha tiny eclipses.

While we were standing around, a family drove up in a camper and parked near my car. They got out and stood there, swapping their eclipse glasses around. Then I noticed one of them was a ~10-12 year old boy, who was having his Dad take pics of him with the Challenger.

I wonder what he’ll remember more, the solar eclipse? Or my car?
