Zen moment.
Surfing during the last eclipse... that was when my surfing funk started. An evil omen. Maybe the switch turns back on after this eclipse.

its because this one is a total eclipse
total as in you can look at it with the naked eye (if you're in the path of totality) and see something like the picture below
last one was annular - so no lookie-lookie with naked eyeball
a TRULY amazing thing to behold
Would be pretty cool to experience a total eclipse. Does it get dark like night for a few minutes?
dark like late civil twilight - not quite dark like night
one of the most amazing things i've seen
up there with a massive auroral storm and a pristine Tongan reef
Not getting the total view here, but still very cool to see the partial view through eclipse glasses
chatting right now with two friends who just got their cherries popped
brings back the feeling
totally stocked for them!

- Dad, can you explain to me how a solar eclipse works?
- No sun.

Fucking glasses are bullshit, I knew it was a scam!!!
Just stack four pairs of sunglasses together and look through them. Easy peasy. Great direct view of the eclipse, no harm done whatsoever with no pinhole BS. Viewed many an eclipse that way.
After experiencing the 2017 eclipse in Oregon I said 'that was cool, when and where is the next one?'...Turns out it would be today and centered right over some old friends' house here in Comfort, Tx. Started making plans then to come here thinking 'Texas would certainly be the best place for good weather, right??'. Well, no, cloudy, but I did get a couple shots. And it got really dark for a few minutes. Cool nonetheless, don't know if I'll make the next one.
