We are experiencing a partial eclipse at the moment. It looks very eerie outside....kinda "Halloween-ish".

We had about a 70% partial eclipse here. Sun was behind a big cloud but briefly passed over a less dense area of the cloud and we were able to see it without special glasses for a couple seconds.

ECLIPSE????
What eclipse?

Not around my way.

What NASA says: http://heavy.com/news/2017/08/solar-eclipse-welding-glasses-welder-alternative-mask-can-you-wear-is-safe-to-watch-helmet/

I looked at it at times thru a welding helmet. That's the only way to go . That glass is very dark. Anyway, I saw it covering 1/4 of the sun......then  covering 1/2 of the sun, but didn't see the 80 %  that we were supposed to get. It got a little dusky here, but not as dark as it got in 1959 when I was 10 yrs old. Good practice for when  the  eclipse comes around again in 2024. I should still be around then if I don't get cancer again, b/c the life expectancy for a woman is now 82. It's 78 for a man.

Mycatsmom continues to post here on akaQA. It seems here sight is not waning since after using her welding helmet to watch the eclipse. LOL

I listened to them talk about it on the radio while I was driving, but did not look up.

Yes we watched it on the television over here, live from the USA.  

I went to the Weslyan University Observatory to watch the eclipse. It was a partial eclipse, but it was awesome just the same. You could feel the temperature change. There was an energy that waxed and waned, and since then I have felt a goodness I've not felt in some time.

Good to hear you are feeling better.

I think it's key to understanding our soul. We're at least bicultural maybe tri-cultural with German Swiss and French. link And this means we are different from link a pure Swiss company. German watchmaking is link more engineering-oriented. Swiss watchmaking is more focused on watchmaking or finances. And French watchmaking is probably more design-oriented. We have a bit of all three in our blood.
