Yesterday I took a short break from what I was doing to watch the partial solar eclipse in my little corner of southern New England. I can only imagine what the experience of watching a total eclipse is like. Observing the partial eclipse was worth the few minutes I devoted to it, but it was also a bit of a let down. The world did not get very dark, and the glasses necessary to view it, which blacked out everything except the sun, made the phenomenon seem unreal. I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to see it, but I also can see why people travel long distances to experience totality.
That is so true, Don. I actually did travel to Vermont to see it. And it was very cool during the 6 minutes of totality. But I actually enjoyed the many hours I spent looking at my friends' view of the mountain in Stowe. And I'm really looking forward to Spring popping in my neighborhood in Newton.
Don, thank you. I appreciate your reflections on yesterday’s eclipse phenomenon.
Well stated Don. Thanks for the reminder
