I'm hoping we get clear skies to watch it. We'll be in Vancouver. And now I'm off to check that nifty interactive map that was posted!

I still remember a full solar eclipse back in the early 90's. I was kind of surreal - it wasn't normal darkness.

They definitely are unique. No wonder people feared them. Eclipses and comets are portents of doom.

Heh. Well, went out 1 day and 1 hour early, surprisingly nothing much to see. (the one hour was thanks to daylight savings time stupidity, the one day was thanks to my own stupidity).

At least I got to do a successful test of my frankenstein cereal box pinhole projector.

All I know is on the TV show Being Human (good vampire / werewolf / ghost fun show by the way), when there was a solar eclipse, the werewolf guy unexpectedly turned into his wolf-y self.

That's a great show! And the "shredded" ghosts appeared at the spot they were dispatched durring the eclipse.

It's so cloudy here we won't be able to see anything, bummer.

Wispy clouds all over, and a big one planted right in front of the sun... go figure...

I almost forgot. Saw a bit with my trusty pinhole in a shoebox

I can see through the window that it is dark outside. That's as much effort I am putting into it.
