I have seen a beautiful eclipse before. Very early in the morning viewed from our front patio. Watched with camera and tripod. According to Spaceweater.com – is was going to be visible on the US West Coast around midnight. Going out there at 2200, the sky was visible with the usual amount of of light, and, of course, a light cloud cover. Would it be worth staying up a couple more hours on the off chance the sky will clear?
Nah.
I decided that I had managed to add 999 stitches (seriously) to the current Ring-Tailed Lemur and mail four boxes from the post office. Good day.
