2024 Solar Eclipse: Coincidence or Final Warning

[Baby Yoda]

April 8th is special to me because it would have been my dog's 31st birthday.

Wasn't that an old Coca Cola commercial from the 70s?

Hands Across America campaign against hunger.

Remembering Hands Across America | HISTORY

Take a look back at Hands Across America, the charity event in which 5 million people formed a human chain across the United States.

The Coca Cola commercial was "I'd like to buy the world a Coke," written from the song "I'd like to Teach the World to Sing, in Perfect Harmony"

Please protect your eyes if you plan to look towards the sun (or in the direction of where the sun is) during the Eclipse today.

If you have made in China for nerds eclipse glasses, do you trust them?

for the reminder

Glasses from 2017, Made in USA. Used in 2023 for the partial (annular) solar eclipse we had here, as well. Still serviceable.

Thought I'd say something... some folks grow up without learning it's not a good idea to look directly at the sun... We'll probably see some news about people damaging their eyes trying to get a good look at the Eclipse. Looks like a good portion of the areas that will experience 100% Eclipse will have cloud cover.

I live in a mostly liberal city, although we’re living on the out skirts, which is fairly conservative. However, there are lots of aging hippies who seemed to have retired here. For the eclipse in 2017, which we were in the direct path, there was one house which had about 5 people sitting out front in beach chairs. They were dressed as if they just got done filming in a cheech and chong movie, and wearing huge Elton John type sunglasses, long hair blowing in the wind.

When is or was the eclipse supposed to happen? I'm not sure it will even be noticed here in SC.

 

[Batman]

SC has a partial eclipse this afternoon from 152pm to 425pm EST.

Right now. The eclipse is moving across North America. Currently in Mexico.

right on ROSE!


I don't ever travel to see these things. I watch on YouTube.

Somebody somewhere has a better view of it, and is willing to share.

I get to stay home, make coffee, iced coffee, grab a pepperoni stick or some nuts or good Brie cheese to enjoy whilst watching thru THEIR camera lens. They get to cope with crowds, noise, heat, someone's crying toddler and lineups to the portapotty. Mud in the fields etc.

If we lived closer I'd move over on the couch and offer you some good snacks as we watch God's symphony of nature do it's thing. I think you're dairy free but I'd look up some nice grass fed beef jerky, organic almonds and some nice coffee to go with.

Someday Ghoti we will watch all the cool stuff and enjoy each other's company in heaven. That will be wonderful.

Someday soon I hope.

Plus you can watch it over and over on YT. On the other hand, you can only go blind once.

Not trying to look at it at all but the light is a bit dimmer here at this point 2:56 PM. Not much of a big deal. lolol

Saw it pretty good here in Texas, in and out of the clouds but it was a good show. Sat in the back yard with Julianne and watched the whole episode. An afternoon well spent. It did get quite dark at its fullest.

I also survived but did see the four horseman. However, there is a big farm up the road, so nothing out of the ordinary….

I watched an extremely cheesy movie a few months ago that had some equally cheesy 4-horsemen in the sky scenes........cheesy like Swiss, Colby, and Cheddar!
