So not too bad. However, good ol' kansas, it was brewing a storm for later that night... so it was SO cloudy. Couldn't see a thing. But it WAS magical. The darkness, the stillness, the birds knew, the cats knew. It was really cool. I think it will be neat to make a bigger deal out of the 2024 one too. :) XO - Alexandra<br /><br /><a href="http://simplyalexandramyfavoritethings.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Simply Alexandra: My Favorite Things</a>Simply Alexandra // My Favorite Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10005714012822874818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-25734537577311520412017-08-22T15:44:24.354-04:002017-08-22T15:44:24.354-04:00Talk about the wonder and awe of God that it put i...Talk about the wonder and awe of God that it put into me and how I do take for granted these MASSIVE lights in the sky that God brings up every single day and night. I am so amazed at how often I make the evil doings of men so much bigger in my mind than the God of the Universe who created it all and who is bringing all things under Jesus' feet.

Our office had glasses they were handing out, which was nice. After seeing videos from friends that were in the area of the full eclipse, I think I'm really going to try to do that for 2024. It sounds amazing!Chaitalihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09118655603196065126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-8760729096848070742017-08-22T13:03:15.184-04:002017-08-22T13:03:15.184-04:00The live NASA feeds were AMAZING.

I should've tried the paper trick. I'll be more prepared for 2024.<br />I, too, thought it was nice how our country came together for a bit to admire the sun. It was a unique and bonding experience. I'm glad it happened :) God is good.

My sister took a trip to Georgia to be in the path of totality. Thankfully I was able to score a pair of glasses yesterday morning because boy did you need them. I don't know what I was expecting yesterday, and I know we were pretty far out from it happening, but I guess I thought it would get a little darker than it was. It was still an amazing experience to witness and now I am set for 2024 with my glasses. <br /><a href="http://www.beautifullycandid.com" rel="nofollow">Beautifully Candid</a>Beautifully Candidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09680801019984009104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-24416201627258448302017-08-22T10:38:54.248-04:002017-08-22T10:38:54.248-04:00I watched the eclipse on CNN for Wyoming and it wa...I watched the eclipse on CNN for Wyoming and it was sooooo cool. LA didn't experience much (I never bothered with glasses either) that was noticeable to the naked eye (no, I did not look at the sun!) and ours happened fairly early when it was also partly cloudy.

We watched it in our parking lot, and it was cool to see everyone from other buildings on our street out in their parking lots and sidewalks hanging out to watch it too. We had a hotel in Cleveland TN to watch it, but we decided the traffic and all that wasn't worth it with Zoe. I am glad I got to see it outside, but was a little underwhelmed because I thought it was going to get a little darker than it did. We had 94% here. I did hear the nighttime bugs chirping though, and saw the crescents all over the ground. That was freaking cool!

I'm glad it worked for you! :) I saw some people wearing welding helmets, some looking through the c-boxes, some with larger paper boxes on their head, strangers sharing their glasses with random folks ... and all that just so the moon could photobomb the sun for a minute or two. ;) God's works are mighty and good!<br /><br />Side note - just checked the calendar for 2024 and April 8 is another Monday. If total eclipses are what it takes to get through Mondays, we should have more of them!

It honestly didn't look like a big deal here. It was just overcast and cloudy, and yes I did look without special glasses and i'm not blind (yet). But really, it was just clouds so I didn't think that was harmful. I did watch the Nasa live feed from SC and even text my friend to see if it got dark there and she said it was dark enough for the street lights to come one. It did for sure get super hot here afterwards though.Fairytales and Fitnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11771224209536216240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-10937642181362114202017-08-22T08:08:01.384-04:002017-08-22T08:08:01.384-04:00we are totally going to go to indiana in 2024 as w...we are totally going to go to indiana in 2024 as well. better book a hotel now ;) jk. a guy at my work brought in a bunch of glasses, thank goodness. it was really, really cool!
