Big show tonight (20/2/08) .....total eclipse of the moon

Really? Did not know that. I guess I learned somethign new at 1600 hours today.

However, last I checked, this isn't the military--no marching, lots of unshined shoes, and no saluting required (unless of course Lucas is around....)

 

My part of Texas is 80 degrees and sunny, so I figure I'll get to see it.

 

Anyone up for some serious looting?

 

Bastard.

 

It's clear here, and we've got a perfect view.

Only problem — it's 4 degrees outside right now. It will be below zero when the total eclipse occurs.

 

Pretty awesome display, especially after I looked at it through my roommates camera (600 millimeter lens attached). Very orange, and somewhat bloody looking. Kind of reminded me of a smaller version of a harvest moon.

 

Fucking overcast all night. Missed it, but I saw one last year that was similar.

I can't wait till 2017 when a total solar eclipse is supposed to go right over some land I own. If SJ is still up, we can have a big-ass eclipse party.

 

Any Mr. Show fans out there?

 

Bright clear sky last night. Saw the whole thing (checked every fifteen minutes or so off our front porch).

Amazing stuff.

 

Cloudy here last night as well. I have seen a few of them in my day and they never cease to amaze me.

 

Simply fabulous after a couple of early minutes of clouds. Worth every second.
