    In DC, we got about 90%...with it being a bit cloudy.
    But we got more than enough gaps to see it well from start to finish and a few photos with a special lens too.

    I was thinking of going to upstate NY or VT to see the totality, but there were too many risks with weather and too cold to do an overnight in my car. (no rooms available for sane prices)
    I saw the last eclipse in full 7 years ago at the max time, in KY. So it wasn't as much of a push to do it again.

    Next one globally is in 2026 in Iceland and Spain. (Iceland is a wonderful place to go, I wouldn't mind going again at all. And Spain is right next to Portugal, where I want to go next)

    I watched news story that said mentioned something I hadn't heard before. Total eclipses occur about every 1.5 years, but many of them happen over water, and some in obscure areas.

    Edit: I saw footage of the full eclipse, very cool event.

    Also, don’t mind me, just busy resurrecting dead threads on a slow day at work.

    I just didn't know what the Oxford comma was.

    Keep raising the dead. Back when this place jumping, V1 & V2, my talent was killing threads :eek:.

    This is totally pointless but there has been some great comics coming out lately.
    The Absolute takes on the Trinity are fire.
    The Batman Who Lifts, The Wonder Woman Who Yeets, and The Superman Who Reads Marx are all brilliant.
    For me Wonder Woman is the best out of the three.

    She is a true badass.

    And why we call her The Wonder Woman Who Yeets?
    In this world she was raised in Hell by Circe who was a bit unsure about the whole thing to start with.

    fflowley Don't just do something, stand there!

    We got ours 3 or 4 years ago.
    It is the greatest.
    I agree with Borla; smearing my ass with toilet paper is so absurd and disgusting that I don't know how or why I had to do it for decades before.

    They make portable ones and I bought one for bike camping. It’s not quite the same, but it’s better than nothing.

    ATTENTION EVERYONE:
    The hat worn by Robin Hood and Peter Pan is called a bycocket.

    You may now resume your normal day.

    I've been getting into hats recently (some images might get posted), but the bycocket has flown way under my radar.

    And I resisted making a joke about
    headwear.

    I’m still coughing up a lung and am not back to 100%, but after not leaving the house for three days my body’s craving some sunshine and fresh air.

    I've had The Crud for six days. It's breaking very slowly, & I've learned not to fall for temporary improvements. Last Friday I had a two hour window where I thought "Thank gawd this shit is finally moving on." Ha!
