What Eclipse?

Here in Northern California,  Main County's eclipse experience was a non-event.

I made pinhole cameras for TBG and me out of Honey Bunny's smash cake box, cutting off the sides and using one for the pinhole and one for the display screen. 

Perhaps I failed in creating an acceptable hole in the tin foil, because all we saw was a square of light.  We were properly angled.  We were out at the right time.  And we saw nothing of note. 

Like the men's NCAA Final Four,  which was played in a football stadium,  the best seat in the house was in front of my tv.

  1. You would not have missed much even if you had remained in Tucson, got a bit darker, but that was all. Clear skies though.

  2. We didn't even make note of it here in cloudy, not-in-the -path Seattle.

  3. Bloomington had 100% totality and clear skies. Unfortunately, we were on our way to Mayo Clinic in MN. One of the many things we have missed due to covid-19 and cancer. :(
