I really could not
understand what all the big hype around the eclipse has been.
Seriously I cannot figure out what this big to do was all about
except for pushing another gimmick on the American people as an way
for private industry to make more money. I'm sorry to be so jaded But
that's what is so obvious most of the time whether it's holidays, any
kind of national event or anything to wring a few more bucks out of
our wallets. I was even making an effort to consciously not be pulled
into this astronomical event.
I had a difficult time
sleeping. I actually woke up around 2:00 AM and never really got back
to sleep. I kind of slept 4- 7 AM but but that sleep was
intermittent at best. A drug myself up around 8 o'clock made some
coffee got dressed and continued my task of trying to find medical
records to submit for rent reduction. Everything is a mess. In the
process of my searching I found the Xfinity Invoice. I decided I was
going to send my payment in by check. I had touched my checks over
the weekend so I knew they were close by I just couldn't put my hands
on them. This was just enough incentive to suit up and head out down
the college where my credit union has a branch that I love to use. It
was during this time that I noticed I was in the middle of the
eclipse.
I was astounded. The light
everywhere had dimmed. Of course it was obvious something was going
on but it was just difficult for me to figure out exactly what it was
even though I knew we're in the eclipse process. Everybody was out
side the buildings of the college I got off the bus. Small clumps of
people gathered together some wearing funky sunglasses looking like a
cross between those weird shades one gets when they go to optometrist
and he dilutes your eyes and the 3-D glasses one gets at the movies.
Some nimrods were directly looking at the sun and small glances.
Still stupid. All of a sudden I wanted to be part of the whole thing.
I want to be one stupid people looking at the eclipse one way or
another. There was definitely a feeling in the air I don't know quite
how to ask exWillplain but it was an excitement, awe and coming
together with other people on the plaza. I wanted to figure out away
to safely see the eclipse. I wondered if I could give an image of the
event on the camera up myself . I did not think I could but I was
going to try. I ended up with an image not so good of the eclipse but
a great image of the sun I called it a selfi of me and the eclipse.
Actually I like the image.
Reading all the reports
And hearing many of the reports as well as on YouTube and local
media. Am somewhat envious of those that make the track where they
would be able to see the totality of the eclipse. It would be great
with to have felt their sensations and It felt some of the things
what the temperature drop. To experience those things would have been
fascinating. I doubt I will ever be witness to such event again but I
am certainly pleased and thankful that I saw this one.
