Solar Eclipse!

The last solar eclipse to occur in the USA as in 1979 and it was on the West Coast.  The last eclipse to be seen from the East Coast was in 1970 and this was the first since Woodrow Wilson was in the White House to be seen across the country.

Michelle and I were outside and the sky became dark.  There were chirping bugs and birds flying to their nests.  I only saw a couple of street lights come on, but it did not seem like complete darkness. The lighting was definitely different!

There will be another in seven years supposedly, but this is still an awesome event.  We made sure not to look at it.  We did not have to...that is what Youtube is for!  :-)

Naturally, the cats were not impressed.....
