I guess Allen was a good place for SA! Maybe someday I'll go...

that was awfully sweet :)

not alone ;)

They did! It was such a shame that they weren't able to compete this past season.

At 87%, you might not have noticed anything if you didn't know! It was so interesting to watch the light even without looking at the actual eclipse.

Only saw one street light come on here. :lol: We were supposed to be 87%. We have some clouds but not a cloud cover. I walked around enjoying the changing shadows. At about the top time here I asked a guy with glasses if it was mostly covered. He handed me the glasses so I got a quick look. It...

Excuse me, we don't need that stuck in our heads! :P
