My Rainy Solar Eclipse
Apr. 9th, 2024 02:19 pm I actually avoided social media yesterday in order NOT to see everyone's fabulous pictures of the solar eclipse. Minnesota--at least where I am--was completely overcast. I would be slightly less bitter about it, if it had rained more. As it was, it only spit from the sky a bit. So, we didn't even get much-needed moisture in exchange.
Alas. It seems to be our luck.

Seriously, the last time there was an eclipse visible here, we also had thick clouds. Though, if I remember correctly, Mason and I did get a chance to see the sun's partly obscured corona briefly, when clouds parted. (Here's my blog from then: https://lydamorehouse.dreamwidth.org/442743.html) Shawn still remembers being mad at us because, though we did bring our glasses we looked at it through the clouds without them.
Not this time.
Shawn even took her eclipse glasses to work with her, just in case....
Boo.
