SUNDOWN

We just got back from walking through the thirty minute peak of the solar eclipse.

It started to get that brownish tinge about 615 and then darker, darker until the peak at 638.

No total dark.

We watch the shadows. They take the shape of the crescent. Quite spectacular.

Our shadows show like we have fringe on the bottom of the image.

We haven't seen anything like this since maybe 20 years ago in Boston.

No. We didn't know about it soon enough to get glasses for it.

Maybe next time. I will be 96.

Booker didn't get it. "What the shit Dads? Why all the excitement. My shadow has a furry look to it all the time".
