Hello Groupies
As I am watching the news I also hope that our Texas Groupies will be safe.
May Harvey be a big harmless bunny-storm.
I had to look up what Moonlight Magic is! I'm so lame! I hope all who get to go have a wonderful time!
Speaking of eclipses....ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. It was a bucket list item for both myself and Mr Muush. So we started our plans a long time ago. We sort of argued about where would be the best place to view it. Fortunately, I won. I wanted Columbia SC and Mr Muush wanted Charleston. Boy did we go to the right place. No clouds. No traffic. Of course it helped that we arrived a day early and left the next day.
Before the eclipse I heard this analogy.
Viewing a partial eclipse as opposed to viewing a total eclipse is like riding in a plane as opposed to skydiving out of it.
After the eclipse, I must say, they were right!
I had no idea that it would be that awesome. Mr Muush took some fabulous pictures. We bought a lens for the camera (cardboard with the same film that are on sunglasses, did the job!) and got the partial. When the total came, my goodness, he did great. He even got the diamond ring and Bailey's Beads!
We're thinking about going to the one in 2024. I have family in Rochester NY (which will have 3 minutes and 30 seconds of totality!), just considering it right now. But I feel like I'd be pushing my luck with the clouds! This one we had a big old cloud cover the sun 10 minutes before totality!! Talk about panic!
Happy planning to all who are headed to our happy place!
