It was cloudy/overcast here in Minneapolis, and I missed being able to use the pinhole projector.
Thought I would still enjoy just sitting outside to sense the light changing in general…there are no windows in the place where I’m working now…finally took my lunch break and got outdoors about ten minutes after peak time…and then, although you’d think it would get lighter and lighter out after peak time, instead heavy black rain clouds were rolling in and it got darker and darker—so that was sort of anti-eclipse-like!
I heard that people from another department there had been out during the first half with the special glasses, and there were still enough breaks in the clouds at that point for them to catch a few glimpses of the eclipse. I’m glad they were able to see it.
Next total eclipse in the US will be seven years from now. I’ve been thinking about Ray Bradbury’s short story “All Summer in a Day”…anyone else recall it?
