| Hi all
Received an order the other day, and within 10 minutes the customer cancelled.
Fair enough, no problem - I cancelled the order.
Today had a message from the "Buyer" to say I had sent them a wrong part
- black instead of dark Bluish Grey.
Good try - but no cigar
Have to be alert in this game !!
Tracy

It was spectacular!! Here in Central Ohio is was forecasted to be cloudy, but

Saw Bailey's beads, felt it become chilly, and birds stopped chirping. Also
saw Jupiter and Venus pop up during the totality, just phenomenal. My second
total eclipse (after Germany 1999).

I was mowing but stopped for a bit to watch. Definitely an impressive sight.
We had clouds in the forecast as well but it ended up being pretty clear.

I think it's actually called a prominence when it extends out from the sun
and is seen against the black of space. A friend of our family had a major setup
for the event and pretty much had that same exact image from his camera. So damn
cool.

I was singing that in my back yard with my son while we were watching it happen
It was an absolutely amazing event. Breathtaking and beautiful. I will never forget it.
|
Very nice for you and son, Randy. Hopefully he'll omit from memory your rendition
of that entirely unremarkable song, from what otherwise seemed an amazing moment
for you both.
|
Since him and I were singing it together, hugging each other, and looking at
the sky in unison, I think it is safe to say that both of us got exactly what
we wanted from the moment. But thanks for trying to dictate what him and I should
get from our lives. You are such a pox on this forum.
|
Sorry if it came across to you as such, Randy. Honestly thought it was a nice
moment you shared, which I appreciated very much. Just poking fun at the song
and artist, perhaps awkwardly I admit. Sorry you feel that way about me too.

It was definitely incredible here in Ohio! We were also predicted to have a somewhat
cloudy day, but it was absolutely beautiful out. Bright blue skies and just a
few scattered clouds. Not to mention that we finally had a rather nice warm day
to go with it, too!

| Three minutes of totality. Totally awesome.
We had heavy cloud early in the afternoon when we headed out to view. About one
minute before the eclipse started a hole opened up in the clouds and we had good
viewing. Then, just five minutes before totality, the clouds covered it all up.
Since I couldn't see anything above, I just looked around at the 360 degree
sunset instead which was an unforgettable sight.
Suddenly, about half way through totality the cloud moved, and there it was,
the whole thing, with the corona. The crowd went wild. A minute later, after
totality had passed, the clouds all disappeared and the rest of the eclipse was
in clear skies.

Very nice! Aligned with how I've understood astronomers throughout the day,
relate the event: The absents of blue and green in the spectrum, allowing for
more of the sun's corona and flares into the visible light. Wonderful pic!
Thanks.

I always forget how the light gets "grayish". Due to a multitude of
issues with the kids, my wife deciding to run away from work to join us, traffic
and such, we ended up about 45 miles short of my planned location. I had about
3 minutes to set up - and I hate rushing - but it was worth it to share the experience
with the whole family. now they get what i've been going on and on about
the past 7 years.
