As pretty much everyone knows, there was a total solar eclipse
yesterday. I didn't even know it was supposed to happen, until one of
the women I work with came into my office holding the inside of an old
floppy disk, and I asked her why. She told me it was so she could see
the eclipse, and I asked her what she was talking about, so she dragged
me up to the top floor and showed me. I was floored. I've never seen
a solar eclipse, let alone a total eclipse, and it was amazing! (Our
tech guy took a bunch of pictures, including the one here) I don't know if it's that I just never knew when they were, or if they don't happen at the right time for us to see in the US. But I don't think we get eclipses like this there. We kept going up to the top floor every few minutes to see the moon's progress, and you could see it getting a little darker outside. Not really dark, but almost like a lot of clouds were covering the sun. (duh, something was covering the sun genius...) I think I'll remember it for the rest of my life.
