3 minutes, 21.6 seconds here in Macedon.
Been passing out eclipse glasses to my friends and neighbors.
If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

Remember one of these in Mass as kid. It got darker and the squirrels started moving around in trees. I guess they figured it was dusk or something?

The silence when the eclipse hit was a very strange for sure. It was really cool for the little time it lasted.

Well I’ll be in my Adirondack chair in my back yard. The rest of them can drive someplace…..or not.

Party pooper!

They say there may be 40,000 people visiting Pittsburg NH for the eclipse. Absolute nightmare. I was going to be at camp that weekend but I think we'll put it up for airbnb for $1000 a night and 4 night minimum and pay the taxes for the year. People are going CRAZY for this event, it's interesting but man.. the hype is insane.

Interesting?? It’s a once in a lifetime! How can a fisherman not appreciate an incredible cosmic event? We live  our lives by natural events. Change of seasons, moon phases, weather patterns…….how can we not appreciate this ?

All in all it’s just cool and me and mine will be watching …closely.
