Whew! I barely made it out alive!
It was a close one and I'm glad that I won't live till the next one comes! |

It's currently happening. I'll let you know if I make it out alive.

I'm sleepy from eating to much BBQ and a little too much suds. Other than that relatively unscathed. Oh I did have a pretty good sneezing attach.
|
|
It was tough but I made it, saw no more traffic than normal. No looting or riots
|

|
The mountain side I shot the shit out of during the eclipse won't be a problem.
|
|
Still here, now the grey hue on everything looked like a B grade postapocalyptic movie scene
|
|
Still here. It was rough and we lost many man but we're still here.

Went outside, looked at the sun, it was cloudy, went back inside and had a pickle.
Was a good day. |
|
Had a deck party starting around 9:30 with 9 people from the 'hood.
Lox n bagels, fruit, smoothies, coffee. Welding glasses, cheap glasses and one set of binos with solar filters. Just left around 11:30 |

Fire engine caught a call and we observed it from inside a dialysis center, while treating patient and waiting for our ambulance for transport.

Survived the sun going out, but how am I supposed to survive the confederate statues?
|

Completely overcast in central Iowa. Didn't see a thing. They even cancelled the human sacrifice.
|
|
I made it out alive, but lost my eyesight.
This post dictated, but not read. |

I took my plate carrier off when nothing happened. The nice lady at the church told me it was going to be "our judgement". I did get judged by some folks who thought I shouldn't be wearing black socks, crocs, plate carrier, and a slung AR. It was hot so I didn't bother with any other clothes. I am disappoint.

I lived!! I was in the path and the booger lights came on right before the big show!
|
|
Watched it with the elderly widow that lives across the street.
It was a good day. |
|
I survived about 8 neighbor kids coming by and looking at my tripod, binocular, white piece of paper set up.
They did not get to use the welding glass |
|
|
The entire building...that didn't stay home...were outside screaming...pondered if it was the end of Raiders of the Last ark.
I peeked early on for all of 3 seconds and went back inside lol. Saw at least one person looking up directly with just sunglasses on |
|
Upstate SC in the "totallity zone" I'm still here and no shots fired!
|
|
Northern Nevada checking in.
Jackrabbits are easier to pop when they are squinting at the heavens. |

I really really wish I'd known that I wasn't supposed to do any human sacrifices today. I mean, what's the fucking logic behind that?

A pickle you say? https://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/rickandmorty/images/7/7b/Picklerick.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20170725205548 View Quote |

I made it...Lucked out, just enough clouds to not burn my retinas while using my welding helmet.
|

|
So overcast I couldn't tell where the sun was in the sky. Storm clouds rolling in too.
|
|
This state went crazy.
Here, it almost got dark, but didn't. Cheeseburgers and Shiner Bock got me thru. |
