The biggest environmental change we noticed was the drop in temperature.

After yesterday's posts, I feel as though I have been on a tour of Michigan.

What’s amazing, DR JRand, is that you got a tour of an axis within greater Detroit that’s only 20 miles north to south and east to west.  Such a small world!

Totality was only hampered by the TRUMSTER neighbors and their illiterate comments.

I took a few pictures and I will see if they are worth posting tomorrow.

It was most impressive.

Richard seems somewhat better.  Sitting in the sun for a couple of hours helped a lot.

Good to hear that!

I have to say that the eclipse in person with totality was most impressive.

No wonder those in the middle ages were most impressed and awed by the phenomenon.

Birds got quiet and dogs were barking LOUD in the neighborhood during the event.

The eclipse felt like nothing much by us.

Purdue plays against UCONN for the NCAA championship tonight.

I am hopeful but not particularly optimistic.

The eclipse itself was clear and lovely through the glasses, but I didn’t think there was much difference in the resulting light anywhere around me.

Were you expecting more?  I didn't think you were in the path of the total eclipse.

We’re not, but people were claiming to have seen major differences in light and shadows. It might depend on location of trees and such, but I’ve got plenty of variety right here and I wasn’t seeing much of anything.

Interesting.

We had a perfect view from our new patio.  I was surprised at how dark it DIDN’T get until the very last second.  Even then it was just kind of dusky, but we did see an “evening” star.  During the 90 seconds we had of totality, we removed our glasses (as instructed) and it was awesome.  We could hear the folks cheering from the watch party outside the community apartment building. 

Cool.

My steri-strips that are supposed to hold the incision together for a bit longer are already falling off.

I'm glad you got the stitches out, Jane. Now to recover fully!

Thanks DR Laura.  If only I would stop having new issues.  Ster-Strips are supposed to stay on for 5-7 days, and there is a gap in my incision.
