I think if something dangles more than another thing, that would be "danglier." No? Hmpf.

Also, it doesn't seem that there is a gi7, either

Who is going to try and see the eclipse today?
8:19 am
MollyL
Fun fact: Petroglyphs found in County Meath, Ireland, may be our earliest records of an eclipse; they date back to 3340 B.C.
8:28 am

Annoyed that reco4 isn't a word. Seems like painters do that all the time.

eclipse = me!!!!!! got the glasses, it's 90% here in NYC, thought about driving somewhere for 100% but traffic
8:34 am
Shirlockc
phantom: infertile
8:35 am
Shirlockc
everything in NYC is traffic related in some way
8:47 am
MollyL
They are predicting immense traffic jams in prime viewing places
8:48 am
Shirlockc
one reason why i'm not driving anywhere, going up to the roof of my building, would be v good spot
8:57 am

We went to kentucky for last one and it was an amazing experience. It got very dark and birds stopped chirping and the quiet was amazing.
9:02 am
amelu0218
Was in the path of totality in the May 1984 event. Crickets and frogs woke up and birds got quiet. Pretty darn cool.
9:03 am
MollyL
Um, you have to have a very expensive camera to get decent eclipse photos. Your cell phone won't cut it.
9:03 am
amelu0218
of course, it's overcast and drizzling rain today, lol
9:05 am
MollyL
Also, just as viewing the eclipse without proper protection will damage your eyes, it can damage the lens of a camera.

12:17 pm
penquis
hope your weather is better this time...
12:17 pm
