Why would that be? Totality only lasts for a minute or two.

I’ve seen two total solar eclipses in my life. The coolest thing for me is not what I see by looking at the sun/moon. Rather, it is all the stuff going on around me regarding the just plain weird lighting.

My neighbor has a broken rooster that crows randomly throughout the day (and night). Probably won’t make much difference to him.

I saw the one in Panama in the 90s. The Bunger’s Bands are the most fascinating and they only last seconds. As soon as it’s over you are wanting to see the next one. I have been waiting over 20 years for this.

The eclipse is totally Trump’s fault. We didn’t have any during Zer0’s term.

It is also interesting to note that the insect noises you usually ignore suddenly become totally absent. So there is this almost instantaneous “hush” that is almost spiritual.

NOT the only one. Total BS that Roosters crow only at Sunrise. Total BS.

A total solar eclipse is a two-minute event that only happens once every 15 years or so. A Clinton telling the truth is a two-minute event that only happens once every 15 years or so.

A coincidence? I think not.

Yes, and since Trump has caused this, there will also be more GLOBAL WARMING....certainly an impeachable offense....(/s)

#7: Dozens of pinhole type eclipse images under small trees as the leaves make lots of little pinholes.

What is the old saying “ A Broken Cock is right once a day” ?

They are not bizarre things. They are 100% natural phenomena that occur infrequently.
