milehiiu Posted August 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 It's getting dark inside of the house. As if in the evening when it is time to turn lights on. I have light sensitive lamps inside and outside of the house.... and they are turning on ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach1K Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 You could barely see it but I was at like 90%. I heard that in either Tennessee or Kentucky you could see it at 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 I work in Louisville. 96 percent here but found it disappointing. Not nearly as dark as I expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milehiiu Posted August 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Just saw on local tv, that the next total eclipse of the sun, in our great country is scheduled over B-twon, in like 2024. As for today. The main interstate from Wyoming, where there was a total eclipse of the sun..... I-25, is jammed with traffic. People coming back to Denver. What normally takes two hours to drive is now taking up to five hours or longer, due to congestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, as recently as 2013, the date for the Championship was April 8th. Total eclipse in Bloomington and Championship game on the same date? I'll take that as a sign that something special may happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonialcrester Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 I went to my friend's bar an he made me drink. I saw 100% and was able to look at the sun directly. I tried to do a ritual sacrifice and they made me leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am fairly confident that will be the National Title game as it is a Monday and I can't recall the FInal Four starting in March in a very long time.

I really appreciate your service, I really do. This country needs more men like you and other Vets of war. I have family members that have served. I'm in my 30's but have lost several friends and brothers at young age and you never know when the good Lord takes you home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, that was never the case when I was serving. With out going over details.... bridge over troubled water,now. I truly am in awe..... the appreciation that America is showering over our service members now. I am , as well sharing in that appreciation. Only wish it was there when I served. In the end.It does mean the world to me that you have honored the service that I, and my fellow classmates who fell during the Viet Nam conflict shared. They me be long gone... but never forgotten in my heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
