Re: eclipse
I also forgot. But my family came and got me. I was off in my office doing C++ debugging for my job. Had they not come to find me, I might have missed the entire event.EEA wrote:I forgot about the eclipse, but did get the chance to see one a long time ago when I was 13.
And like you, I saw one when I was little. But I don't remember how old I was or how complete the eclipse was. I remember playing with paper and talking about it with either my mother or a teacher. I'll suspect I was young enough that by the time this slow event came to be something, I had mentally checked out and was off chasing leaves, pulling my sister's hair or else running after our ducks and sheep.
Re: eclipse
A colander? Genius! Would never of thought of that in a million years.
I saw a 60% eclipse years ago and the thing I remember most was being shocked at how much of a temperature drop there was. It really brings it home exactly how much we depend on the Sun ... a certain couple notwithstanding.
