A decade of masturbation have made your eyes strong enough to stare into the eclipse, you can do it!

Went outside to see the start of it. The world hasn't ended yet. Further updates as events warrant.

So. The bolsheviks are mad about how the guy looked to the sky!?
Thank goodness he's never run guns to drug lords or nukes to terrorists. Imagine THAT outrage! LOL

Trump had glasses on and glimpsed beneath the sun after taking them off. Typical Hoof hatred, nothing more.

Just another foggy August morning in SF at work. It was a little darker than normal but that's it.

I took a quick peak like our President. I admit it.
Sun was about a quarter blocked. A little darker up here. Kind of looked like 2:45 in December instead of 2:45 in August.

As did millions of people I'm sure. Selective photo is selective. But in political terms, funny.

The sun was much too bright to actually get a real picture of the eclipse with a cell phone camera ... and we had a lot of cloud cover ... but I thought this eclipse-shaped lens flare was amusing ...

it was almost as much of a nothingburger as Russian collusion! It's darker with my polarized sunglasses than what we got.
