<<There was already another couple there, also from Virginia!, a retired couple, the man is an amateur astronomer, he had a projection telescope and a telescope set up to look directly at the sun, which was nice because a few dozen people came there later, and none had protective eyewear. I had 6 number 14 glass eyepieces for welder's goggles, and we passed the extras around.>>
No shit!! That sounds really good. People cooperating to see something neat. Did your brother enjoy it?
<<, but it did get eerily cold and dark.>>
Wow, you got the effect. Ominious.
<<One thing I found curious was all the people who came to see the eclipse without any eye protection whatever, and they didn't even use pinhole projection or anything. >>
That surprises you? People who only read the headlines and funnies?
Is your family now safe ie the terms of the will?
Damn, I have a cold and I don't like it!!!!
