(26,060 posts)made sure they (2 goldens - so cute) had been out far ahead of the event. We didn't get the nocturnal effects many were talking about - crickets coming out, bats, other nighttime creatures), just slight dimming of light but with those glasses - it was a whole different world. The photos from NASA are amazing. And we have another that's going to come a lot closer to both of us in 7 years.
What was particularly nice - as when events happen that bring NYers together - was talking to strangers, laughing together, sharing the experience. Most of the time, looking someone in the eye is considered an act of aggression and we're ALWAYS in a rush. These "come together and share" times are few and far between so I like to enjoy them when they occur.
