Blue skies and sunshine here. Light diminished just a bit. No big deal.

Pain is dependent on the depth of the burn. A 3rd° burn destroys nerve endings so you would not have pain there. More than pain, the real issue for burn victims is infection and fluid management. Those people who work burn units are angels on earth. It is REALLY hard work, both physically and emotionally.

How are you managing now?

I still have a sensitivity to heat & bright sunshine in the effected areas
Psychologically I'll be in therapy for the remainder of my days.
I suffer from bipolar depression.

I was just wondering if you could see any of it.

306 and it’s noticeably darker. The clouds moved in just around 1pm.

I was right under it... complete darkness for more 3 minutes and the Corona was very visible at the peak of the event.
I'm in Dayton Ohio

 

[Rj_1954]

Definitely dark. The eclipse is not complete here but a crescent.

It passed directly over me. Totally dark and I could see the Corona of the sun. F'n awesome. I'll be 147 before it happens again

Winds gone in Denver. Warming back up.

Recovering from my weekend of being a busy grandfather and amateur chef.

Hope all is well for the group members.

I empathize with ya. Wife's birthday Sunday. It was a party complete with crowd..... Tired tired tired

Eclipse was nada mucho. 80% or so, kind of like the last one here in 2017. I did see the total one in 1972, however.


Carpenters have gotten going here. My plans are coming together.

I may have said that this car was a 1914. It's a 1913. I'm including the link because the ad includes a lot of pictures which some of you might find interesting.

My mom learned to drive in a model A roadster.

Turn the volume up. That buzzing sound is thousands of bees in this cherry tree.

First time I heard it, I was working near it. There were people working on a house across the street and I thought it was them using orbital sanders or something.

Then I looked up and saw thousands of bees in a cherry blossoms…

I’m jealous!

I am at work. They frown on things such as naps here for weird reasons….some abstract ideas about responsibility, wages, contract, etc etc. .

I think naps at work would make me more productive

It’s good enough for the Italians?

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I am.just fed up with it.

Remember to breathe. I have had that feeling, too. My job has had the doldrums all winter, but it didn't last forever. It rarely does.


Breathe . . . .

That's a lovely memory! My parents only drove sticks and insisted we all learn.

The first car I bought by myself was a Mustang. I rocked up to the dealership in tight white jeans and a red and white striped tube top (70s ) asking for a stick shift. The salesman asked, "Do you even know how to drive a stick, little girl?" I very sweetly asked him if he would give me lessons... then proceeded to scare the crap out of him on the test drive. I learned to drive in Italy. So Cal drivers have nothing on Italians!

To quote the late Raul Julia....In the scene from the 'Gumball Rally".....when he breaks off the rear view mirror and tosses it behind and exclaims......"First rule of Italian driving.....what's behind me is not important"

This could be one of the worst songs ever made, but I couldn’t just sit here and watch a classic rock song…

but they cut off Floyd's "Eclipse". to quickly....we needed to hear the final words....."There is no dark side of the moon really! matter of fact its all dark! The only thing that makes it look light, is the sun"
