Here in North Fort Worth the eclipse started right on time @12:30 central time. I had to stain my fence before the HOA meanies started their property inspections this week, so I stained a few slats ran to the front yard to view the eclipse then ran back to continue staining. I ran out of stain around 1:00pm so sat in my lawn chair and watched the final half hour. There were a few clouds, but the sun always popped out in a couple of seconds. At the point of the total eclipse, it took a minute or two for it to get dark and all the solar lights in the neighborhood came on. I really liked the ring effect when the moon was directly in front of the sun. God provides the best entertainment.
Cool!
