“I knew you'd know”

“It's gonna be baaaad aaaaaasssss....

(if the damn clouds stay outta tha way!)”

“it's supposed to be sleeting here by then....”

“well that sux!”

“...I'm taking my Lear Jet to Nova Scotia to watch the total eclipse of the Moon....

(I just KNOW they'll sing songs about it.....)”

“Fortunately, these hillbilly weather men are idiots....maybe they're wrong”

“...ain't there sumthin' strange about shooting down a satellite during a full lunar eclipse?.....

changed my mind, the gubmint is hiding the war against ALIEN INVASION!

“Impromptu opportunity for a test?

Kindof expensive target, tough......”

“It's pretty convenient that things loaded with toxic fuel.”

“sure...can't give the country the truth about nuclear reactors in space can we?”

“I think it's probably more along the lines of we can't let anyone find our spy satellite technology, so blow it to bits”

“I thought the same rosey, but here in Wisconsin the eclipse is awesome. The moon is bright and full tonight and so far the shadow is just starting in the lower left corner of the moon.”

“cloudy as all get out here. No show for me....and I popped popcorn and everything :(”

“here in coastal NC there was an awesome rainbow of colored rings around the moon
very cool”

“The lunatic is in my head......”

“

About 9.20 cold night in Maine.”

“I saw a bit of it during work. Pretty cool stuff.”

“A little cloudy here, but still getting some good views.”

“Oh My GOD!!! George Bush made the moon disappear!! First a weather machine, now a moon eater!!!!

Almost totally occluded here in N Wisconsin, pretty cool stuff.”

“very cool looking here in SE michigan, we are about to slaughter a goat and sacrifice a virgin. How are you celebratin'?”

“I am having goat fried rice and slobbering on a virgin”

“close enough hyway. Wipe your chin.”

“Some clouds here, so it's a little blurry. Maybe they'll go away in a little while....”

“so it's a little blurry

stop moving”

“well, i only read pig gaelic so I might have gotten my ceremony wrong”

“

Well a little fuzzy - but cool to see.”

“You're supposed to slaughter the GOAT?? crap.... When is the next eclipse????”

“very nice”

“Too cloudy here, can't see anything”

“Moon has risen above some of the clouds, so you can kind of see it. I got the telescope out. Of course, I struggled with the aim for a few minutes before remembering to take off the damn lens cap!”

“Hey! Light is starting to hit it!!”

“Crystal clear here. Hurrah! It looks exactly like that pic as I type.”

“Maybe a little clearer here:



That thing moves damn fast. And it was damn cold out.

“looks like we hit the satellite

“it was really great. my son and i came back from the climbing gym tonight and saw it from our driveway. i got the others up and out of bed to see (we got back late from the gym). it was a cold night and the seeing was excellent. this was one of the best i have seen in a long, long time.”

“It was beautiful. I wanted to get our kid up to see but knew she wouldn't be able to keep her eyes open long enough to make it outside. Next time.”

“It was beautiful from our back yard. Laurel went to bed early last night, thanks to the latest round of germs from school. She didn't see it at all.”

“Too cloudy.”

“Those photos are sweet. It was far too cloudy here to see anything.”

“It was cloudy around here last night and I didn't see any of it.”

“how romantic, our bedroom faces east...my wife and i were able to watch it from our bed”
