Eclipse!

Here it comes! Soon will be sipping mimosas in the front yard waiting to see how the chickens will react. We all got glasses (not the chickens and cats) and are stoked. It was cloudy yesterday but nothing but clear skies this AM.

At some point in the future
At some point in the future the moon, having been slowly spiraling away from earth (as it is), will no longer be large enough in the sky to cover the sun, and there will be no more eclipses.

Sunny & Hot here in central Jerseyland. Clear sky, 80's temps. I may take the Dog out in the Woods and continue mowing the Woods roads; they've gotten overgrown with all the Rain. Eclipse will make for some cooler temps to facilitate sweatless mowing. About an hour before the 74% 'totality'.

watched a lil on NASA tv..some pretty cool stories more than any real viewing..they say the camera just cant capture what all you lucky people that are in totality can actually see....
we ll be between 65-70% here...so , not much to see, except that itll get dark outside...or darker etc....
my sister is in totality in south carolina and is seeing her first total eclipse, so itll be interesting to hear what she has to say...

Well, that was pretty cool. Strange, very dim lighting, funky shadows, and much cooler temperatures. Traffic on the roads this morning was practically non-existent and could have headed down to Salem easy.
And meanwhile, over at the Eclipse Fest, a dude got "scared" by the music and decided he had to leave, running over a couple of tents in the process:

Yea...I know...this is pretty
Yea...I know...this is pretty far out stuff, however that's exactly why it intrigues me!
The eclipse today reminded me of the ancient, lost, Sun Mystery. I suggest checking this out. Much of the study of the sun is to try to figure out why it is hotter on the surface than at it's core....maybe because the sun is actually a reflector. Also, I believe that Julian The Apostate actually wanted to force the Christians to maintain & preserve the Sun Mystery as a part of Christianity and they refused...thus his real intent is quite often not explained correctly.
http://www.overlordsofchaos.com/html/sun_mystery.html
excerpt: Believing that when we apprehend the Sun all we see is a globe of gas moving through space is the product of materialistic thinking first witnessed in ancient Greece, but which has found its apotheosis in the intellect of Western man. The fact is, if physicists would journey into space, and use appropriate measuring equipment, they would discover that the Sun is not a globe of gas giving out light, but that it is a reflector, which cannot itself radiate light, but at most reflect light back from whence it came. This seems strange to modern intellects. But, in the spiritual sense, light streams out from the planets and although physically it appears as though the Sun gives the planets light, in reality, it is the planets that radiate light to the Sun and the Sun simply reflects this back into the solar system.
This relationship was readily understood by the wise men of ancient Persia with their instinctive, non-rationalised, wisdom. And in this sense, the Sun was regarded as the earthly source ofLight, but not as the ultimate source itself, but simply as the reflector of the Light. Then, as human consciousness evolved the Egyptians and Chaldeans perceived the Sun as the reflector of Life and later, as the human descent into matter proceeded, among the Greeks, the Sun was seen as the reflector of Love. And, it was this later manifestation of the Sun Mystery that Julian the Apostate wanted to preserve but which Dark Forces wanted extinguished and so had him killed. Julian the Apostate was resolved to preserve the ancient Gnostic wisdom and its memorials which could have made it possible for the true Sun Mystery to find its way to men. For, in the first centuries of Christendom, Christ was still regarded as a Sun-Figure, an Apollo, by people still imbued with Gnostic consciousness.

Do you all remember Mark Twain's story, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court? (Movie with Danny Kaye.)
An engineer is transported back to King Arthur's time and knows that an eclipse occurred then. He uses the info to his advantage and all's well.
It's been years since I read the book or saw the movie, but I remember them as very good.

Soooo,
Took Mr. Hüsky out to the Woods and ran the mower, chopping the overgrowth on some woods roads which allow access to Fields & Forest.
It was clear & sunny when we headed out there, but prior to the 74% 'totality' clouds arrived out of nowhere, obscuring the visuals... all 20-25 minutes thereof.
Tried my best to stare at the Sun through the stands of tall Oaks & Ashes, but clouds were the deterrent towards retinal Burn. It barely got Dark or Cool.
Still, got a ton of maintenance mowing accomplished, and Dog & I got a few miles of exercise with all the mowing, trips back to the Barn for more Gas, and trots along the freshly - mown Woods roads.
Keeping the overgrowth down makes for tick - free jaunts out amongst the Big Trees. The ticks love to lurk on tall weeds & grass and jump on mammals passing by. Little fuckers have infrared vision.
Usually, this time of year stuff will get waist - to shoulder height unmowed.
So, remedial mowing keeps the tractor trails from getting taken over by brush.
Hopefully we'll both be around for the next Solar Eclipse, with clear skies.

There was a shortage of safe viewing glasses around here. Someone put an ad on Craigslist for 70 pair at $5 each.

A partial solar eclipse was visible across the entire North American continent along with parts of South America, Africa, and Europe.
