    I am listening to the NASA live stream. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MJY_ptQW1o

    It couldn't be anymore dumbed down. Well it could be, but even the standard maroon would spot it.

    They even brought up "pink rainbows" at Niagara Falls.

    Got some NASCAR driver to give his opinion and talk about tire grip and the sun.

    The total eclipse might have been cool.

    Not that big here.

    Did not get very dark.

    I probably should have traveled South an hour. Oh well. My neighbor did and said it was awesome and no crowds at that location.

    The Nasa live stream I still consider dumbed down for 2nd graders and puppies.
