Home!

Great! With you back, we can start working on our book!

So I couldn't find a general thread in which to discuss the entirety of SSOASS, so I thought I'd get us a little nearer to post 100,000 instead.

Just go make one.

Just go make one.

...yeah, that would've worked too.

And now, pardon the interruption, back to seeing how long until we hit post 100,000.

There is never a bad time and place for stating the greatness of SSOASS.

And off I go to start a thread.

Is anyone here going to be in a good spot to check out the eclipse tomorrow?

 

[Travis The Dragon]

You just know you want to go to Disney with this on!

 

[Brigantium]

I just wouldn't want to go to Disney.

No way, that's another Epica song title.

Choir: the path of totality
Growling: eclipse!!!!!
Choir: the path of totality, passing over me

*heavy riff*
Simone: *opera stuff*

The first time in my life that I have the chance to see a solar eclipse in person, and of course it's cloudy the entire time.

 

[Black Wizard]

Exactly the same thing happened to me two years ago. It was overcast all morning (and bloody cold) because of the eclipse. Once the eclipse ended the cloud broke up and the sky cleared up. So basically the eclipse stopped the sun breaking up the cloud which prevented us from seeing the eclipse.

I've also been unlucky with the last few eclipses, both the last partial solar eclipse and some lunar eclipses.

In other news: Today I was in one of these:

Is that in case of a helicopter ditching at sea?

Was that the official explanation then? Oh the irony! It was exactly the same down here in Hampshire. And I had booked the day off work months in advance so I could go to the park at the top of the hill to watch the eclipse, and it was so overcast I couldn't even be sure where the sun was!

Also I had purchased five solar viewers for the occasion, and left the other four at work in case anyone wanted to sneak out to the car park and have a look. One of them came back to me the next day with a post-it attached which said "They were SO good I missed it! LOL!"
