Pop culture reference, bro.

You know, Vin Diesel, alien monsters that come out in darkness and chomp off body parts. Now that's my kind of solar eclipse.

I don't have glasses but my camera phone selfie attempt was a big failure. Big props to the Jet that just left an exhaust trail perfectly in the way viewing from Sunnyside.

I wonder what Acklands' exchange policy is? I'm thinking a lot of 'Welders' are going to be returning their helmets this afternoon.

Anyone notice how cool your shadow looks right now? It's like it's in high def.

I'm trying to find a live stream that has reactions of people experiencing it. Frustrating.

"When I see a solar eclipse, like the one I went to last year in Hawaii, I think 'Oh no! Is the moon eating the sun?' I don't know. Because I'm a caveman -- that's the way I think."

I looked at the sun. Still seemed super sun-like and bright to me. And now I've got this colourful orb clouding my vision.

What a bust.
