I'll be stepping outside to view it. Supposed to be partly cloudy but hopefully I'll get to see it.

Wrong - not only will it completely blind you, it will also destroy most of your internal organs, cause you to vomit and sh!t uncontrollably, and worst of all, you will feel sad that Dawson's Creek is over with.

Skies here were pretty clear, then when the eclipse began, a stupid cloud bank rolled in.

Kinda dissapointed. It was clear here.....but it didn't turn BLOOD RED like I was expecting it too. Just sorta pink. Oh well, cool I guess.

There was an eclipse? Whoa. I probably slept through it. It's been cloudy as hell here almost all week anyway.
