Same to you!

I didn't know about the QE connection. :)

Do you remember August 21, 2017, when we had a near total solar eclipse? (maybe not where you are).

The weird light, or lack of it, in the middle of the afternoon was a bit strange.

We're in New Mexico and the the path was a good bit north of us tho there was some atmospheric effects visible. I've seen several partial and 1 or 2 total solar eclipses over the course of my life due to miving around a good bit. Most memorable was late 1960s in NYC. A cousin i hadn't seen in years was in town for one day and we spent the afternoon together, i'd forgotten about the eclipse till it was getting dark. We were in a park near my apt and it was way too early in afternoon for it to get dark. The birds in the park got quiet.

It is almost always kind of weird when they happen and you can understand why they scared primitive mankind.
