The major highways in my area warning drivers

" Do not pull over to side of road to watch eclipse. "

No doubt some idiots will.
Oh, you can count on that. :cautious: People gawking out their car windows while driving on the highway; others trying to take a photo out the window with their phone, while car is moving, etc. (Not to mention, the idiots who take a photo of the eclipse with their phones, can wreck their lens on the phone. A special filter is needed for phones.)

On CNN , a few got married by the justice of the peace and are enjoying their first dance during the eclipse outside.

Also, bonus…
As the eclipse was waning I noticed shadows on the ground, so I got out my special glasses and was able to actually observe it for a few minutes, before the clouds covered it again…a once in a lifetime experience…!!!!! :happy:

I've been watching WMUR (New Hampshire) coverage of the eclipse up there. In the farthest northern town (Pittsburg, NH) I think they're close to about 8 minutes now to totality.

Update -- Pittsburg, NH in totality now.

Here where I am in MA, it's getting slightly darker, but our area is not in the main path of totality. I think I heard we might get (up to) 70%. Anyway, I don't have those glasses, so can't really look up at the sky.

Beyond cool -- top of Mount Washington (6,288 feet), NH -- totality (Edit -- forgot to mention that it was in the ballpark time of Pittsburg, NH).
Ella is now watching outside. Don't worry; she can't look directly at the sun from that spot.

I was watching some show this morning, and supposedly, animals' eyes aren't affected by the eclipse. It only applies to human eyes. (Has something to do with their history of living/surviving in the outdoors. I don't have any scientific reference for this - just passing it along as a general fyi that I heard, only.)
