Thanks for the addition!

3. +2

Less than 15 minutes until the beginning of the partial phase.

5. About a quarter of the moon in shadow now.

Clouds are starting to move in and there is lightning to the north.

7. I'm watching it too. Very cool

[Sherman A1]

8. Thanks again

For the reminder. I got the camera and long lens out and got a few shots. Now just need to let my feet warm up again.

[Arkansas Granny]

10. Oh, post the pics later, if you can. The view here was kinda hazy,

when you could see it at all. Still pretty cool.

[Sherman A1]

15. I would, but never had too much luck posting pics here

and haven't really looked at them that will be later on.

Right now, chores to do as it is The Weekend for me!

11. total eclipse

Here in Japan it's about 7:30 and I'm making dinner, have to go back and forth from balcony and moon to stove and quesadillas. The old guy who lives alone in a small apartment building down the street came out and smoked and watched, the family that runs a children's art school had a telescope, heads popped out all along the sixth floor, people in houses came out in the street. The moon was reflected in the stream below then disappeared. Crickets sing loudly, the sky clouds over. Quesadillas will be sacrificed and the moon will return.

[Arkansas Granny]

12. That's cool. I was watching by myself. Clouds have moved in now.

[Phentex]

16. Had a very good view here...

the dog was confused as to why we were out on the deck so early this morning.

[Arkansas Granny]

18. I hope the dog enjoyed the company.

4. Darn it

National Bring Your Teddy Bear To Work & School Day and I have the day off from work today. I guess I will have a pierogi and play with my friend's kind of overweight dog.

6. Kickin it for ~ World Day of Bullying Prevention

Now I know why I bought Pirogies on my last shopping trip.
We'll have 'em for supper tonight.

My doggy lost weight this summer.

[Sherman A1]

9. Looks like you were

Planning ahead and you are all ready to celebrate!

[In_The_Wind]

13. There's a big part of me that always plans ahead.

Some times it works out very well , some times not so much .

I'm gonna hug my teddy bear all day today. (just because I can)

[Sherman A1]

14. I try to plan ahead, but always remember the phrase

"no amount of planning replaces dumb luck."

17. For all of the first graders who are having "Teddy Bear Picnics" today:

[geardaddy]

22. Thanks!

a nice addition to the "holiday"....

[pinboy3niner]

23. My Teddy bear made me stay up to watch the lunar eclipse

He hates the work/school day thing, so he said we'd just call the eclipse 'Show and Tell' and check him off.

[Sherman A1]

24. ....

I was up early and caught most of the eclipse, but the damn teddy bear chose to sleep in .

I could barely believe it......
