From my front porch. Got a front row view of the eclipse and don't have to go anywhere

Total
But the ring still very bright.
Spectacular.
As you can tell the clouds cleared just in time.
Star is visible to the right.

First time I've ever seen a sunset in the south and east

Head throbbing from researching dash cams

So hard to tell what hundreds of dollars price difference does or doesn’t get you.

Leaning to the WiFi app type vs display. Think display could prove distracting.

Decided to go with the bargain end Viofo from Amazon. The single cam VS1 for my truck, the 3 channel T130 for the Spark, both hard wired.

seemed like a nonevent here, glad Ken took that pic so I can see what I missed.
pretty cloudy out

went to dentist, tooth has to be pulled, went to oral surgeon down the street,
unpleasant woman behind desk refused to tell me the cost of pulling a tooth, just that
the first visit was mandatory, 265 including xray, which I had this morning up the street,
and only then could they quote the cost of pulling a tooth. I asked her calmly if she could give me a range
so that I had a general idea. No, you must have a consultation.
I walked out.

my primary dentist will call back with another referral.
this other guy in town is supposed to be good but his staff is not helping him at all.
if you are going to hurt me and charge me a lot of money to do it,
you had better be awfully nice to me.

picked up scrip for more amoxyllin and super tylenol. Doing ok, clearly there was nothing on the xray or he would
have told me. So antibiotic will kill the hurt but not fix the problem.
so many specialists, one for root canals, one for pulling teeth, one for orthodontics, one for cleaning and cavities.
I'm sure I'm missing another one.

thanks for the eclipse pics guys.

I got a kick of the doom and gloom referring to the eclipse.

There was so much fuss about bringing your animals inside, close the blinds, etc....

The cows across the street kept on eating grass. Heard a couple of moos from the calves, but they have been pretty talkative anyway.

Dog picked her head up from the couch for a second when I peaked inside on her, then laid her head back down to finish her nap
