Solar Eclipse
We have our viewing glasses ready. Corpus Christi is getting geared up for the eclipse on Saturday. Lots of visitors expected! Officials said that they are treating it like Spring Break! News said to watch starting at around 10:30 AM.

I was so excited about this event. But, as per usual here in Central Oregon it will be a no-show. Why? because of cloud cover, every time there is a major celestial event such as a meteor shower, solar eclipse (I was able to see one quite a few years back), lunar eclipse, super moon, or even stars and planets lining up. We have cloud cover!...lol

Corpus had 66% cloud coverage. This pic was captured when clouds thinned out enough to see with naked eye. Eventually, they thinned enough to use the special glassed. Ring of Fire was very cool!
I was still caring for Mom when DD called and said she could see "a bite out of the sun". She was closer to the coast, and I think less cloud coverage. And she thanked me for the glasses.
