obv some type of irl solar eclipse act. I just don't understand what makes it worth posting, seems rather mundane *shrug* heh

Went out of my way not to see it. Had a spot all set up with some friends on top of a bald mountain in the totality, but found out my friend had to go to court in Northern VA that day and decided to go with her so she didn't feel super ****ty. We watched it from the VT campus in Blacksburg at about 90% totality.

I have wanted to visit VT ever since the shooting, anyway. Awesome campus. Could not imagine that being the site of what happened there.

I find it very hard to go to places where such horror occurred. I swore to myself that I would never go to the 9/11 memorial, but went two weeks ago, because my fiancé had friends visiting from NC and wanted to see it.

It sucked.

Knowing that thousands of innocent people were murdered in the spot I was standing was a disgusting feeling.

I won't go back, as long as I can help it.

I've been where there's been 2 eclipses, I recall both of them, made an effort for the first and saw the second on the school run; I honestly couldn't tell you much else about either of them tbh. Obviously didn't leave much of an impression.

I've been to ground zero twice while it was rebuilding and last year visited the memorial. The memorial was WAY more shocking to me. Before it was harder to register because the site looked like any other demo/construction site. The memorial with the names or whatever, and how quiet everybody was made it more impactful imo.

I am always amazed by places that can go through these tragedies and somehow remain to move past them and prosper further. It is impressive to me in a strange way. I don't have any morbid curiosity about shootings or death, but I think it is worth spending a little time thinking about them, and what it means, how those events change our role as normal citizens. I was very moved by the story of the Israeli holocaust survivor who helped his students escape before being killed himself, and being that I feel a connection to the Jewish people by way of my friends and family, I felt compelled to visit that site and pay my respects, so to speak.

I get all that, but being from NY I'm sure made that day a lot more real to me than for someone not from the area. A lot of my family works in manhattan. My father saw the 2nd plane hit. Two of my uncles were in the area when the plane hit, and were two of the people covered in soot from the pictures. I am very lucky, in that I don't know anyone directly who was killed in the attacks, but I know many people who lost loved ones that day.

What kokiri means to say is: the way you embed a gifv is by embedding it as a gif.

I was hoping people would just see me as a latter day magician.

I watched totality from the top of a mountain. Was ****ing sweet and will do it again.
08-23-2017 , 03:09 PM
It being in April will be a bit of a problem. Very likely to be overcast if not a full out blizzard

Where are you?
08-23-2017 , 03:39 PM
Looking at the images of the us eclipses, I think the ones I saw must have been marred by cloud.
08-23-2017 , 03:57 PM
I remember being in Llangollen when I was ~14 and we drove about 2 hours to get a good spot for the eclipse and it was very cloudy and underwhelming
08-23-2017 , 03:59 PM
I was on the mumbles.

I went to Wyoming for the eclipse. It was great. I agree, totality or nothing though. Looking forward to 2024 and not having to leave home. 2024's going to be over 4 minutes of totality too, so twice as good as this one.

Well I think my subtle post in the New Mod thread went unnoticed so I should probably announce here

We're expecting a Little Rutt, or Mini Stuck if you will, March 2018

Maybe people just did not care. Congrats.
08-24-2017 , 10:11 AM
Congratulations are in order
