MIDWEEK MUSINGS: SURREAL

Forecasted clouds and rain must have chased away the  500K supposed eclipse out-of-town guests to Arkansas.  Restaurants had geared up for all that business but with a no-show, they used social media to notify their patrons they had cooked for the masses to please come patronize their businesses.

Even Sunday the streets were eerily deserted.  Would we really get a glimpse of an eclipse? The 80 degree day was intense heat but when that moon blocked thsun it was incredible how quickly the temp dropped. 

And afterwards the presence of sunlight created an almost surreal lighting.  Was it its absence which intensified color.

 WOW now an eclipse is a lot more impressive than one might imagine.
