Solar Eclipse

August 21, 2017 was a rare thing in our area of the world. We were going to be able to see a full solar eclipse from the Northern US. I heard that such a thing hasn't happened since sometime in the late 1970's. When we were in Idaho for vacation, every gas station and store had "eclipse viewing glasses" for sale and they were pushing them hard. I think it was the only big thing to happen in Idaho for the last couple decades. In Salt Lake, we were only able to see a 97% eclipse, but it was close enough for me! It was dubbed by the news stations as the "The Great American Eclipse". So many of our friends and clients headed up to the close cities of Idaho to try and catch the "total eclipse". Since we had to work that day, we took a break around 11:00 and gathered outside on the plaza to see the monumental event. I gave Trace a good talk before dropping him off at daycare (ALTA Canyon Sports Center) and warned him not to look at the eclipse without his special glasses. He did pretty good I guess and when I asked him what he thought about it, he just said it "took forever" and "moved slow". It is the moon Trace....silly boy! On my office plaza, the husband of one of my employees put on a Tyrannosaurus Rex costume and carried a sign saying; "We thought it was just an eclipse too". Hahaha! So funny! I didn't take this picture represented below, but it was a good representation of what we got to see.
