I'll be on a paddle board in the gulf looking to see what the fishies do. I hope it doesn't make sharks go berserk!

Well we're getting partial eclipse now in SoWal! Very cool. Got eclipse glasses. Tried a selfie shot of the sun but just shows a big white blob of a sun.

It doesn't look like this in person. You only see the corona around a really dark spot. Apparently the sun's rays bend around the moon into the lens. But the experience is awesome.

I bet it was cool in SC ... I enjoyed all the coverage on CNN and Science Channel.
