Kind of dreary here. Temps okay at around 70 but gray and gloomy looking.

Like I just ran over its dog.

I'm irritated, the forecast calls for clouds and possible rain on Monday just as totality approaches in the early afternoon.

^They are watching weather here too.

Facebook local pages have people freaking out trying to find eclipse safety glasses. In the last few day I have been in more stores than I usually enter in a month's time. Every one has had at least a box full of them that I saw. If we get the clouds they are calling for, it's not really going to matter.

I'm just glad I didn't spend any money on travel or a hotel/AirBnB.

Haven't looked outside yet.

I have read things about how the eclipse might affect pets and other animals.  Some dogs may freak out like they do in a storm and birds might think they should be going to sleep.  In the Dallas area the full eclipse is supposed to last less than four minutes.  For some reason I think the dogs and the parrots can hang in there for four minutes.  I suppose we will see.

I'm going to stay inside Monday, lest I have an attack of the stupids and decide to look at the sun.

They do act weird - we witnessed birds roosting, dogs barking and such. Yeah, they hang in there.

I hear the rumblings of thunder. Then I peek outside to see a foreboding grey sky and gusting winds. No cloud tears yet.
