What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Bob Roberts]

I drove a good 5 hours today to be in the path of totality and I gotta say... it was worth it for me.

"Totally" right. Everywhere else musta just looked like an overcast sky.

Probably. Being in the middle of nowhere and everything gets dark despite a clear sky was pretty cool though. Bonus; I didn't go blind.

"Total" garbage. A nothing burger.

Wow... sorry it wasn't good for you Bob. I am in SW Kentucky. We had 2 minutes 20 seconds of totality. It was the most incredible natural phenomenon I have seen. Temperature was in the 90s and it was very humid. There were problematic cumulus clouds during the first half hour of the eclipse. As the moon covered more of the sun the temperature dropped (15 degrees by totality) and the big clouds were euthanized by the changes. That added to the emotion as I had been sweating the forecast for days. I will share photos and describe more when I return home. I brought one hat - a Stetson balibuntal, but I only wore it at night. A Tilley badly in need of a bath was on my head during the day.

Can't wait to see and hear more!

Thanks Alan. I really thought 68%-70% would bring some darkness. Hazy slightly overcast skies cut down on the degree of light change but all in all it wasnt even as dark as a large thunderhead moving across the sun. The eclipse glasses cut down the glare and help define the eclipse shadow so at least that was interesting. Look forward to year totality pictures. We're they done though your telescope?

You can still try it in 2024...

Yes. My thoughts exactly. It will be a bigger and better eclipse in my area.

Great bow work, subtle color combination, just a beautiful hat. Nice work, Esther!

Big presentation today for the OSU Alumni Association. I will be talking about our oral history project with clips from famous alumni. Since the Gannon was still out of it's box, I decided to brave the predicted temperatures.

Nice morning to try this Resistol Stagecoach. Bonus, while cleaning out and trying to salvage the beat up box, I found the hat pin wedged into the corner.

I think a little bike ride to the library is the plan for the morning.

Gannon in Silvermist.

They're predicting rain today, Bob. I knew you'd want that info.

Today I wear my Stetson Pinnacle. This is a super nice hat but I seldom wear it because it's a tad big on me. It's for sale, $200 including the box and free ship in the States. Size 7 1/8 but wears bigger.

I love that Gannon, Jim. Just a great hat!
