I don't know why I didn't get excited about the eclipse today but I didn't. I was working from home. Somewhere between 3 and 4 in the afternoon, the quality of the outdoor light changed. It dimmed. The world around me seemed slightly more shadowy. That was it.
After work, I headed out to the woods with a few items in my new backpack. The last storm took down a lot of great old trees and large parts of others. Sustained wind, wet snow and ice, and then powerful gusts proved a lethal combination. A tall oak fell in front of my house too. It snapped off about 15 feet up the trunk saving my house and car by choosing to fall in a neutral direction.
I'm sorry friends. It hurt to see you broken like that.
