Nothing special here other than avoiding the traffic. It hits here
about when one gets off work (at the main part for us). I'll probably
keep the sighted dog in at the peak just so he doesnt get scared a
little but only if the squirrels are acting up (not likely). Might keep
the blind one in too if the squirrels start chittering oddly.

Probably nothing here. We are not in the full eclipse line. More like
something near 80% or so. A good thundercloud can do that.
