Regular indoor critters should stay indoors. Otherwise, nature will rule behavior. I did bring the two strays inside as they appeared concerned. Could be the event, or could be the coyote. All safe.

Stay away from anyone named Delores.......
And Jessie.
Yes, and if someone you don't like tries to get you to go for a walk near an abandoned well during the height of the eclipse, don't do it! No one will hear you scream! 
Aw hell. You HAD to bring up the unfortunate goat sacrificing stuff....
this is not a joke. I'm hearing frogs, like you would hear them right at dusk in a van down by the river.
lol I forgot about your affinity for them DJ...lol
"No goats were sacrificed during the filming of this eclipse."
There you go
Just read this. Seems the small percentages make a big difference. Interesting.
While plenty of folks here are planning to head north to see the total eclipse, others seem content to stay in Cheyenne and Laramie, which are expected to see around 98 percent of the sun covered by the moon on Monday. Many are encouraged by the understandable misconception that 98 is almost as much as 100.
Unfortunately, that's not really the case when it comes to a solar eclipse. The brightness of the sun when it is 99 percent covered is several thousands times brighter than when it is fully covered during an eclipse, so that extra 1 percent actually makes for a very different experience.
My homemade projector is not working! It is pretty cloudy here at the house. Tried taking pic in selfie mode, but it still looks round to me. Looks like it is about 8 pm though. Kinda eerie. We should really start getting dark in about 10 min.
Oh, I had no misconceptions. But it was dark here and the street lights came on. Very eerie indeed.
We live in a sort of rural area with lots of horse ranches, cows, sheep, etc. around us and across the road and it was very quiet here. No animals did any extra braying or seem agitated at all. Of course we only had about 65% coverage and it never got dark.
Neesy

I think I slept through it (I'm on night shift tonight)
Congratulations on the retirement!!
So, according to danie, we won't get dark dark...but DJ you said it was dark where you are?
No street lights on here yet. Still looks like right about sunset time.
Weird, it is clear skies for Scott and he can see it. We are a bit cloudy just 15 miles away and not much of a show here at all.
Not night time dark, but dark enough the street lights came on. The sliver of light was still quite large. But it was really creepy feeling. Like just before dusk.
