You’ll have to wait almost 3 decades to see it again, so what did you think of the eclipse?

So what did you think?

Was it worth all the hype leading up to the eclipse?

Or was the Great American Eclipse just another great disappointment?

Maybe you’re just glad you won’t have to hear about again for another 28 years.

Well, at least we had clear skies, allowing those of you who were able to get out of the office a good opportunity to view the moon cover about 88 percent of the sun.
