Today was Great American Eclipse day and therefore time for more excitement and hype, since this was the first total eclipse since 1979. School was extended by 30 minutes and the day was spent doing eclipse related activities leading up to the 97% eclipse visible here in Atlanta around 2.35pm. The weather conditions were perfect and all local children were provided with special eclipse glasses. Many places including Jonathan's workplace, had eclipse viewing parties. People were desperately trying to get hold of eclipse glasses right up to the last minute and the local prices went sky high! #School
