[NFBWATLK] Solar Eclipse

[Debby Phillips]

Wow, I use the app today and it was really cool! Plus I sat outside you know I got a pair of those glasses and although my eyes are I'm not real there a prosthetic, I felt a little burning I guess there are some nerves back there so I put on the glasses and it felt better. Anyway I loved being outside. It was great I could also feel the heat of the sun decreasing as they come as it got darker. But the app was awesome! I'm kind of excited for when is it 2024 when the next one happens? If I'm still around that is. LOL. Anyway I hope those of you who went outside enjoyed it.
