One of my neighbors had an eclipse party.

All houses in the neighborhood got a flier on the door about the party. I was not able to go but my wife just sent me a text about it. Said she met neighbors she had never even seen from our own neighborhood. The neighbor holding the party had glasses for everyone. The party was full of energy, conversation, and excitement. This is in an area where it wasn't even close to a full eclipse.

My wife walks our dog up and down the street multiple times a day, always talking to neighbors She thinks she has made some new friends.

I was somewhat ambivalent about the eclipse. Now I think it was nothing but one big win. Ohhh, and Trump looked like an idiot again.
