| Cheeky cookie celebration of Eclipse Day! Thanks, Jan! |
We celebrated at our office with cookies. A couple of us made a shadow box (Pro Tip: make the hole for the shadow box with a pin or tack - not with a nail. I tried both and the image from the pin hole was much more distinct.). One of my fellow employees, Elizabeth, brought official Eclipse glasses.

| Only two of us made shadow boxes to view the event. Note to self: smaller pin hole (no nails) works best! |
It was troublesome that clouds rolled in at 1:10 pm just before the peak eclipse coverage of the Sun. But we could see glimpses through the clouds, in the shadow boxes and a couple of good looks through the glasses. It was just enough for me to feel a part of an historic event.
The light outside dimmed noticeably and some of us thought the temperature cooled a bit as well.

After it was over we all returned to work. So there you have a summation of my experience of #SolarEclipse2017 from Arlington Heights, IL. We were roughly 300 miles from the totality path.
