For those who were clouded out, sorry I brought it up. The IR satellite
image from 8 p.m. yesterday showed a very thick wall of clouds oriented
NNE-to-SSW, with the usual rapid motion of low clouds to the NNE as the
whole system very slowly dragged through. That edge of that wall was
right over Phoenix, apparently shutting out everybody roughly west of
Central Avenue. By 9:00 we didn't see any more of the moon than the
"white glow" from Tempe, not that it's any consolation.
I will admit to having completely forgotten about the ball game during the
eclipse.
