MEREDITH. WELL, YOU NEED A COUPLE OF THINGS TO HAVE A GOOD SOLAR ECLIPSE WATCH PARTY. SO THE FIRST THING YOU NEED IS A GOOD LOCATION. AND HERE, THE ROOFTOP DECK AT TELUS 360 IN DOWNTOWN LANCASTER. CHECK. NEXT THING YOU NEED IS A GOOD GROUP OF PEOPLE. YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOME GOOD FRIENDS. THERE WERE MORE THAN 200 PEOPLE HERE AT THE HEIGHT OF THE ECLIPSE, SO CHECK THAT OFF THE LIST. NEXT YOU NEED CLEAR SKIES IS WHERE? ALL RIGHT, YOU CAN’T HAVE IT ALL. BUT THE PEOPLE WHO WERE HERE AT TELUS 360 DID HAVE A REALLY GOOD TIME WATCHING THIS SPECIAL CELESTIAL EVENT FROM THE YOUNG TO THE YOUNG AT HEART, AND AGES IN BETWEEN ALL EYES WERE ON THE SKY FOR MUCH OF MONDAY AFTERNOON. EVERYONE HOPING TO GET A GOOD GLIMPSE OF THE SOLAR ECLIPSE. THIS IS MY FIRST ECLIPSE, SO I DIDN’T REALLY KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT, BUT I’VE ENJOYED IT AND IT WAS BEAUTIFUL. THE WEATHER DIDN’T TOTALLY COOPERATE, ESPECIALLY AT THE HEIGHT OF THE ECLIPSE. IT WAS NEVER GOING TO BE A TOTAL ECLIPSE IN LANCASTER ANYWAY, BUT CLOUDS MOSTLY BLOCKED THE SKY WHEN THE MOON MOSTLY BLOCKED THE SUN. AIDEN GOT OUT OF CLASS TODAY SO HE DIDN’T MIND. I THINK IT WAS THUMBS UP. WELL, WE ONLY GOT WE GOT 90% OF IT, BUT I STILL THINK IT WAS. I STILL THINK IT WAS PRETTY GOOD FOR OTHERS. THEY ARE OFFERING MIXED REVIEWS. TOO MANY CLOUDS, CLOUD COVER. YOU KNOW, YOU COULDN’T SEE IT AND IT WAS GOOD. IT WAS EXCITING. BUT YOU KNOW YOU SAW IT BETTER WITH YOUR NAKED EYE THAN YOU DID WITH THE WITH THE FUNKY GLASSES YOU HAD TO PUT ON. SO SOMETIMES IT WAS JUST EASIER TO HOLD THOSE PAPER GLASSES UP TO YOUR FACE. FOR OTHERS, A MODIFIED TELESCOPE WAS THE WAY TO GO AT SOME POINT, EVERYONE WAS LOOKING UP. SO A LOT OF PEOPLE I TALKED TO WERE VERY COGNIZANT ABOUT THEIR MORTALITY TODAY. THEY WERE SAYING IF THEY DIDN’T COME WATCH TODAY, IT WOULD BE 20 YEARS UNTIL THE NEXT ECLIPSE. AND THEY SAID THEY COULD BE DEAD. SO THERE’S A LOT OF THAT TODAY. SO WE WISH ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE GOOD HEALTH, AND WE HOPE THAT THEY WILL BE AROUND IN 20, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, WHATEVER THE NEXT ONE IS, WE’RE NOT GOING TO CALCULATE HOW OLD WILL BE DURING THAT TIME. AND IF ED IS GOING TO KEEP HIS GLASSES, MAYBE I’LL KEEP MINE. I DON’T KNOW, MAYBE THIS IS GOOD FOR THE SKIN AND AROUND YOUR EYES. LIKE MAYBE THAT’LL KEEP YOUR EYES LOOKING YOUNGER. I’M NOT EXACTLY SURE, BUT IF YOU SEE ME WEARING THESE AROUND THE REST OF THE WEEK, IT’S BECAUSE I THINK THAT IT MIGHT, LIKE, PREVENT WRINKLES AROUND MY EYES. I DON’T KNOW IF THAT’S PROVEN. IT’S
