If you still have your retinas, check out these photos from today’s solar eclipse:

    “If you still have your retinas … ”
    LOL!

    Saw great coverage of the total eclipse on the Weather Channel today … wish I could’ve been at one of those “hot spots” myself.

    But nope, I was in my backyard in Trumbull, and my iPhone pics looked just like the first Compo pic here, around 2:45 today, with no discernible moon shape … just a hint of the muted glare of the sun.

    Wish I’d thought ahead of time to get a pair of those safe-viewing glasses. Oh well.
