THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 23, 2017
‘What did you think of the eclipse?’
“I have mixed feelings
about the eclipse.
When I was a little
kid, it was pitch
dark during the day.
It was cool to watch,
though. I had a great
shot at home, it was beautiful.”
THE DAILY ASTORIAN // QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Shanna Davis, Hammond
“I tried to watch it. I got up
early and stuff, but with the
problem with the glasses, I
used a pin prick with a piece
of paper, but I didn’t see any-
thing. It got cooler, though. It
still looked light to me. I would
have liked to see what everyone else saw, but
didn’t want to take a chance on going blind.”
“I thought it was
amazing. I was at the
C olumn, and it was
beautiful. It was funny
to see people wearing
the glasses, and it was
nice to see people with their
families and getting together.”
Siham Erragh, New York City and France
