I remember reading about the eclipse about 20 years ago and the Big day is finally here.
Anyone in the States going to be in the path of totality?
I wanted so badly to travel up to South Carolina or Tennessee to be directly under the path, but with my open wound from the spider bite I need to be in a controlled area when changing the dressing .. it's healing nicely, no infection and ... Well, I like having two legs so I'm taking the ounce of prevention method.
Besides that . The transmission in my van has been showing signs of trouble
Getting to a area of clear skies, sitting in traffic jams.
Bah ..I saw enough on the news to change my mind.. stores running out of water gas stations running out of gas..

Yeah.. I'm staying home and enjoy clear skies and 81% eclipse. There will be enough coverage of the sun to darken the sky equivalent to dusk hours. The temperature should drop some too. That'll be a cool experience..
