Cloud-out for TX/OK? I'm cool with that. Mrs mjohnson is still hoping to do the 14h each-way-if-no-traffic from here in NM to see the totality. As awesome as an eclipse is, I'm not ready to deal with the mayhem.

I've seen two. One was from a ship in the gulf of CA in '91 and one was NW of Scotsbluff NE in '17. The one on the plains was a massive traffic "experience". I can't imagine something closer to larger populations...

The sad think is that it seems like this is the last in a little surge of them -- it may be some years/decades until we see more in the USA.

And yes, of course we'll be with the hordes, and likely out of gas somewhere on I40...
