So you're saying that your place is cheaper than the HI Express down the road? Sign us up! I still have two hours to cancel without a penalty...

But seriously kids, it's worth making more than a little effort to see. It is nothing like pictures or any experience of a partial or annular eclipse. I'm as far from "mystical and woo" as it comes and still it's quite a show.

Two previous ones (1991 Baja MX and 2017 Wyoming/Nebraska) for me. It'll be #2 for Mrs mjohnson and spawn - and now that our schedules are opening up we're looking for the next one wherever it might be.

If you're in a crowd during totality, turn around and get some photos of your fellow viewers - anyone can find at any time far better images of the actual sun/moon/coronae/etc but those pictures don't capture the entirety of the thing...
