NASA has all the fun. Can’t wait to see their pictures. They’ll be better than mine! We’re building viewing boxes this morning.

I’ve got mine ready (we’re in the 90% range), but it’s rainy and cloudy here today so I’m not optimistic. It’ll at least be cool to watch it get dark.

We’re getting 65% coverage in Austin. I’m trying to remember if I’ve ever experienced a solar eclipse. I think I vaguely remember seeing it get darker. I read that the last one visible from the US was 38 years ago. I would have been 12 or 13.

I remember being kept indoors for recess for the annular eclipse in 1994, but I don’t remember it getting all that dark.

Our local library is having a party with special glasses for watching. My wife and I are planning to join. Not the same, but something. My daughter’s school bought 100 pairs and is going to let the old r kids watch.

February, 1979. I was home alone (I was either sick or they cancelled school that day). I built a shoebox viewer and watched it from the driveway.

There was a partial when I was in MD in the early 2000's. 30-40% iirc

May have been too far north for us. I don’t remember.
