I"m hoping we don't have cloudy skies. It seems like it's always cloudy when something astronomical happens. I live a little over an hour from totality, so I plan on going somewhere to watch.

No announcement yet.
Is anybody excited for the eclipse on Monday?

yeah, my neighbor got us some of the glasses to wear so we can see it. just be careful you don't burn your retina out -
I've got the glasses. I really want to see it. Last time we had a total eclipse here, I was in the sixth grade I think. They wouldn't let us out of school on recess so nobody got to see it. They kept the curtains closed all day.Comment

I did a quick google and found this info on NASA's site:
The last total solar eclipse viewed from contiguous United States was on Feb. 26, 1979 whose path passed through the northwestern U.S. states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, and Canadian provinces of Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec.Comment

Anyone buying glasses, just be careful, I've heard there are some cheap knockoffs floating around out there that might not offer full eye protection.Comment

They closed the drapes but let us watch it on tv back in '79. I was in the 3rd grade.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

People are going bat-**** crazy here in WA. I flew into Spokane today and every rental car agency was pretty much out - people are heading to Idaho and Oregon. They are issuing traffic warnings already today for Seattle to OR travel - including small towns on the way are already out of gas. Every single store is sold out of glasses. People are scalping them.
Honestly, I don't get it. But some are apparently using this as their family road trip.
