Grats on your new squatters, I guess.

I actually feel sorry for all of the dads that planned a family event to travel and watch a 100% overcast sky get dark and then light again. We were lucky in SC 7 years ago to have totality and a clear sky….looks like today you need to be in Maine to have a shot at seeing anything.

I’m pretty sure Mike Bettes just had a dry orgasm on air. Not. Kidding.

Boone County, Columbia, Mo. checking in.
We’ll have 94% totality, but it’s pretty impressive and clear as a bell from the front drive. Kids are out of private school for a teacher retreat, supposedly, lol.

I’ll try in 35 minutes to get the money shot, but has gotten significantly duskier outside.

Just saw totality... One of the most amazing things I've ever seen in my life.

ETA, we were in totality, sitting in the small town pavilion in New Boston, TX. Probably had 100 folks there, max.

First for me except for maybe a partial circa 1984 or so. But, first totality. Trip was the idea of my youngest son. He's always hauling out his telescope and finding stuff. He put in a request for this trip like 3 or 4 years ago. His first word when putting on his glasses and seeing the in-progress eclipse was a simple, "Wow."

The sacrifice we all made to get there from BTR was worth it.
