Total solar eclipse will take place at the Moon's ascending node, that is
where the Moon crosses the ecliptic from south to north, on Monday the 8th. In
two days across the North America continent

For the pathway that will allow you to experience the event more fully across
North America, check online. Nasa among others, offers a fun accounting.

Interesting choice of words, in that the experience is the blocking that which
gives us "sight" sunlight

But yeah, quite the experience

A friend of us, US citizen living in France, who designs Sets with us is in US
as of right now.

He rented a camping car and is in the desert, just to see the eclipse!

Curiously, desert and camping car now makes me think to something else

Very cool!

But if you're in contact with them, tell them to move out of our deserts
a bit more easterly To get the full effect.

Oh, some invented verb meaning sent using Discord - sorry.

BTW Discord's free and very fine to manage projects within few users for
example. Also used as a channel of communication arund a subject, any.

Received reply: he'll be in Uvalde, TX.

I received him & his family home here at our place last summer.
But for day to day work, Discord is very convenient.
Sometimes a couple phone calls; they don't live really close to us, I mean,
for our french standards (few hundred kms).

I gave him the link of this thread, he's an active member here of course.
If he can't post, I'll pass the messsage.

That's us! We're in an RV, in a makeshift campground just south of Uvalde,
Texas. Had a beautiful evening last night. Dark clear skies and we managed to
see the comet (with binoculars). It was close to the horizon, and hard to pick
out, so we're hoping it will be clearer during the eclipse today as it will
be high above the horizon.

But. The forecast here is not good. We will probably just see clouds. We're
keeping our fingers crossed. Luckily we have 10 days of driving throught desert
doing some hiking and mountain biking afterward, so we'll have some fun with
or without the eclipse.

Let's hope you get clear skies in spite of the forecasts

What we learned during our adventurous years in the national park areas of Southern
Utah: set the target or goal out as motivation, but make (time and effort) the
journey itself, the real experience. So many of our backcountry treks
had amazing destinations set-out. But our memories (kids and I) when relived,
seem to always be of the journeys, the unplanned experiences.

For the pathway that will allow you to experience the event more fully across
North America, check online. Nasa among others, offers a fun accounting.

Took me 40 years to see my first one. When I was younger I didn't think
about traveling for them and living in the midwest we'd always be clouded
in. So I drove down to Nashville'ish to sit directly on the centerline and
it was like getting punched in the soul.

We're lucky enough to have it skirt by just outside of Cincinnati this year
but I'll still drive a little further in to Indiana depending on the weather.
Still trying to figure out a kitschy sale promo as I'll leave the store
open but not be processing orders that day.

I am in the path of totality! Yeah! They are warning us that traffic will be
bad and they are getting the hospitals ready for the fools who don't wear
the "glasses" and any traffic accidents due to the crowds. All the schools
will be closed and restaurants will close for 15 minutes to give all workers
a chance to go outside and see it.

What is sad is that in the town of Lakeview, where an EF3 tornado recently hit,
the hotels are making all the tornado victims leave the hotels so they can rent
the rooms for exorbitant prices to the tourists coming in for totality viewing.

The hotel owners may want to reconsider if they've been accepting in any
form, FEMA funds A lot of strings are attached to Fed money.

Almost but not quite I’m like a 30 min drive (probably not exactly
but give or take an hour or 2) away from it

Yeah, such a turnaround in total eclipses is historically unusual. The one prior
to your 2017 experience, was 38 years earlier in 1979. Making this one that much
more special, imho.

As to your acquired "x-ray vision": turn it inward to find out what's
gone wrong What I might do with that ability

  Total solar eclipse will take place at the Moon's ascending node, that is
where the Moon crosses the ecliptic from south to north, on Monday the 8th. In
two days across the North America continent

For the pathway that will allow you to experience the event more fully across
North America, check online. Nasa among others, offers a fun accounting.

even if it will be only 30%

It reminds me of the one we almost saw in 1999.

(Well, at least Mir didn’t fall on Paris that day….)
