I think I will be in the 95% range. I wonder if my work will give us a moment to appreciate this event. Or maybe I just take a long lunch break.

well ... turns out my bino order was fulfilled! Got 'em today ... sun looks awesome through them; it looks like a solid-surfaced moon with spooky clouds flowing in front of them ...

Fuck the eclipse. It's just invented by greeting card companies the same as Valentine's Day.

We has a new new plan.
Got 3 days off, gonna spend 2 nights camping in Cherokee National Forest, which is north of Asheville, NC. From there we can just drive to the zone, like in a field or whatever if places are too crowded.
