Once in a lifetime for me. Eclipse glasses have been sold out everywhere around here for well over a weekβ¦β¦none to be had. Made and just tested out a pin-hole viewer this morning and it works! Bright and sunny here in NEPA, hope the weather continues to cooperate. Show is to begin at 2:08 pm and end at 4:35 pm with maximum occurring at 3:23 pm. Not in the path of totality here, but it still looks to be pretty impressive. Going to see how the dogs react.

Dog say: "how's it bedtime, haven't even had supper" Heβs thinking, βwhat did I do to deserve being sent to bed without my supper?β

I went into town and got a pair of eclipse sunglasses from the tourism office (free!), then I bought a sliced beef BBQ sandwich and went back home. Lots of people around the courthouse square just hanging out. The out-of-towners were evidently fascinated by our Confederate memorial.

Clear blue and 22 here in Iowa. It's already a nice day. I'm going to the range about peak time. I'm sure I will have it all to myself.

Back when I was a kid in the 80's - before the internet, it was just called "clipse".
