Dimming Hopes: A Veil Of Clouds Might Shroud the Eclipse

 I'm a huge astronomy geek. The only way I could get more excited about the upcoming solar eclipse would be if it caused chocolate to fall from the sky

Way it's raining here I'll be looking while floating down the Ohio while it's still raining

That's one way to do it ... water's a little cold this time of year, though.

definitely is but several towns around me are no evacuated (I'm fine though)

I've been watching your weather. Well, I've been watching everyone's weather--we've been really lucky here in northeast Indiana. So far.

We have only seen partial eclipses here but we did see one where the birds all stopped singing when my kids were younger. We made a reflecting table so we could watch it safely in the garden. It was awesome.

I'm sure there are plenty of partial eclipses to come!

Where I live I get a 99% eclipse. The nearby areas are predicted to be insane crowds for the eclipse and while it would be fantastic to experience I don't want to experience the crowds that go along with the phenomenon.

Clouds are predicted where I am so we'll see how it goes. Could be interesting or could just be an afternoon off from work.

Have a great time and I hope the traffic, crowds and clouds cooperate for you!

Thanks, and boy, I sure hope it goes okay. I'm getting increasingly worried about the traffic and crowds, myself.

You have a good head on your shoulders. Watch out for the idiots and you'll be fine :)

Hopefully the idiots won't take my head off my shoulders!
