In reply to the discussion: O) -- ECLIPSE THREAD - Where are you watching the eclipse? % of totality? [View all]logosoco

at my own house (thank you , solar system!)
We have family down from Madison, WI. It takes a lot to ask them to come down in August and to tell them we are going to be standing out in the sun for about 3 hours (well, with two minutes of shade like we have never seen in the middle of the day!). Luckily we have shade trees next to our spot, and will have a sprinkler going.
We have glasses, box viewers and a chart for my grandson's to note the temperatures.
I am SOOOOOOOO excited! This feels like such a treat since all of the crap since November. For many weeks now I have been thinking "This is something the tRumpsters can't screw up!"
I wish clear skies for all in the path of totality!!!!!
