Yes. Gave out eclipse safety glasses as Christmas presents.

Will be able to view from the comfort of our own home.

They are definitely worth the time to go and watch!

I was three years ago when I lived in MA. We planned a trip to NY to see the total eclipse.

We've since moved to Tennessee and will be well within the 80% totality swath. And that's good enough for me.

THink I’ll make a day trip to get into the totality zone. Total eclipse is too awesome to sit around and not experience.

It will only be partial here, but it’s been on my calendar for months.

We should be in the path, too, so I need to make sure I have several sets on hand here. There’s supposed to be a viewing party at our local orchard, and we will probably join over there, but may just view from our own property.

I watched the last one that was over middle TN.

Funky. Got really dark. All the street lights came on.

I will determine which areas have the lowest probabilities of clouds and then drive in that direction from Alabama. I saw the one in 2017, would not want to miss.

Had the bad experience of under the path of a full eclipse several decades ago but with complete cloud cover. It just gets dark for several minutes.

Taking family to Vincennes Indiana, on the Wabash, right smack in the middle of the totality path and also the site of the Western most battle of the American Revolutionary War.

Michigan in April. Probably will be overcast anyway.

In any case, we’re in the penumbra.

I plan to... from MA, many directions to go to minimize cloud cover, perhaps Buffalo NY.

We found a camp ground in central Mo and watched the last one. It was awesome. If you can get to this one I highly recommend it. Don’t settle for partial. Total is a whole different thing. We were on the Missouri River. The birds all headed for the trees and the night time insects started up. So cool.
