My phone couldn't capture a good photo to save its life, but it was nice
to see. The orange on the horizon never let it get too dark. Skies were partly
cloudy by Cleveland. I got about 2 and a half minutes of darkness, minus street
lights that automatically turned on. Cheers,

- Chris

We had clear skies and a great view here in Chicago. Amazing how much light there
still was when all but a sliver of the sun was covered.

  Total solar eclipse will take place at the Moon's ascending node, that is
where the Moon crosses the ecliptic from south to north, on Monday the 8th. In
two days across the North America continent

A friend of us, US citizen living in France, who designs Sets with us is in US
as of right now.

He rented a camping car and is in the desert, just to see the eclipse!

Curiously, desert and camping car now makes me think to something else

That's us! We're in an RV, in a makeshift campground just south of Uvalde,
Texas. Had a beautiful evening last night. Dark clear skies and we managed to
see the comet (with binoculars). It was close to the horizon, and hard to pick
out, so we're hoping it will be clearer during the eclipse today as it will
be high above the horizon.

But. The forecast here is not good. We will probably just see clouds. We're
keeping our fingers crossed. Luckily we have 10 days of driving throught desert
doing some hiking and mountain biking afterward, so we'll have some fun with
or without the eclipse.

Poor Chad having cloudy weather
