We are real close to the edge of the totality, so, I don’t see much need to travel to see a tiny bit more of it.
Personnally, I would like to ignore it, maybe look up with my welding helmet.
There have been all sorts of prophecy’s regarding the end of times. One that was circulating on face book says there were 9 Ninevehs in the path. I tried researching that and I did find 2, in Indiana and Ohio, and they were close to dead center of the dark spot.
I was told that another tale was telling how many “Salems” were in the path.
Well, if it is curtains for us, I hope to connect with you all in the afterlife. Adios!

We are in the first band over from the center. The center band says to have ~4 minutes of full coverage; we are to have ~ 3 minutes. I cleaned up the fairly new welding helment. I guess I tossed its predecessor back when, but it was in a mess anyhow. We'll just step out in the driveway when the time comes.
SnInL and Persnickety are driving upstate a bit to be perfectly centered. They have a reserved spot along with the news teams on a College campus.
I hope it doesn't occur during one of my naptimes.

Up here in west mich we may get a shadow?  My Miller hood goes up to 13 so I may look at the thing quick & see what all the fuss is about. It seems we had one here several years back and got darker for about 10 minutes. |

Last time i saw a full eclipse of the moon was years ago. I was passing a 76 ferd granada on my scooter when a fat bitch in the back seat decided to stick her fat white ass against the winder. No welding helmet would have saved me from that sight but it did look like 2 pigs fighting over a Milkdud.

I may not chance it as I only have one eye I can see with and it has problems if I think I have to see it may do the hole in a box thing

I expect that you can see as much as anybody, and probably more than most folks just by watching the whole thing on the TV news. And be perfectly safe doing it.
