Dammit, that sucks. Sorry to hear.

Amazing indeed, but you didn't miss much.

Dras, we're you able to see it at a full eclipse?

Sorry RC.

Yes, we are/were in the path of totality, just over 2 minutes.

Pretty wild.

I dragged the family 530 miles out to mid Oregon, I think it was worth it.  We're talking about going to Texas in 2024 for the next one.

Littleman, we'll have to meet up in Texas in 2024.  (We can hang out with Christine Churchill of Keyrelevance...they live in Wylie, just outside of Dallas.)

Actually, why don't we plan a meetup in Dallas in 2024?

My friend and I drove up to Grand Island, NE, and I can honestly say it was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.
