    It's overcast in Chicago, and the solar eclipse will coincide roughly with the sun going down. Exciting stuff.

    Thankfully the maximum section of this eclipse here in La La Land (around 3:30pm) will coincide with my walk... and the skies are clear!

    No, but feel free to start one, or we could rename this one.

    LOL, "partial."

    98.3% coverage in my area. :D

    Rew and heels1785 get 100%. I like them anyway.

    About 73% for me, but I'm possibly going to be on a vacation that will include being in the path of totality on the 21st.

    Got my eclipse glasses ready and everything. :-B

    yeah, it's going to be nuts here. local government offices shutting down for the day, every media outlet and their mother will be in either columbia or here in charleston. i think we go full dark around 1 or 1:30p.

    i'm pretty excited.

    Almost like with the current Dodger TV deal, there'll be 0% coverage of this here in La La Land. :p

    Full dark for us is 2:41 pm but it's supposed to start around 1 pm. I wish offices would close that day; I'm supposed to work but I'm hoping to be able to take the afternoon off.

    Only in the USA and not here in Germany. But we had our total solar eclipse already on 11th August 1999. I was 9 years old back then, but I remember how spectacular it was.

    I just found out there's a partial lunar eclipse tonight (though it may be over by now).

    If you live in the purple area on this map, you'll be able to see it.

    One of the rare times it's actually awesome to live in Columbia. :p

    It happens around 2:40-ish for us. Unfortunately I'm supposed to work that day. I heard a rumor that they might close down state agencies (like the university where I work) due to the unprecedented influx of traffic Columbia will receive that day, but I haven't heard anything concrete. And I have very little vacation time remaining, so...

    But at least I'm on the list to receive a couple pairs of eclipse glasses!
