    Had a good view for awhile but we are now under cloud cover. We wont have totality but we will have 94% if the clouds go away.

    We have clear skies. I'm not watching it but definitely experiencing it. Everything is going darker, but it's not like in the evening when the sun is setting. Very different, strange and beautiful quality of light in the yard. Weird to be putting on lights inside the house in the middle of the day.

    What's the big deal? If you have seen one eclipse in your lifetime it's enough.

    We had about 90% coverage. All clear and sunny, but now past its prime. I expected dusk, but didn't get that. Stayed sunny the whole time, just not quite so intense. I had a pair of solar glasses and was able to view it. BTW, rhere was some rustling in the bushes, so I kept away from them....hate to be attacked by a "herd of sasquatches"! Or should that be sasquatchii?

    I don't blame you: the 'Squatches are STILL pretty ticked-off with those "Jack-Links" guys!

    Total eclipse busted here. Total cloud cover. But it did get dim, like dusk for a few minutes.

    We are well off the path and have total cloud cover as well. We watched the two hour presentation from CBS News. Good enough for us.

    I agree, it must be a South of the border thing. North of the border we have a species called Jack-a-lopes. They are the off-spring of our oversized Jack-Rabbits mating with the Antelope. Their off-spring are Jack-a-lopes and can be quite delicious when stewed.

    RE: Jackalope: I have a nice one mounted on the wall above the entrance to my office. Picked it from the wall of Jackalopes at Wall Drug, in Wall, SD.

    Pardon all the references to Wall.
