Not particularly 'total' around here.
"Once you accept that a child on the autistic spectrum experiences the world in
a completely different way than you, you will be open to understand how that
 perspective
    is even more amazing than yours."

It clouded up and rained here.  :P

Some cloudiness early on, but it cleared up here.

Sun was noticeably dim and lacking heat.

Some cool pics here. The one with the Home Depot lit up in the background is pretty cool.

Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her.

Entirely too far from the path to even see anything, much less notice any change in sunlight.

I got a great look at it today about 5min before peak. 


Think it was about 60% or so by us (upstate NY).  Welding goggles worked quite well.


2024 it will track across the Adirondacks with 100% totality.
