But not enough to fight hours of traffic. My house is in 99.8% totality. Close enough.

A talking head scientist on FOX News this morning mentioned that someplace on Earth sees an eclipse about every 18 months. We making it all about Us only indicates how self centered we are.
Hilarious. Apologies for the political angle but it's on topic here....

Quick reminder for all viewing the eclipse -- turn your EDC red dot down one or two clicks.
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
There is a BIG difference between a partial and total eclipse.
Solar eclipses, even total ones, are not rare if you consider the entire earth surface...
Now, unless you can travel a lot whenever you want the entire world doesn't mean much and getting a total solar eclipse crossing your country relatively close to where you live is indeed a rare occurrence.

I live in Asunción, Paraguay, and the last total solar eclipse was almost 30 years ago. In fact I had to travel almost 100 km to get into the total darkness path. I HIGHLY recommend this experience, specially out of an urban area, it is a thing you'll remember.
Next one crossing my country is going to be in 2075, so in this case it is indeed a once in a lifetime event.
Just started here several minutes ago, had to walk around the back side of the house to get a good view. So much traveling.
Taking a break from social media.
That was very cool... about 4 minutes of total here...
Got lucky with clear sky the entire 4 minutes.
Our local owls starting hooting about half way through... added to the Stephen King ambiance.
Wife got some good photos... will post later..

Having just watched it , I fully agree. I likely wouldn’t have travelled to see it, and wasn’t really that interested, but since I was in Dallas for TacCon anyway, I decided to stick around for a few extra hours.
The experience was much more interesting than I expected. Eating Texas BBQ while watching it get dark was just bonus.
It was so overcast here I couldn't even tell where the sun was. Neat, but with the cloud cover, it was more creepy than anything.
