Messed up my afternoon swim.  >:(
Night swimming is better anyway.

Either way for anyone who missed the whole thing(myself included) there will be another one in 2024. And that one will be a lot closer to where I live. It will pass thru upstate New York.

thats silly. Although I disagree with him it doesn't mean he should lose his right to voice his opinion. That's the liberal mindset - ironically  the same people who believe in global warming.

If you don't care why would you comment?

Where did you see it from?
High Falls County Park, Seneca, SC.
Along the path of greatest totality, with a perfect sky.
We drove from ATL. What should have been a 2 hour drive each way turned into 3.5 hours there and 4 hours back. It's a good thing we left when we did. We made it there by 20 minutes.

Quite a few stars were visible, and Venus was prominent. But it wasnt particularly dark so no more than that with the naked eye (and I knew where to look for the other planets and such).
