98.5% range in my neck-of the woods.

My wife and her coworkers getting pumped & prepped:

Love those Open Face Spinning Reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco)

We're outside of St. Louis, and the weather was perfect! Here are a few of the many pics I got

No pics, but a great show in Nashville. I was a physics-astronomy minor back when and have loved astrophysics ever since but know so little it is embarrassing! We were told 1.3 million people came here. Truth be known, everything went amazingly well.
Cheers for celestial happenings!

Great pics, Sid! Well worth the trip, eh? I'm near Buffalo, NY- about all that happened around here was that the temps dropped 6 degrees and it got a little "dim", like a cloud was passing over the sun. Didn't trust the goggles to look at it because of the ones they recalled as being defective! Seven years and Buffalo is in the "total" zone for the next one! Thanks for the post. Best--- JoeW
