I didn't see a thread for this, so feel free to merge if there is one already.

Anyways, who's going to view to totality, or are you settling for partial and watch totality on TV? Or do you just not give a shit? Me, I'm taking a flight out to Oregon to experience totality for the first time in my life. I'm very excited!

I was going to drive up to Salem, but I hear most places are mobbed already and I can't be bothered to do all that peopling. Where I live I should be able to see almost totality anyway, so that's enough cool astronomy stuff to suit me. I have the eclipse glasses so I can stare at it and not go blind.

Since we're less than 100 miles from the totality line (:powerlevel:), my employer decided it would be better to just stop work for an hour or so and provide free glasses to employees rather than deal with all the absences. My shift doesn't actually start until an hour or so after the whole thing's passed, but I figure it's an option of minimal fuss.

I was too lazy to get glasses so I'll probably make a pinhole camera out of a shoe box.

Driving across a few state lines to go see totality. Pretty excited since we picked a spot that is beautiful but also won't have a lot of traffic so we'll get to enjoy in peace then go hiking.

Apparently it's only going to look cloudy where I'm at, but I'll be standing outside my house when it happens to get the novelty effect. I'm too poor and busy to drive 3 hours to get to a full coverage area, stand there for 25 minutes, and then drive back. I'll look at some YouTube videos from those areas later.

I am definitely not as excited/motivated as these people are, but I'm a bit sad I won't really be able see totality. I'll be able to see 97% coverage and that sounds cool, regardless. Guess I'll still be an eclipse virgin
