23% here as well. I've seen two total in my lifetime. 1979 and 2017. In 1979 I was in college and in class at the time. That eclipse got nighttime dark. The one in 2017 dimmed a lot, stayed daylight but with the remaining light yellowish. The air also cooled off a lot.

Where I am in NY it is supposed to be 98.1% of total eclipse. Should start at 2:11 and end at 4:36, with peak being at 3:25.
Nobody around the area has glasses left, so I'll be making the pinhole camera and/or hodge-podging something to get a quick look.

I'm interested to see what the animals around the house do when it gets dark. Wonder if any nocturnal ones will pop out for a bit.

Not me, but my girlfriend is all jacked up about all the "energy" that'll be moving and shifting across the earth today. Gotta "call in" all the things we want to happen.

Okey dokey.

The eclipse is getting all the news but because of the eclipse a comet is visible and several planets are also lined up.

Buster and I setup my old telescope with the backside of a picture frame. Worked okay!

Well, it didn't matter that I never got any glasses, we had cloud cover all through it.

At 23% I didn’t get any glasses but now I kinda wish I had done so.

Blind?

It’s totally overcast here. Not going to see Jack or even Jacqueline Poop.

I did get a glimpse of the eclipse here in Sugar Land. It was said to be 94%. I did get a picture with my phone but it's a bit hard to see

Didn't seem like much from here.

Well, if the moon is in the Seventh House and Jupiter is aligned with Mars, we must be headed into a new Age of Aquarius. That's my astrological sign, so I guess I'll take it.
