    I was not impressed. I was hoping for total darkness, and got nothing. My area got a partial eclipse. That sucked. I was excited for nothing. Anyone else feel this way?

    Even worse, I have to wait two weeks for the season finale of the show Power. Actually September 3. Dang.

    Jack, there are no conditions under which an eclipse is total all over the face of the planet. That’s impossible. Most places were going to get partial eclipses. They knew in advance which places would get what percentage. I knew in advance what percentage of the eclipse we would get in Maine. That info was out there.

    What about Power? Why do I have to wait til September 3rd, instead of this Sunday? I’m pissed. On top, I was shocked they killed Ghost”s teen daughter like that.

    Just got back from Columbia, SC. Old friend of mine happened to build a house on a lake and it was in the path of total eclipse.

    Drove down from CT on Saturday. Should have been 12 hrs, took 17. Drove home today, took 15 hrs.

    Anyway, the wife and both kids would do it all over again. Total eclipse was fucking awesome. Best part was there were lots of clouds in the sky, but never over the sun from when it started around 1:13 PM until totality ended after 2:50-ish.

    The other good part was we reconnected with friends and now wonder why we didn’t go visit sooner (although next time, it will just be me and my wife, and we’ll fly).

    It’s very good you got to do that.

    Quite a worthwhile trip.
