I am in the 99% range of totallity. Also live near the Cahokia Mounds pre Colombian site. That would be a great place to watch it from but I am SURE that a thousand other people have the same idea. No way I am going to drive 2 hours south for totallity. If I got on the road now, I would probably be in my car on the highway for it.

My parents are at a 'party' which is basically a lot of people hanging out in a field in potato country.
Mostly my (former meteorologist) dad is taking pictures of the camera balloon.

As noted elsewhere, here in DC it wasn't much of a muchness, but I have my glasses for next time! Of course by the time that comes around I will have forgotten where I put them.

There were free glasses at all Libraries, the LIRR and Metro North gave away glasses. I ordered glasses for those who said they'd be in the office a couple of weeks ago. Watched it from the office. Served black and white cookies and prosecco.
then left the office because my stomach is going haywire.

I drove to upstate New York but it was totally overcast.Perfect weather the day before and after.
At least they had not turned off Niagara Falls. And I loved Toronto.

Disappointing, but I'm glad Niagara Falls and Toronto were good!
