I hope you guys are young

2078 and 2099 would be my only chance for a 100% eclipse (but I'll be dead). I'll be at a 92% with this one at home.
I could see the one in 2024 if I drive up to see my family in upstate NY...

Got family in northern ohio.

If next week is a bust due to weather (Currently 40% chance of rain in Columbia), that's my plan.

now i can understand why the mayans freaked out over this. probably gave them a reason to sacrifice a few spares they had laying around.

I can only hope the hysteria has died down a bit by then.

Don't you know this is a life changing, once in a lifetime, celestial experience?

I'm fucking sick of the hype.

Fuckers are renting out spaces in their yards around here. It's gonna be worse than the aftermath of the a good snowstorm around here.

So if I can hold out until September 14, 2099, I'm good.

2045 is almost right over me.

Hopefully I'll still be around. (I would be 75)

Anyone want to get in an early order for tickets?

2024 is just about directly over my house here in Ohio

I was assured this 2017 one was a once-in-a-lifetime event. What happened?

That's what I thought too.

But I do remember seeing one when I was in elementary school. We all got to go outside and look at it
ETA: May 10, 1994.

It's not like they happen every day, most people will see just a few at most.

The last time I saw one was '94 I think, I'm excited to see another one.

If I stay here on the Redneck Riviera, I'll have to hold on until I'm 75 and then 82

Could be wrong, but I think that one is the next one that will feature a total eclipse. I think the rest are partials.

ETA: I've seen it written elsewhere that a partial eclipse is like a partial orgasm--nothing like the real thing.

2024 will be directly over us.
