Clear skies expected here in NH - 96% totality where I'm located!

Excellent.  As unlucky for today's forecast, our location in '17 was clear skies and 99.13% occulsion.  So I guess it evens out.
I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

@Polly Ticks

That sounds great! I'm a little jealous. I hope y'all have excellent weather for viewing the eclipse.

@AllThatJazzZ

Thank you!  I hope so too, but I'll get to see two of my aunts either way so that will be nice.   happy77  I don't see them nearly as much since my mom passed away.

Dallas severe weather threat upgraded as Texas to Arkansas faces stormy forecast for Monday's solar eclipse
the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex has been upgraded to a Level 3 out of 5 risk of severe weather because of the threat of very large hail upwards of 2 inches or greater in diameter. This Level 3 risk covers much of north-central and northwestern Texas.

I tried on my eclipse glasses and suddenly got the urge to sing "Ma Cherie Amour." Don't know why.

The Total eclipse of the sun will last 4 min and 8 sec.
Also, The radio version of "Total eclipse of the heart" lasts  only a few seconds longer.

Someone once described her vocal style, the distinctive rasp, as Stevie Nicks gargling with razor blades!

Total Eclipse of the Heart video

The literal version is funnier:

obEclipseComment: eclipse just started here in central Texas, totality in about an hour and 15 minutes. Cloud cover has broken up a little, so we may see more than just the clouds darkening.

After 40 years of being lied to by people who called themselves "Conservatives", I no longer consider myself to be a "Conservative".

You're good to go @Gefnhappy77
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.
