Yeah, it’s been a year. Damn.

We had clouds and didn’t get a perfect view, but did we ever get a spectacular one, with storms all around us.
(Click for full-sized image – it’s worth it!!)
The two minutes and 38.4 seconds of totality were one of the most amazing experiences of my life.
Even through the clouds.
The next total solar eclipse in the United States is on April 8, 2024. (Really, check out Xavier Jubier’s website and maps, they’re spectacular!!) I’m looking at southern Texas for the best chance of clear skies and the maximum totality in the US (over 4:20), eastern Indiana or western Ohio to be with the most fannish friends (3:57 north of Dayton) – but there’s a good chunk of northern Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine that’s in the path of totality where I’ll tons of family and friends from high school (but only 3:33 of totality north of Burlington).
Decisions, decisions!
