099 - Eclipse or No Eclipse?

At the exact moment this is published I’ll be somewhere in Southeast Missouri - somewhere in the vicinity of either Poplar Bluff or Doniphan, attempting to see the solar eclipse. Whether or not I’m successful depends on the weather and the ability to travel in this part of Missouri as the narrow two lane highways in this region aren’t designed to handle the insane amount of traffic that bound to have hit them earlier this morning.

I’m hoping this works. The last eclipse that came thru here in 2017 was a disaster on many fronts, not just the clouds and rain that decided to gather overhead at the moment of totality.

Keeping fingers crossed!
