Set my cell alarm last week just to be sure I don't miss it. I'm usually up and having coffee then anyway, so tomorrow it'll be coffee with a side order of eclipse!

I told the hubby (amateur astronomer) about it. Of course, he knew! But it got me a few "points" for knowing about it. Hopefully, I won't get TOO many mosquito bites as he drags me out to watch it! - Granny

Well... here in my beautiful city, one of the worst enemies of the astronomers strikes again... bad weather... today was a sunny, hot, cloudless day... but in the night some clouds came, and now its raining...
Better luck for you all... and if someone take pictures, please post here, cause it will be the only way for me see how it was...

It's starting right now here in Indiana. You can just start seeing the moon being covered. I'm going to go back out there in a few minutes.
