We got lucky and the clouds parted just in time in my corner of Texas.

    Flew from Utah to Dallas. It was so worth it. I was almost shaking at one point. Colors were so weird around us, birds stopped chirping for a bit. People were cheering.

    Our Airbnb and rental cancelled last minute, so we ended up having to scramble at the last minute. And the whole cloud situation…but everything worked out in the end.

    My first partial solar eclipse was when my dad took me to elementary school to get enrolled for kindergarten in '94. The front desk person handed us a sheet of solar filter (?) and went out to look at the sun. One of my earliest core memories.

    I missed the one in 2017 because I was being lazy and it was only 2 hours away. But I didn’t plan and my wife was working.
