Is anybody else getting really excited about it, besides me?
It would float my boat, but not happening here.
Enjoy, Jacqui !
I think you're confusing the anticipation of seeing Jeff with the anticipation of an eclipse.
There's a website where you can find out exactly when it will occur in your area:

I did mine and here's when it's happening here:

Ok, now I'm excited, Jacqui. See what you did?
I bought a solar filter for my camera just for the event. Local libraries all over the US have free glasses available for safely viewing the eclipse.
You only get a partial, which is still neat, but here will be a total eclipse.
I am. Like you, Salem, OR. is center of totality. I can't wait. I've got multiple pairs of glasses here (ISO 12312-2) did I mention I can't wait? Our population is 250,000. We are expecting an extra 250,000 "visitors". Motel rooms that normally are $39.99 a night are now, IF you can find one, renting out for $799.99 per night now.Is anybody else getting really excited about it, besides me?
