    everyone around here all fired up over it.....got glasses for the whole school so think we are pretty much gonna be sitting outside half the day and watching the NASA etc coverage on the projector boards the first half of it. Think we supposed to have around 82% of totality here. of course its rained every day for the past 3 month and looks like its gonna rain everyday for the next 3 months so I am betting we will just be watching it on the projectors with the NASA feed.........until every teacher in the school using the internet at the same time crashes our crappy serves 5 minutes before it actually starts and we miss the whole thing.

    I'll be at work for a 12. I'll have to catch it on late night news when I get home.
