So why do I need solar glasses?
Can I not simply look in my I-phone as if I was taking a selfie video?

I've heard you should be careful doing that. It could actually damage your phone's camera.

It's gone up quite a bit in the last few days here in Utah, that's for sure.
And more stupidity...my wife just told me that someone on the "Ask Park City" Facebook page just asked if the Post Office will be open tomorrow.

Where I live in NoCo, we are getting something like 95% eclipse.
That's good enough for me, I am not going to travel for it.

I saw signs beside the highway today, warning not to stop on the shoulders due to the eclipse.

Drove from SEATAC down to Albany, Oregon today. Traffic was really not bad. It was quite a bit less than I expected. Tomorrow is probably going to be pandemonium trying to get home, though. We'll see. Hopefully we don't get home too late.

Headed into work, hope to be out by lunch. Traffic wasn't bad yesterday here, we'll see what today brings. Decent chance of rain for the first part of the day.

If you waited til now, good luck getting thru Knoxville! The left side I40/75 heading westbound toward Sweetwater/Chattanooga.
I'm not really into it - I'm gonna step out of work and take a look, but don't get the absolute hysteria over this. It's a shadow, people!

Wouldn't you know it! The day started sunny and within the last half hour the sky has totally clouded over and it looks like rain. Hopeing this will clear to let us see, at least, something.

You all know that after weeks of warnings on every form of media known to man, some idiot will make the news tomorrow because they looked at the eclipse with a telescope of binoculars (without shielded lenses) to get a better view.
