I'm planning on seeing the upcoming eclipse in Vermont, and I'm a little concerned about clouds. I went to SC to see the eclipse in 2017, and around 5 minutes before totality, a couple small clouds seemingly came out of nowhere and got in the way, disappointing a huge crowd of people. Everything going dark and hearing the night critters wake up was still a really cool experience though. Hoping to have better luck this time, but not counting on it.

I'll be staying at an Airbnb in Vermont on a mountain with trees. Wherever the sun is in the sky on the day of the eclipse, it should be around that same spot on the day prior, right? I need to find out if we'll be able to see totality from the porch as anticipated, or if we're going to have to make last minute plans to go around/scale the mountain.

Here's the Sun in Vermont at 4:20pm, yesterday. Should be around the same spot at 3:20pm today, right?

I wore an eye patch so I'd be able to see in the dark better, but I forgot to take it off, so I only saw Totality through one eye lol.

I also had a ring in my pocket and was going to take a goatse picture, but just completely forgot everything in the moment. It was really cool.

Is there a good way to donate used eclipse glasses?

If I recall correctly, there are a couple of programs that accept donations and provide glasses to people in the path of upcoming eclipses. I bought a bunch this time around and really don't need to keep all of them.
