For who knows what is good for a person in life, during the few and meaningless days they pass through like a shadow? Who can tell them what will happen under the sun after they are gone?

Setup shop last night at family an hour south of the path in northern NH, about to head north to what is improbably the clearest skies in the States.

I was in totality for around 3:30 with perfect clear skies in Newport VT. 2 for 2 between 2017 and today. Feeling extremely fortunate and still riding the glow.

I was looking at this one as well as the 2044 Alberta eclipse and both of them look to be very late in the day, close to sunset. Does anyone know how that affects visibility?
https://eclipsophile.com/tse2026/ does seem to think it will be an issue btwn angle and clouds

Gratz to all the new umbraphiles in this thread who will now learn the struggle of trying to convince other people that totality is amazing and worth traveling to see.
I would regularly pester my friends about it as far back as grad school in like 2010. That regular pestering resulted in getting a couple of them to road trip to Oregon with me in 2017. Then THEY came back and started helping me pressure the friends who missed out, and this week I got another 9 people to see it who hadn’t before. On top of that, one of the guys that joined me in 2017 managed to get like 20 people in his extended family to see it in Ohio.
It is possible to proselytize about totality but it takes some time and only really works on close friends/family or turbonerds, in my experience.
it's sort of wild how hard it was to convince my dad, a lifelong space and tech lover, to drive 1-2 hrs north for it. now he's persuaded. but it really is hard to explain.
