Albany, Oregon will be in the path. Something new for all of us and the school summer programs are promoting in a good way for the kids. My Granddaughter is very excited at age four.

....and races eastward at 3,900 kilometers per second.

For the people in the U.S. - gone in a second.

“3,900 kilometers per second”

Pretty sure that’s per hour.

Back in 2015, my husband arranged a business trip to coincide with the total eclipse in Germany. Umbraphile indeed. We will be traveling to try to see this one. It is dicey though, when you consider the likelihood of bad weather obscuring the eclipse. Hopefully we can make it to an area of totality, and at the absolute right time.

I had absolutely no problem getting a hotel room last week, for the path of totality in Tennessee. I didn’t stay in Nashville, though. I don’t like big cities.
