they say that the clouds should clear up some for the eclipse... I really hope that that's the case. It'll be neat either way but...this is what it looks like outside right now:

Update [4:04PM]: The clouds didn't fuck off so instead of seeing the sun, we got this:

Which imo is just as cool? like it got middle of the night dark and there were these cool streaks of pinks and oranges reflecting off the clouds and it was just really fucking awesome. And apparently only 1 in 10k people experience something like this in their lifetime, the fact that I got to have this moment at all is pretty fucking amazing.
We were in Rochester so we were in the path of totality! we came up here specifically for this event, but luckily we had things with family we were also doing, so it wasn't a waste.
