It's like horse-shoes.

OTOH my camera is hanging on a hook right where I left it.

It turns out I've seen three. I forgot the second one. We drove to Nevada and pulled off to a rest stop and looked through some glasses. Then we went to the car museum in Reno and I forgot all about the eclipse.

We didn't see ground waves this time, but I did see a constellation of little mini pin-hole eclipses on the ground under a tree. It's really hard to capture the experience in pictures; maybe the corona.

My son did an orbit of beautiful downtown P-dale with his Mavic drone during totality, maybe I can get a still-frame from that. That place is a trip. We took a walk an half-block down the other side of the intersection, and the locals stopped three time to inquire who we were and what we were up to. The only crime there is people blowing through the 25mph zone at 70.

Traffic was brutal, I gave up on checking my mileage.
