At Myrtle Beach, SC (99.6% coverage) a bit cloudy but the coolest part was the change in temperature about 10 dergees.

I saw it poke out for about 10 seconds a few times. I was only outside for about 10 minutes though. I could actually see it pretty well when there was minimal cloud coverage, but for the 10 seconds or so there was no cloud coverage, it was still blinding without any of the glasses.

I don't know if it was the placebo effect, but it did seem to get dimmer outside when it was happening, but otherwise we weren't able to see much due to the clouds.
Pretty thick cloud cover that ended up dropping a lot of rain... it was probably in your head.

A group of friends and I drove from Oklahoma City to central western Nebraska for the eclipse. We were able to find a place without almost any clouds (we're all meteorologists so we were forecasting the whole drive to pick the best spot). It was an amazing experience and definitely worth the drive.
This tweet is from one of the guys in our group that took pictures.

I think I was too far north to really get anything of notice out of it. House kinda looked like it was twilight out for a bit, but outside you could barely tell anything was going on.

WebEx meetings/conference calls are the worstttttt.
"I ju-"
"I thi-"
"Can yo-"
"Sorry Je-"
"No, go ahe-"
"oh ok I ju-"

Just got off a 3 hour one myself. Being 7,000 miles from the states and 9 hours ahead and having to deal with exactly what you described makes it just a combination of **** and more ****
Oh how i love WebEx lol. Always have those issues when calling someone who is not in the same damn state

I just mute myself until it becomes absolutely necessary for me to speak. Essentially when anyone addresses me by name, lol.
I'll save the proactive interjections for face to face meetings.

We moved from fun with WebEx to Google Hangouts where if two people are unmuted at the same time the feedback makes life unbearable, causing grown ups to act like they are in a convoy, over. Cars can park themselves on the goddamn moon now but phones somehow just get worse and worse. Bell, Edison, I will steal the truck stop burritos right off your graves and not put them back until after I have eaten them.
Oh I'm the same way. Most of mine are with Legal folks so they like to hear themselves talk anyway.
And now, the 2-year wait for the final season. Hope they don't lose so many subscriptions in the meantime that they have to borrow dragons from old public domain cartoons.

What?! It better not be two years.
I heard it's going to be a long time...something about the preliminary thought was Fall 2018 and the early estimates are almost always too optimistic. I guess I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't premiere until early 2019

I noticed that during the warm-ups last night when they advertised their entire catalog, they showed all the stuff starting soon with the exact months, then the next season of a bunch of shows listed as "2018", but no time frame whatsoever listed when they showed Game of Thrones. The only one they wouldn't even give a year for.
I don't think the books are even confident in giving a release decade, so there's that, I guess.
You can send some 90+ days this way. I'm going to be unhappy this fall that we never had any properly uncomfortable summer heat to mark the season.

Grrr. [Optimism] Hopefully GRRM finishes book 6 before the final season comes out! [/Optimism]
Yeah jeez, pretty awful down there from the pictures I've seen. Hope our friends down there are able to stay safe.

I moved away from Houston a week ago, just in time for the hurricane (not because of it though).
It's a **** show down there from what I hear. I also hear that my house there isn't flooded though.

That's pretty crazy timing. Good thing you were moving last week and not this week.
