The way I'm sleeping lately should have me up for most of the show. The skies are clear where I'm at now, and will probably stay that way all night.

I know, right? I was starting to think the whole eclipse thing was just a hoax, and the earth is flat, and maybe I should take Disco Stu's advice and start taking veterinary dewormer and maybe drinking some bleach. I'm really glad it was just an everyday stoner blunder.

I was just driving to
I was just driving to Berkeley, listening to KQED and they interviewed an astronomer from Foothills College (Los Altos) about tonight's eclipse... this guy was a great interview, and did an excellent job of explaining the science behind the eclipse.
His website: https://www.fraknoi.com/
He was cracking me up, coining the term "cosmic garbage" (band name?)
... and also "Gravity -- like your uncle-- is a cheapskate."
He will likely post this morn's interview to the audio sub-cat on his site... and he said his blog features tables for tonight's action.

here in NorCal (SW Humboldt County... Lost Coast area), the clouds disappeared and I just caught the peak of the eclipse!

here's a NASA video that was helpful to me in understanding what I was seeing (subtract 8 hours for Pacific Standard Time):

I just went out and had a hard time finding the moon at first, but then there it was overhead: a Blood Moon with a thin sliver mostly illuminated. My insomnia paid off for a change.

Went to bed early - around 10. Woke briefly at midnight to continued rain, but it did seem a bit darker than earlier.
That's it.

Andy, I tried taking a few, but my phone's camera, which takes great pix in daylight, doesn't do a good job with celestial objects at night.

Sky cleared here just long
Sky cleared here just long enough to catch the first 3rd of it. Then the rain came back and nothing. Glad I got a little, but you never get enough.....
