The effort: getting a Visa, booking flights and hotels, taking a few days off work.

I’m from Europe, but in Montreal for work by chance. Very excited that it lines up with this event.

Well some effort is required. You can’t just look up at the eclipsed sun with your bare eyes.

It will be shorter unless you are in the center of the eclipse path.

Except of course, when it’s cloudy. The only eclipse that ever happened where I lived in my lifetime was a total disappointment because you couldn’t see anything.

I drove eight hours or so to watch the one in 2017. No regrets.

Me too, the clouds overhead parted just before totality and the corona was so dazzling and magnificent. I really hope there aren’t clouds in the way during this one.
