I certainly am. Unfortunately it will be online and maybe on TV, because the "real thing" is nowhere hear where I'll be. You, on the other hand, may see it pretty well on your own.

Sun was sharp and bright overhead earlier, but now cloud covered.

We are supposed to be able to see about 75% of the total eclipse from here (even the clouds shift).

I had local friends here fly up to Shanghai to catch it, but they were disappointed with lots of cloud cover this morning.
