Sorry about that. Though not so sorry about me not having the chance
to see any of it. I don't know when there will be an eclipse I can
see... I remember seeing one which didn't reach more than 60%, when
I was maybe fifteen. It's nothing compared to a total eclipse, of
course -- 40% or even 20% of the sun is a *lot* of light. I could
see the moon's shadow through a dark X-ray film (don't do that).
