I carry mine, always. But they're in my backpack with my laptop, so it's not like they're taking up a bunch of space.
Yay for good party, Jesse! I was thinking about you!
I had a great time with the kids watching the eclipse, although apparently we stepped on some traditional Navajo toes, oops. Anyway, photos of the eclipse start here: [link]
I didn't get a shot of the full ring, because I was busy herding kids through to make sure they all got a look through the telescope. It was like that for such a short time and it's so fidgety to get the shots.
We did three different methods of viewing: the telescope with solar filter, the pinhole viewers, and simple pinholes. It was super fun.
I have a battery that works with any USB device if you have the cable. I carry the cable and the battery in my purse all the time.
Can someone go on aa.com and see where flight 1695 is departing from at dfw?

Got woken up at 5am by CJ to drive him to HQ for an out of town search. This is the last week of school for him and he happens to have today off as it is graduation day for the seniors. But he has finals on Tuesday and Wednesday. This is gonna be interesting.
Normally when they get called for out of town searches, I can find a news article about who is missing and such. No luck so far this time.
Hey, SuziQ. Does CJ work with the Denver fire department. I saw a cool report over the weekend about an off-duty Denver fireman spotting an attic fire and saving people.
They work with the Littleton (just south of Denver) fire department for fire related stuff. For search and rescue, their main coverage area is Arapahoe and Elbert counties but they get called to assist on mountain searches.
Good on that off-duty fireman. I hadn't heard about that one.
