I've found a comfy spot in the library where I work with sightlines to the sun. I may have to move a bit as the sun moves, but that's life in a peripatetic universe.

Our wings are not tired.
It is a lovely clear day here and we expect ~70%. My entire yard on all sides of the house has overlapping leaves so I am going with the nature made viewing areas.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
So the eclipse is outside, and I would like to see it. On the other hand, it's 95 degrees outside.

I'm staying in for the eclipse, because I don't trust myself not to look at the sun.

It's damn hot here, too. I'm just going out for a few minutes, going back in for a little bit, back out, etc. But I'm going over to Tim's work around 2:00 (he works 1 mile from our house) to watch it hit totality (well 92% totality) with him and his co-workers.

I think we're at maximum here, it looks like early evening, just after the sun's down past the horizon.

If you're not, you should go outside for a bit. Birds get all confused and nightsong/morningsongy.
