Totality or Bust

The idea was growing all week, fed by accounts of those who'd experienced a total eclipse in 2017 or earlier. It's a lot different than 80 or 90 percent, they said. If you can drive to totality, do it.

And so we did, shoving off early Sunday, bound for Washington, Indiana, where the moon will completely block the sun — and where we have kind and accommodating relatives.

It's totality or bust. Now let's hope the clouds stay away.
