It’s a sea of silver at the Texas Legato Winery in Lampasas. Spirits are high; just look at that wispy sky, on a day that was not too long ago expected to be burdened by heavy clouds and rain.

Attending Airstreamers at the “Four Corners Unit” rally didn’t want to jinx it but some couldn’t help pointing up at that earlier blue patch, and wishing there were a way to wedge it open.

I heard they prayed for clear skies at church service this morning.

Music, barbecue, ice cream, and lots and lots of wine make up the days until totality—tomorrow, inshallah—at 1:37pm.
