Once in a lifetime on the current track maybe. But the next one after this one happend in 2033.
I was 20km from the path of the totality. The next one I'll even be able to see a partial eclipse isn't happening until ~2045.

Hey, you can't tell people in the past that! They might figure out the moon gets destroyed later. You want the time authority to vaporize you or something?
I am a Time Authority. Not a Lord, mind you. Those worthies get to tool around those fancy teleboxes doing all kinds of adventurous, dare i say, romatic escapades. We mere Authorities merely monitor and report. Vaporization is above my pay grade
There was a great episode of NOVA on pbs last night talking indepth about eclipses and their frequency. The gist wad that they have known how to predict them to within 4 minutes and they occur about every 7 years
