Total eclipse

[Jim Oaks]

Apparently people have traveled to the U.S. to see it. I'm wondering what kind of weird activity it will bring with it.

We're only going to see a 15% eclipse here.

Severe traffic jams and full hotels along the best viewing areas.

back here in Ohio it will cross your old patrol territory.
I'm taking the grandsons down to Upper Sandusky, about 75 miles and I know ALL the back roads to get there.

With all the BAD things going on in the world... who knows honestly. Hate to be that guy... but I'm steering clear of large gatherings.

We're expected to have 93% coverage in my town. So I'm taking my pregnant daughter and grandson on a picnic at the local park on the river.

I’ll be about 30 miles south of you.
My daughter lives in mt blanchard and theyve blocked off their yard with caution tape, guess they think people are gonna park there. Ive seen marketplace ads where some are charging $20/car to park in their yards to watch. Ive thought about it but don’t really want anyone in my yard. Its very wet & would be a mess. Guess I could charge another $20 to pull them out .
I do think the whole thing is overhyped.. Im eager for it to be over so the local news will shut up about it. Remember “Y2K”, its about that level of being rediculous. I have considered letting the chickens out @2:00 just to see if they go back in & roost. I do have cousins in wisconsin that are driving down for it.

I guess the Texas Bronco Off-Roadeo is like one of the best spots, they are having an event for it.

Also... Paducah near where our LBL event was and will be this year is right in the heart of the totality.

We'll be 93-95% and the Northern part of the state will be 100%. The news is advising people to not stop in the middle of the road if they're driving when it gets dark, I wish it wasn't necessary to tell people that.

It's supposed to run fairly close by to here but with the price gouging and expected traffic headaches, I'm staying away. It's supposed to be cloudy all day anyway. So, other than it getting dark around 3:15, we ain't going to see anything.

Sorry...had too.

 

[JoshT]

A few co-workers are.talking about it and want to go out to watch. I'll be sitting right here in my cubicle. Might be interested if I were in the path of totality, but I'm not. 70-75% doesn't really seem worth the hype to me.

 

[Jim Oaks]

This is 2 eclipses in 2 years for Texas. I saw the one last October also.
