So, the damn glasses are all sold out around here. The only way to get a pair is to buy a 12 pack of Schlafly Helle Eclipse beer. Each 12 pack has a pair. I walked out of wallyworld 60 bucks lighter with 2 cases of good beer. And, I don't drink.

I probably live closer to you than anyone else on this site, but I don't drink either.The road to glory cannot be followed with much baggage.

part of the AT in georgia is in the path of totality; including mountain crossings and top of georgia hostel. mountain crosssings is going to be SLAMMED with people -- and they'll probably sell each one of em one of the stickers below. they are advertising a viewing party.
forest service roads in georgia are expected to be PACKED with more cars than parking spaces.[IMG:https://scontent.fsnc1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/20841761_1625339084167336_1634072553385392109_n.jpg?oh=e2297791d4a8bfdec329bfb30e031de1&oe=5A2E44B1]2,000 miler -

But I'm pretty sure the weeding band will have the diamond appear on the left side. -

Be wise enough to walk away from the nonsense around you!

I saw the almost full eclipse in the 70s in MD. Here we will have an 85% and there may be some clouds, so I'm not expecting much. I do have the glasses, however.

If I remember, I will walk outside and NOT stare at the sun. I really wanted to get a filter for my camera so I could take pictures but buying one was way out of my budget and all the rentals were scooped up months ago, so alas, I will just enjoy not working that day and might remember to walk outside.“Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.” - T. S. Eliot

I hope people aren't waiting until Monday to look at the sky, it's been amazing this week.Lost in the right direction.

The forth coming eclipse event is creating Issues around here and in Idaho. Fuel prices have risen due to projected demand. Folks reserved motel and camping spots years ago are arriving to find their reservations cancelled or 'lost' and having to pay the current rate. Projected traffic flow along I-15 and other corridors is bumper to bumper for at least 24-36 hours after the event.
Warnings from optometrists and other medical folks are advising not all eclipse glasses are safe for viewing.
However months ago, an enterprising Scout troop bought 5k eclipse glasses at 1 dollar each and sold the last 3k pair at 7dollars each in one day.
Lest we forget.....

If I travel 534 miles I could be totally nuts. How many miles must you travel to be totally nuts?

I might walk up the hill to the top of the neighborhood. We'll see. I like the idea of lying on my chaise with a straw hat and a mint julep.Lost in the right direction.

ETA: We (surveyors) used to use sun shots on a regular basis as a means of getting true north and there was always the joke you used on new guys; How many sun shots can you take without using a sun filter? Two.

No totality Up North here, but being on site with a couple of thousand science geeks has its own advantages.

Interesting observation here as the 80% partial progressed - all the Vultures came down low and hid in the trees till it was over. My guess is the Thermals stopped as the temperature dropped.Be wise enough to walk away from the nonsense around you!
