My wife's birthday is tomorrow. Is there some sort of hidden message in this? I would use it as an excuse for getting some booty. Of course that is my answer to almost everything. I don't have special glasses. My wife is making a cereal box viewer. My daughter has a telescope so that may be an option. I'm mainly curious to see what birds and wildlife do when it gets dark. It's supposed to be around 90% blocked down here.

Just spent three days in the total coverage area and if there is another eclipse in 38 years it will be too soon.

Supposed to be 100% here highest view point, blah, blah, blah. We are supposed to have 50k+ people here. Roads aren't showing those numbers as of now, will not hurt my feelings. Ready for this to be over.

I might take a look, but haven't seen great details for when exactly to be watching.

I am working mandatory OT on the ambulance... I'm sure it will be interesting.. our county is estimated to have over 600k people here at one time.. that should mean at least double call volume. We are putting on 4 extra rigs On another note I have a hard time trusting these $2 sunglasses around here to look at the sun! F that
