So she's not on to you yet and still keeping the blinds open???? Nice....

I'm going to need better lighting, though.

For those of us that live in SoIN, I bet you are getting tired about hearing about this solar event.

Watch in rain on Monday. Boo-freakin-hoo

The bus is DEPARTING from NE IN and going to smack dab in the middle of no where. I want to know where it is leaving from.

On another note, the hotels in the path are price gouging. SMH...

I used my rewards points a year ago when it first hit the headlines and booked a room for "free" for two nites in Franklin, KY. No gouging for me as my reservation has been in place now for 300+ days But dear God if they bump me there will be hell to pay. I'll rip that Hilton Honors Amex up and avoid their brand like the plague. (except to spend the remaining quarter million points or so)

I bought 25 pairs from Amazon for $9. They look good, can barely see a cloud covered sun. Way better then my welding helmet. I will be handing them out at work.

Cloud Cover in Indy, we had the same sucky cloud during the lunar Eclipse

 

[Beowulf]

Cloud cover was annoying. Got some views in of the eclipse between clouds. Missed the peak though, which is a bummer.

Brooklyn Law School Professor Pulls Off the Impossible: Ties Solar Eclipse to Racism

We live in a world in which any successful attempt to make something foolproof will result in the genesis of a better fool.

When you think you've read the most moronic line of reasoning in the history of mankind, think again. Something like that essay will rear it's mentally deficient head.

It's painful.

First we're a-holes for bringing people from Africa to this country, then we're a-holes for not bringing enough to have them evenly distributed along the line of the eclipse. We can't win.

Simply unbelievable. And these are the people we trust to teach our young adults.

Not me. Trust and our educational system shouldn't be used together.

I took the fam down to franklin, ky for the total eclipse.

Not a cloud in the sky. It. Was. AMAZEBALLS!!!!

Words cannot do it justice. If you have an opportunity to travel to see a total, DOOO EEEEEEET!!!!!

even looking at the pictures online, they don't have the same impact as seeing it yourself. So powerful.

We hung out at the outdoor pool at the hotel, swimming, and taking breaks to look up w the glasses and our cereal box viewers. We got to see the cool crescent shadows under the trees.

The whole experience was the epitome of surreal. Especially when the birds/bugs you only see/hear after 7 started flying around/buzzing as if it were dusk. They were as confused as a baby in a strip club.

And sooo glad we booked a second night to travel home tomorrow after the rush. Traffic outbound was unbelievable bumper to bumper for hours afterward.

OK......now we are fast approaching end of times. This is absolutely idiotic.

The big black hole in the sky was awesome in its truest meaning. Lizard brain did not like it.

I drove secondary state highways and had zero traffic. Sat in a small park in the center of Adairville, ky with only 50 or so folks. Chair neighbors were from Camby which was cool. When I left in the morning I saw traffic already backed up on Hwy 41. On the way home, the same easy driving whike hearing reports that the Pennyrile was a parking lot.

 

[Ericpwp]

Kind of like that first time. Wait... I wanted to try... man that was awesome.

Warning: somebody drops an f-bomb.

NASA jets will chase solar eclipse at 50,000 feet

They should have broke out the SR-71s.

 

[Hkindiana]

My wife and I drove just south of Bowling Green Kentucky. Absolutely no traffic OR clouds. We pulled into a church parking lot with one other car. They didn't have eclipse glasses, so I gave them my spare two sets. They were a little shocked that I did not want money for them. During the TOTAL part of the eclipse, we watched the moon TOTALLY block out the sun with our naked eyes - that was the most amazing thing. It ended up being a twelve hour day, and $50 in fuel, but it was worth it.

The next step is to assert that either man-made global warming caused the eclipse to be racist, or the eclipse causes global warming because of racists in America.
