Holcomb declare emergency ahead of eclipse

[gregkl]

Agree with all of this except I had to be at work and deal with the traffic.

Was it worth literally weeks of publicity and a state of emergency? Nope. But to those that got to experience it, it’s pretty effin cool.

We had an extra set of glasses and gave them to the Amazon driver. She didn't have any and was going to miss it because of work. She was really happy that we gave her a set.

So true. Post Eclipse, no big deal in NWI. Except the goofs parking on I65 trying to view, then lanes down to 2 from 4. ok.

I went off to go to work on mids, traffic here was bumper, 70 mph, about one car length of gap between cars.

Guess what? 90% were Illinois plates, pushing lanes, cutting off semi trucks to get that extra 30 seconds closer to home. Im sure they spent weekend or at least full day in the waiting mode for the E event. So lets play Demo Derby at midnight with everyone else.
What an experience! Insane.

We had a delivery while we were sitting in the driveway. Gave our guy a bottle of water and a view of 50% coverage, at the time

Sorry, I don't keep used motor oil around the house.

HA!
To me that looks like a Guinness Stout in a brandy glass.
Do you like dark ales?

Exactly, used motor oil.

 

[BeDome]

Exactly, used motor oil.

If your used motor oil has that delicious foam on top, then you either have way too much oil in your motor or you'll have the cylinder heads off before it behaves again.
