Total Solar Eclipse 4/8/24

[patience0830]

I grew up in Columbus, so when I learned of POT running right over Columbus I was excited about the possibility of being there for it. But that didn’t work out.

A friend and her husband own a large business up in Elwood and are providing appropriate protective eyewear for all of their employees.

Facebook recently suspended my account, as a result of a critical comment I posted, so I won't have access to the photos many friends will post.

Hopefully you all will have a few to share.

Her name isn't Selita, is it?

Either of you guys have a pool? Ingo party at their place!

I'm close to the center line... the lake may be a little chilly though...

I have an old concrete Coy pond, does that count?

No Ellie Mae at the cement pond in case anyone is wondering.

I would prefer a hot tub with the temps.

So this solar eclipse thing is getting weird.

Hey, if people want to travel to see it, sure. Why not? My son and daughter-in-law are coming down to see it.

But schools closing because they can't keep the kids "safe"? Ivy Tech is going remote learning?

What is this idiocy?

My daughter's school is getting off early. They usually get off early on weds for teacher something or other. Continuing ed and such. They just changed the day and made it a little earlier.

Humorous fun fact. My old house on the southeast side of Indy, and my current house in Texas differ in time of totality by about 12 seconds.

The wife works about 10 miles from home and gains 30 seconds of totality over the house.

I moved a thousand miles away and I’m almost in the exact same path. Kind of crazy.

Its following you. Watch out.

I'm near the center line and have a pool. But early April is still too chilly, even for a heated pool. So, no dice...

I would prefer a hot tub with the temps.

INGO party with a hot tub would be exactly like one of those hot dog carts in New York. And equally nasty.

No pool but a nice bonfire

I'm in the same boat. Was in TN for the last one. Was slightly cloudy there. lol

I agree, you made it nasty.

Well, as a matter of fact... . .. .

 

[El Conquistador]

I realized the other day my flight out of Indy to Boston is and hour and a half before the eclipse. I hope I can get out. I guess I need to leave earlier than I planned on in case of major traffic.

I'm taking some friends out in the country to see it better.

Just found out they (whomever "they" are) are estimating between 60,000 - 100,000 vehicles going from Fort Wayne to Decatur that day!

I'm going to find a back route from our house to the pond.

Will be stopping by Manley's Meats to pick up steaks for the grill. A great day away.

So just a warning from wherever you live to wherever you're going to watch from - be ready for HEAVY traffic.

Regards,

Doug

I will rent a 2x2 section of my yard for $200.00 an hour.

That what I'm talking about! How many cars can I fit on 30 acres at $20 a pop?

The other day at work I mentioned putting up Eclipse Day decorations. People thought I was serious!
