The DPH has spoken....I'll just make sure my DVR is loaded up with forensic shows and that should keep her happy..until the power goes out...then there's no telling what she'll be capable of...lol

What precautions have they said should be in place for your critters, Spidey?Getting very cloudy here.
Come on over, Spidey! The sun's out here and we'll have about 90% totality. I have Fireball in the freezer.....Getting very cloudy here.
I'm in the 100% totality path. Everyone here is going crazy! Very exciting!
Supposed to be around 80% here this afternoon, so fingers crossed it clears.Come on over, Spidey! The sun's out here and we'll have about 90% totality. I have Fireball in the freezer.....
That's awesome, danie! I wondered if you were in the path! Be safe and tell us all about it!
I'm in the 98 percent range. As I watch all these beep beeps loading up campers and spending a ton of money, not to mention the traffic headaches, to watch 2 minutes of an eclipse for 2 percent more bang for their bucks. Doesn't make a lick of sense to me.
I can sit in my backyard for free and see 98 percent! 98! Why go to the hassle for 2 minutes of 100%?

Science!
paraphrasing:
I will crush our enemies, see them driven before us, and we will hear the lamentations of their women!
My 98 percent science is great! 2 more percent, I doubt anyone is really even going to see that minute little sliver.
Okay. It might be a big sliver. Probably the size of Manhattan, or a Dennys.
I have to run and get more pomegranate popsicles for the event. I am plum out.
If all hell breaks loose and fire and brimstone rains down upon us, I will be bawling eating a pomegranate popsicle.

If the ZA happens during the eclipse...I am most certain that I will probably lasting about two.five minutes. (This is a result of watching Walking Dead and knowing that I will not survive

I just now got my viewing glasses. I started trying to find some a couple of weeks ago, but everyone was sold out here. Finally found a friend last night who had an extra pair, and I drove over to get them this morning. I also downloaded an app that tells me when it's safe to take off the glasses during the totality phase. Solar Eclipse Timer App
My school is having an eclipse party and got glasses for all the students. I haven't told you guys, but I retired this year! I miss being there with the kids, but the extra stuff was just bringing me down. I had my 30 years in, so decided to go for it. Anyway, I wouldn't want to be a first-grade teacher trying to make sure all those little ones have their glasses on at the right time. I'd be afraid one of them would melt his eyeballs by looking before it was safe. Even my middle-schoolers can't be counted on to not try to get attention by removing their glasses and taking a peek.
I'm very excited; the science teacher in me will always be excited about these type events!
I was in Kindergarten in 1979 when the last one happened. I remember being fascinated by the whole event but also remember several kids crying and wigging out....lol I don't remember anyone sacrificing a goat or anything so that's progress I suppose especially where I grew up...lol
Enjoy your pomegranate popsicles....you'll only have a liking for flesh after exposure to the eclipse....muhahaha...
We are in the 98% path. It is a little overcast here right now. No glasses, so we made a projector thing with a box. Just starting to see a shadow move in.
Scott said they all got glasses at work and are shutting down for this. He will get a good view!
