OT: 2024 Solar Eclipse

[Fenway]

In 2 days I am driving to Lac-Mégantic for the eclipse - 11 years ago NBC sent me there to work a horrific news story. I want to see how the town has recovered.

We're supposed to be at about 95% totality here. It was total in 2017. Hard to believe it was already that long ago.

One of my coworkers gave me a pair of glasses.

All I know is that I have people hounding me to see if there will be early dismissal from school and/or baseball practice.

It’s making my life a living hell.

Took the day off from work to head up north to watch with my son, who is really into this stuff.

Looking forward to it.

He bought special camera lenses and everything.

We did a family trip to Nashville for the 2017 eclipse- one of the best decisions and memories we made as a family.

Our office is buying moon pies for everyone lol.

Last time we got Sun Chips too

I live in Niagara it’s a State of Emergency has been issued here pray for me, lol on a second topic how do I get rid of the pop ups on here ,it’s always where I want to type.It’s getting very irritating.

A friend of mine lives in Florida and was going to drive to Texas for it, but the weather forecast isn't looking good there so they decided to drive to Vermont for it instead. That's dedication I guess lol

I live in the Totality area and it's likely going to be cloudy, with some rain chances. A lot of the communities in the area have massive events planned and the weather is not cooperating. Many businesses are closed, schools, gov't offices because, you know, a few minutes of night in the middle of the day is unworkable

I am going disc golfing with a friend and we've got our glow-in-the dark discs ready.

If you can spend $12 for a year this takes care of it.

Just fyi….FedExpress in Indianapolis, their major hub, wont be running during the eclipse. Its 100% in the path. Safety for their drivers and pilots.

 

[caz16]

Where we live, it will be 99% and I have no clue if that 1% is really significant but I'm not going to where is is 100%. It is going to be nuts in the Niagara area.

I should have rented my spare bedroom out for what some of the hotels are charging.lol

I posted this in the OT but it belongs here. IN 1963 my Dad and some of his buddies with telescopes went to Maine for the 1963 eclipse. He set up his camera and telescope and did a time lapsed photo of the eclipse. He had a darkroom in our basement at home.

 

[ranold26]

I'm heading northward about 80 miles to get deep in the path of totality.
Black Hole Sun, here I come.

 

[McGarnagle]

Out here we're in the 40% zone, so I may walk outside to see, but not anticipating anything remarkable

Speaking of nuts. Is the Sundowner still around?

Missed marketing opportunity if they didn’t sponsor the event!!

 

[TP70BruinsCup]

Where I am in Ontario its supposed to be sunny so I hope to get some pics. If it works out I’ll post them. If it doesn’t I’ll just drink beer and watch YouTube videos of the eclipse! LOL!!!

Yes still is maybe ,they will have some specials .

I've got my glasses. My nephew's school said the parents can dismiss their children at 12pm so they can go home and watch the eclipse. Nephew is excited.

I'm ready. Not expecting to see much but, it's a cool experience
