According to the map, this eclipse is going to pass right over my house here in nw ohio. People are renting out spots in their yards and fields for decent money. And they are getting it.
Apparently people coming from all over the globe to see this event, should i film it, lol. What if it's cloudy, or raining?

Be better to watch it on TV imo.
Seems kinda boring to me.
Schools closing, folks being told to stock up on fuel and essentials.
Sheeple panic easily
The day after it nobody will remember or care.

Our Chamber of Commerce thinks this thing is gold, they've been promoting it like crazy. We're in the thick of things for it. Smack dab on the red line in northeastern Maine.

I may take a few hours off work and drive the half an hour to see it if we get the right weather. Won't be another one this close in my lifetime. My sisters house is right on the edge, 13 seconds of total eclipse.

Watch out for man eating plants.

I'm more worried about the plant smoking men.

My boss was telling me today how he was reading that there were a bunch of people who believe this eclipse is ushering in the rapture. First I'd heard of that one.

We had a full eclipse here a few years ago. It's actually worth seeing with your own eyes. Not something you can just pay to have staged, or go see anytime like some exotic animals or famous places. Best place to be is somewhere with good vista, to appreciate how the sun becomes dimmer and then everything goes completely dark everywhere as far as your eyes can see abruptly in a matter of seconds, but probably not a rooftop because all the sickle-shaped shadows look weird, too and are also worth seeing (but we were on the roof of a tall building, and it was fine, too). Something like a hilltop with a few trees, maybe, but definitely somewhere with an unobstructed view, from where you can see far. Telescopes on lawns sound like wasting the opportunity.... much more stupid than filming a concert with your cellphone instead of watching. Here, we had a quiet sunny summer day, but when it got dark, strong wind started blowing, so it felt completely as if something huge had swooshed over us. You'll have the time to see the shape of the Sun changing in the minutes before the eclipse, but a smoked glass is enough for that, no need for fancy equipment. We used old 5" floppy disks.

I did take a few pictures

Great Photos

We are very close to the center line for the eclipse, maybe 2 miles off. Hopefully the weather will be good for it.

Yep I’m pretty close

Barely out of the path of totality, probably only a sliver of the sun will be exposed. Was in totality 7 yrs ago....Pretty surreal.

I need to drag out that trash can full of old 3 D glasses I collected in the 70's and advertise them as enhanced viewing glasses and drive north. It's like crossing the equator once you've done it I guess it isn't as exciting from then on. I do like all the commentary though especially the arm chair eye doctors on the tv.

The last one was ok. If I'm at home that day we are just in the edge of I'm at work nearly on the centerline. Maybe im weird but I don't see the big deal and can care less. It gets dark every night and will be over pretty quickly. Maybe im missing something? KY afield went cat fishing during the last one and the cats did start biting. Probably the best think I can think of to do

somewhere around here I have extra welding glass

I bought them so the kids could watch the eclipse at the library watch party years ago.

it is definitely something to see that you don't see every year or but maybe a handful of times a total eclipse in your life time.

The only "big deal" I can relate to it would be that it could be a memory spent with loved ones. Something you've missed a lot of.

That's the best point ever. Especially with it looking like I'm going home this week for a whooping 15hrs after subtracting 5 hrs of drive time from my long 20hrs off when I make the shift change switch from days to night. It would be a full 24 hrs but well one will be a 16 hr shift if 2 are I may not go home at all. But I did have 5 days in a roll off last week.

Watertown, NY is expecting around 100,000 people coming to watch the eclipse. Everyone in the area is trying to cash in, even fishing charter boats are offering to take you out on Lake Ontario or the St Lawrence River to watch it.
