Providence Farm -

Glad your getting to spend time with your family. I used to work a lot of overtime as you do, especially while raising the kids.

Think I read somewhere it was 50/50 whether you might have to be on the job.

Enjoy!

I reckon if a feller had a secluded field he could rent it out to a bunch of Wiccans. I bet they'll really have a shindig with all the celestial events.

If I were renting, I'd stick them over with the rednecks, Lol.

LOL
Signs signs everywhere there's signs.
A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign.

So, is Max Yasgur’s farm in the path?

It's going almost directly over me. I'm excited to see it. Why not enjoy something cool from the cosmos. It doesn't happen often. I'm going to relax and enjoy.

Pretty close to dead center with me. Need a place to park? Come on over. I gotta big yard.

Careful now, your liable to have a bunch of Wiccan rednecks born next January if you ain't careful. lol

Told the neighbors today i might open up a lemonade stand, maybe sell some bratwurst, t-shirts. Who knows, it might be a good time to clean the garage out.

Nailed it

You won't be disappointed. Try to find an open piece of high ground to view it from, and during the few minutess of total eclipse take a quick 360 view of the horizon.
Pray for good weather.

The pray for good weather jogged my memory. We actually had a clown call into us at work a couple of weeks ago and asked us this " if it's cloudy on April 8th, are they going to postpone the eclipse until the 9th?"

Leading up to the last eclipse, we were camping next to some modern hippies from California. They were traveling with FIVE cats. Dude had a canoe with more gizmos on it than most bass boats.
A couple from way out of state came to see the eclipse, but it was foggy. The dingbat woman was driving and passed another car in the fog and hit a young fella from Scottsbluff, killing him and her husband. She lived of course.
I watched it from the SE corner of Nebraska with my Brother and his wife. The coolest thing to me was that coming out of the eclipse, the shadow leaving the earths surface was traveling 1500 miles an hour. That's the speed it takes to travel around the world in 24 hours. It was fast.
I'll watch the partial eclipse from here and it'll be maybe 75% eclipse.

Diane picked up free eclipse viewing glasses at the library. I will definitely try to see the eclipse, but it's not something I would drive to see, unless there was also a party or social gathering I wanted to attend, for it.

I was told today at the local po that wyandot county was expecting somewhere in the neighborhood of 70.000 out of state visitors for the dark day. Not sure how they know that but that's way more than i figured. Sounds like one better have a few days worth of supplies beforehand. This has all the makings of a cluster.

Here's a better map of the center line path of the eclipse.

It does not pass as close to us as another map showed, that had a thicker center line. It's not real far off though.

According to that, we're at 95%.

My Step brother is flying out to see it- crazy obsession
