to hear the talkies tell it, the moon's orbit around the earth is elliptical. If there's a full eclipse when the moon is at apogee, it appears smaller from earth and even directly in front of the sun it doesn't completely cover it up, there's the "ring of fire" thing going on and it doesn't get completely dark outside.

of course, because the sun and moon are pulling on the same spot - there will be the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse so there is that - but as I said, boring, seen it before.Doing it all wrong since 1966Comment

I held the glasses lens over the camera lens...the camera doesn't like it. In real life through the glasses the sun looks sorta dull, an orange disc, for sure can't see anything else. These are definitely the right tool.

Apparently, "Blinded by the Light" came about when Columbia president Clive Davis, upon listening to an early version of Greetings from Asbury Park N.J., felt the album lacked a potential single. Springsteen wrote it and "Spirit in the Night" in response. "Spirit in the Night" was Manford Mann's first single.Comment

Well.. Hell's Bells! It's THURSDAY.. 4 days before the great eclipse... Walmart had 6-8 cases of water on the shelves, 2 packages of toilet paper,
One station has no regular.. Diesel or super only..
All my drivers are full plus a 5 gallon can.. Got 4 gallons of mower gas. Probably overstocked...but? Never know
A small mountain town in the Cascades past Bend called Prineville has a 20 mile backup of traffic going into town and a friend who lives there says 3 of 5 stations have no gas.
Shitz is just gonna get worse!
Batten down the hatches, THAR SHE BLOWS.. Probably be a flop!
Saw a meme saying NASA miscalucated and the solar eclipse actually goes N to S over the east coast! LolComment

We had a partial eclipse here when I was in junior high (1977-ish), the teachers handed out pieces of exposed film for us to peer through.Originally posted by Deaf Bob View Post

It just fell on me....I'm thinking and that's always a bad thing.....a REAL bad thing....folks are going to pull over on the highway wherever they are to get a look at it. Stopping out there beside the interstate, people milling around and gawking. And Speedball Tucker is going to come through there and....oh my. AND it'll be as dark as the inside of a cow (how Gomer Pyle knew how dark that is, I have no clue)....in the middle of the day...Originally posted by Deaf Bob View Post
