I might take a really scenic route home. Says it's an hour longer, today...Oh, 300k visitors in Bloomington is going to be a mess. I'll bet I-69 will be a parking lot afterward too. But I'm exciting about being pretty much right on the centerline!
Many schools made this decision months ago due to how crowded the roads will be, might as well just make it an e-learning day.So this solar eclipse thing is getting weird.
Hey, if people want to travel to see it, sure. Why not? My son and daughter-in-law are coming down to see it.
But schools closing because they can't keep the kids "safe"? Ivy Tech is going remote learning?
What is this idiocy?
I'm not expecting a big traffic problem in Northwest Indiana.Many schools made this decision months ago due to how crowded the roads will be, might as well just make it an e-learning day.
I'm flying out of town for a funeral that week and would have liked to arrive a few days early to take in some of the scenery out there, but all flights are sold out on Tuesday and Wednesday appears to be a s$%& show as well...
Memory's of Y2KSo this solar eclipse thing is getting weird.

One explanation I got from an elementary school teacher is that many younger kids will be on busses at the peak of the eclipse and they are too dumb to not look at it. Schools also don't like to be dropping off kids in the dark.I'm not expecting a big traffic problem in Northwest Indiana.
Sorry, I was discussing my area, right in the middle of it.I'm not expecting a big traffic problem in Northwest Indiana.
I need to check my batteries. LolI've got several welding hoods, I'm ready...

Our head of security at our church mentioned being extra vigilant and even remotely watching the cameras. We have 10 acres that are wide open with a big parking lot. His concern is folks who are there to watch uninvited might decide they really gotta go and might try accessing the closed building.My moms place is almost on the yellow line. She says warnings have already been issued about crowds expected (Johnson county park is booked full, all of it). She is not worried, her neighbour on the other hand has barrier for their drive way. Nineveh.
Now just everyone hope the New Madrid does not pull a 1811-12(largest quakes in US history).

And you're where you should be all the time. And when you're not, you're with some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend.I haven't seen anything like it since I flew my LearJet to Nova Scotia.
I wore an apricot scarf. And a hat. Danced a bit.
It was fun.
