    A big deal around here, "Oregon is being advertised as the best place in terms of weather and chance for clear skies compared to the rest of the United States,",.. hotels are all sold out,.. though technically illegal, the motel/hotel industry has thrown out old reservations and are now charging triple, a government official said, "what are we supposed to do, prosecute them all?"

    People coming in from all over the world to see it, my Sister and brother in law are taking the day off from work. A solar eclipse is kinda cool, but if you ask me, that's a lotta fuss over a five minute event.

    same here, supposed to be 99.7% here in Asheville. pulling the RV about an hour south on Lake Keowee so we can see it exactly on the totality line. same here @GiantDuckFan all the hotels are booked and they are even closing businesses for the day because of all the traffic they expect. should be fun. we got our eclipse glasses this past weekend.

    Well I hear you went up to Saratoga and your horse naturally won
    Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia
    To see the total eclipse of the sun

    If we can all hang around until the year 2078, we will get a total eclipse directly across southeast LA that year.
