You know how I define “total eclipse”?

Nap time.

Begs the question. Why are you on this thread?

The only thing up around here is the tulips.

Which have been eaten down to ground level by the deer.

The almost-hysterical eclipse frenzy by the media this year amuses me no end, and again points out its archaic East coast bias. Out here in the West, we had a total eclipse last year, and all the media coverage was the usual: How to make a "cardboard camera" to watch it, where to buy eclipse glasses, where to watch it online. Now that the path of totality is on the East coast, it's suddenly a wild-eyed cacophony of DOOM, I tell you, DOOM! as the juvenile "journos" in the New York-Washington DC corridor fear they might be somehow "affected."

They’re like parades and fireworks shows.....once you’ve seen one of ‘em, you’ve seen all of’em....
At least with those it’s not over in 3 minutes.

The darkness will only last a few minutes, then the sunlight will return. Somebody better warn the vampires!

Yes, any garden is toast if under the total eclipse.

The truth is out now. Yes, the eclipse will carve a swath of non-flaming death across the country, turning everyone underneath into a zombie and the plants to ambulatory man-eating carnivores who do not respect pronouns. In large parts of the country, however, that’s pretty much business as usual anyway. Anyone who denies this is one of Them.

Not sure about the eclipse, but we had an unusual Late Freeze over the weekend and it killed most of my garden that I planted 2 weeks ago.

My mom lives in the total eclipse track and has been hyping it for over a year. But that’s just because she is always alert for any excuse to have a family reunion. She has drummed up a fair number of takers from the far reaches of the clan. I refuse to have anything to do with it for the same reason the local public authorities are freaking out. They expect eleventy-seven bazillion sightseers, two thirds of them without food or lodging, out of gas, half of them drunk, and camping out on every scrap of ground not protected by an electric fence. A lot of them will, despite warnings, expect to drive in, see the eclipse, and drive home that night. That’s not going to work.

Probably only if the black-eyed Susans look at it directly.
