It’s a racist eclipse. The path of totality will include 5 state capitols—Salem, OR; Lincoln, NE; Jefferson City, MO; Nashville, TN, and Columbia, SC. Three of those were Confederate states. Nebraska was opened to slavery by the Kansas-Nebraska Act. Oregon did not have slavery, but it forbade free black people from coming there to live.
Pink Floyd must be enjoying a boost in Dark Side of the Moon sales.
There is no dark side of the moon, really. Matter of fact, it’s all dark.
We'll be right in the center of it on Monday (our son lives just 5 miles from dead-center in South Carolina). We're driving up in the motorhome, arriving tomorrow to beat the crowds.
I do have a concern about people being on the road, freeways especially, who (unbelievable as it may seem) have no idea the eclipse is coming. Sadly, I think there will be lots of accidents.
I see what you did there :D
Topple the racist eclipse!! Put out the word...space ships taking reservations, now!
Is there a chart showing the time the eclipse begins in each area ?
I was wondering the same thing!
Thanks, bigbob, for posting that interactive map.
Shadows of leaves on the ground under trees turn into dark rings ... very weird.
They’ll crow any time they hear another in the distance crow, or something that vaguely sounds like a crow will set them off.
Any light source appearing in the dark’ll make them crow, too...
