3.14 We want to travel south for the next eclipse so we can see it at 100%! I know somebody who went down to Carbondale (They had the longest totality) and had to drive home right after...what should have been a 6 hour drive took them 13 hours due to traffic. gonk I'm gonna go see the next one in totally as well, but I'll be going slightly north. I think the best place to go will be the Adirondacks. Or I could just hang out with relatives up in Akwesasne. Either way, I'm not going to Rochester/Buffalo or I'll have the same problem your friend did! xd

NO TRAFFIC PLZ. ..but the problem is the next one falls a week before tax deadline. crying So I don't know how much time I can actually take off.

3.14 Peppermint Elf 3.14 Chrysant Man you guys were lucky to see the eclipse... Best we got was a bit of overcast skies. We could have gone about 6 hours south and been at 100% totality. My friend had really wanted to go but...I really didn't want to spend 12 hours in a car and go into work tomorrow. And I really do not care for the southern part of our state. xd But we had 90% and it was really awesome! I wish it would have gotten darker. It felt like dusk but all the shadows were the wrong way. Yeah, we didn't get much here (maybe 50%), but the sunlight looked REALLY weird. Almost like it was trying to cut thru some thick super thick smog or something. We want to travel south for the next eclipse so we can see it at 100%! I know somebody who went down to Carbondale (They had the longest totality) and had to drive home right after...what should have been a 6 hour drive took them 13 hours due to traffic. gonk Yeah things like that are the reason I'd probably not want to go see it... I've seen a 90% eclipse like 18 years ago and not sure the extra 10% is worth such a long journey. xd

Everybody except Ann Coulter who blamed the hurricane on Houston's lesbian mayor. rolleyes [side note: I haven't fact checked that yet--I just saw it from a tweet my brother sent me so I am assuming it isn't FAKENEWS.] [edit: well I just heard on the news the mayor of Houston is a man so maybe it is fake. xd ]

I think we have a British version of her - just says she to be "provocative" and controversial right? But is in fact just an oxygen thief?
