Who knows what actually happens on the day, but as of this past week, they are predicting a more than 50% chance of showers for Monday and Tuesday. This is kind of funny after hearing about the big eclipse activity happening around here. It gets ridiculous when they start covering stories with people from around the world coming over here to get a best look at something we're not supposed to stare at in the first place. Wife's school, for example spent a huge amount of money on those special solar eclipse glasses for every student, they cost a little more because they are getting personalized with the school name or some crap like that. It's funny to me that after going thru that ridiculous expense, that the sun will play shy guy and hide behind the clouds during it's most interesting day of the next decade, according to some.
I still don't understand why the governor was already calling for a disaster declaration for a few minutes of night time during the day with an easily explainable reason, but we are still a very primitive people when it comes to rituals. Some geniuses online are declaring end times, some are declaring that a portal to another dimension will open, which obviously happened during Covid and the reason for all the nonsense we now seem to live in, or so "they" say. I guess that by declaring it a disaster, the governor then has options like the use of the national guard. A story I read said this means he will have access to blackhawk helicopters from the military, if needed. I do kind of like the idea of a few of our military choppers full of missiles and power be at the ready if some fools want to act up.
Another facet of this is that school will be canceled for some, even Mijo at Southwestern University. He said we could drop him off Monday, but before practice, he doesn't understand that during the week, we are both at work, so we will still drop him off Sunday night. I think school back home is also going to be closed for the day, according to my mom. This didn't make sense until you add in that there will be an extra few hundred thousand people meandering through the thin area of the country where the eclipse will be a thing, and we just happen to live in it. With up to a million new strangers driving around, maybe keeping your children safe at home is the best thing, because people suck when given the chance, not because some spiritual shit will happen.
I am pretty sure I've experienced a few eclipses and it's always the same thing, it gets dark for a few minutes, you're not supposed to look at the sky, but come on, we all do, if for a second, with or without those goofy 3-D looking glasses, then within a few minutes it wears off and the day continues as if nothing happened.
