I live right in line with the path of the eclipse. It’s getting really stupid around here!!!! Everything closing, keep your pets inside, fill up your cars gas tank and stock up on food etc. Like the world is coming to an end. lol. I will say that we will have lots of outsiders coming to my area and there isn’t a hotel room to be found for 200 miles!!! Cracks me up how stupid people are. Here’s an idea stay were you belong!!! We don’t want you here.

Another step up in number of vehicles out and around. An extra car or two at various gas stations I pass at 2pm and midnight. Etc.. Things continue to ramp up. Am reading of several other celestial happenings , near the eclipse day. Yesterday was one. The planet alignment things can effect tides and such. Weather Channel on Tv now, not mentioning anything on that, just the eclipse, so far. How much is hype, we shall see. Do stay safe though, our fellow man continues to be the biggest threat.

From the signs seen outside of adult libation dispensing businesses, it will NOT be a sober eclipse. They have put out big signs along, on rt90 telling people not to park on the berms. Was more concerned with the ones that will stop on the road !

Signs going up on the interstate northwest of Memphis here, “expect major delays.” I guess they’re expecting a lot of traffic coming into Arkansas to see the eclipse. I may be taking turnrows to make it home from work.

Yeah. We have 3+ minutes of totality here. Heard of some normal $70 rooms going for $900. Traffic will be horrible. Most schools have closed. Emergency services & law enforcement planning for a big mess.

Weather Radar even has a path of totality over the map, my house is about as smack in the middle as you can get, maybe one degree off. We are scheduled for rain and clouds starting this evening, itll be funny as crap if no viewing takes place locally, then watch out for the returning traffic and pissed off veiwers.

I may be taking turnrows to make it home from work. I was supposed to drive down today and stop in Little Rock and go to Memphis tomorrow. I cancelled those plans till next week. The usually hotel was $250 over normal price and just 25 miles west of there, they were about $400 higher. No thanks!

Better watch out when you do come down, buncha folks in LR and Memphis be playing with their new toys by the time they get done with these outta staters!

Had to drive down to SanAntonio for mother issues, this afternoon. There were lots of signs for park here 50.00, and my favorite, park here bring a picnic and sit in the grass for 200.00 a car. Meeting a realtor at 11am, then he changed to noon and said it’s kind of close to the eclipse, if not noon, 430p will work. I replied it’s business and noon is fine, I can look up at 130 if I need to.

Am I the only one who really don't give a flip about the eclipse? Clouds will do the same thing. Who gets excited about it being overcast?
