Are you excited about this eclipse?

Initially I wasn't, but the more I keep seeing about it, now I kinda am. I've never seen one before.
Going anywhere?
Have you traveled?
Taking the day off?

I've heard some schools are closed....due to liability

Not really, it’s being hyped up. But who knows what is planned. Southeastern Oklahoma is in the path of 100%, and a lot of people plan on traveling there to view it. They are sending the Oklahoma National Guard for some unknown reason and told people to stock up on groceries for at least a week, fill their cars with a full tank of gas before they get there, etc. I think some other states are doing similar things. Kind of sketchy just to handle the “crowds”. I live in central Oklahoma.

@cherokeepatti Ooh, I definitely haven't stocked up on groceries and only have a half tank of gas 🫣

@iamnikki I always keep my pantry stocked. But there are some who only shop when they want to cook, they don’t keep a well-stocked pantry.

@cherokeepatti

Exactly. Why are they playing this up so much? It's nothing so special that we haven't seen one before. There was another one in December I think, using my eclipse glasses from that one.

@PatKirby I have read that CERN is being fired up. Maybe even officials don’t know what the consequences of that will be during celestial events. I have no idea. I heard before it was ever built and different areas were wanting to get it in their areas that it was probably something dangerous that they were playing with. I think that was the right thinking, no telling what they plan to do with it. There are sketchy things like dark rituals that have happened near the site.
