anyone else in the path of the total eclipse??

[whimsyonthewinetrail]

just curious if anyone is adjusting handling times as traffic is "supposed" to be a nightmare in our area ..

[worldcoinauctions]

I'm directly in the path, but I have a 2 day shipping time so anything selling say on Friday has until Tuesday (and will ship on Saturday anyway)

We're in the path in Dallas, TX, but today we saw it's supposed to be over cast April 8th.

Will have to wait and see if the weather forecast changes between now and then.

I've decided I'm not shipping Monday.

We are directly in the path and it has been on the news constantly!  Have the glasses and ready to watch from the comfort of my own backyard.  I live in a sleepy town, but with it all over the news, I expect extra traffic.  Schools are closed--surprised it isn't a shipping holiday!

Well a solar eclipse is fun, but it is a rather frequent occurrence. If you really want something special Venus, Neptune, Saturn and Mars will all be in alignment on April 4 (tomorrow). Best seen in the northern hemisphere.

Now for the purists, all 8 won't align until May 6, 2492. Save the date.

All those people snarled in traffic, can be shopping online using their phones.

I'm just going for the beer and forget the rest.

In my area, the eclipse turned out to be a non-issue.  Prepare for the worst, hope for the best, I suppose.  

weather even cooperated in central Ohio - almost clear skies, low 70’s 🙂
