Did you buy tickets yet for the Great American Eclipse?

So did you buy tickets yet? I'm not going to see it I'm about 4 or 5 states away from the line.



A tribute song, as I won't think about it ever again in this lifetime most likely:

 

The Great American Eclipse is coming to the USA on August 21, 2017

Great American Eclipse | Total solar eclipse of Aug 21, 2017

Info there if you are going to buy tickets. Some people really are buying plane tickets to go see it you better believe it.

 

Fig. 1. A Total Eclipse of the Sun.
This movie shows a total solar eclipse beginning as a partial eclipse with the Moon moving from upper right down toward lower left. The eclipse then continues through totality with bright coronal streams and red flame-like prominence. The eclipse then concludes with another partial eclipse. Click image for "Why See a Total Eclipse of the Sun." (Cred. H.L. Cohen)​

I think some people might even be drinking Corona while watching the Sun's corona.

 

"What you see in an eclipse is entirely different from what you know"
~ Annie Dillard, from Teaching a Stone to Talk (1982)

 

Whoa buddy! Where'd you draw that conclusion from?

Are you a Doomsday Prepper if I may ask?

 

Figured about as much! In texts I've read, this is considered a time of declining morality and virtue in the human race. But the planet isn't going anywhere soon. It's just the people who may not be around for too much longer.
