Anyone else excited for the solar eclipse tomorrow?
Clinched, minus I-93 (I'm missing a few miles and my file is incorrect)

Traveled, plus US 13, 44, and 50, and several state routes

I will be in Burlington VT for the eclipse.

Anyone else excited for the solar eclipse tomorrow?
What time is it?

For my exact location, it will be present at sunrise at 5:10 AM, maximum partial (75%) is at 5:30 AM, and it finally fades away at 6:30 AM, rounded to the nearest 10 minutes to avoid revealing where I live. You're close enough to me that these numbers should be almost the same for you.

Can I point out the difference between pardoned and a commuted sentence?
We have google for that. If this thread gets political it could be locked.
There should be a political thread where all bets are off. The reason why you shouldn't talk politics is  because it makes people hate each other.

You just mentioned a good reason NOT to: because it makes people hate each other. Unless you like making people hate each other?
Nah I wouldn't want it myself.

Politics talk is a disaster no matter where it's at. My comment about running for Mayor of Detroit really didn't have anything to do with politics though, more along the lines of Urban Development.

I recently took a road trip to Eastern Florida (Enterprise, Daytona Beach, St. Augustine, etc.), and one of the things I missed the chance to capture a picture of was some Florida East Coast Railway service trucks in St. Augustine at one of the crossings on West King Road.

As bland as they are, I still regret not taking any pictures of them.

Eclipse:  No, it's thousands of miles away from where I might see it, and besides the best view is in Canada and the border is closed to nonessential travel.

Some eclipse chasers have chartered an airplane from the U.S. to fly around Canadian airspace for the view and then land back where they came from.  Bit too involved, but whatever floats their boat.
