    I got 4.5 inches of rain at my house on Saturday.

    Only at 3" here so far but still going. We average 2.5" for the month of August normally.

    Finished at 4 inches total yesterday. I may need to run my sprinklers today.


    Really? (No, not really.)

    So, is 99.49% of the eclipse close enough or should I try to find a parking spot 15 miles north to see 100%? Discuss, please.

    Had a discussion with an astronomer from the local observatory about this, because I am in the same boat. His advice was that you can see the corona at 100%, but not 99.9%. So his strong suggestion was to make the drive.

    FWIW.

    I'm going to see if I can sit in a friend's yard that will have the total eclipse for around 1.5 minutes. I don't want to fight a lot of traffic in a location where thousands go.

    I am in the same boat. I have decided that it is good enough for me - mostly because I have no desire to spend most of a Monday sitting in traffic on a remote 2 lane road for a three minute experience.

    I don't fault anyone that does, just not my bag.

    We are in the 67% range here. So nothing really planned.

    LOL! Today's Google header (8/11) is a blast. Hip hop mixing by MC You.

    Hilarious!
    Nothing incites bodily violence quicker than a Duke fan turning in your direction and saying 'scoreboard.'

    I'll stick to my day job. But like ainging, I did have some fun.

    How does it compare to a flat beer?

    Back in Vegas... again.
    Doing my Snoopy happy dance for Tre Jones. Since I'm dancing, I thought it better to post here than on the EK Board thread.

    Side note: I did a Snoopy happy dance in my office last week for something that happened at work. I don't Snoopy happy dance often, but twice in less than a week...

    Yeah! Glad it came through - did you have to reach someone at the IRS or did it just finally get through the process?
