Our driveway is near the center of the eclipse coming on the 8th of April. We will not see it. We will be on a plane between Jacksonville, FL and Austin returning from the Springing the Blues festival. I'd make the same decision again. Three days of blues on the beach beats 10 minutes of no sun. But FOMO is strong.
Central Texas is in an eclipse frenzy. Several towns have declared emergencies in advance of expected millions of people who will be coming to this area. News is in my stream every day. About a year ago I bought half a dozen eclipse glasses knowing that the price would go up.
We interviewed our dog sitter a couple of days ago. She's a work at home woman who is going to be perfect to take care of the dogs. I said something to her asking what she had planned for the eclipse. She had no idea what I was talking about. She consciously doesn't pay attention to the news.
Which leads to a ton of thoughts. I only need her to take care of the dogs so no big deal. But, wow. I can not imagine being that insular.
Anyone need eclipse glasses?
