    America Solar Eclipse Warning

    - frequently top up your gas tanks
    - charge your electric car
    - have a preparedness kit
    - items like paper maps, snacks, drinks and cellphone chargers
    - have a communications plan
    - know where to take shelter if there's an event
    - having these conversations ahead of time is important

    All this just for a shadow? Is this just one massive psyop or do they know something?

    Clearly they are worried about the mobs going mad if the sun
    disappears, for fear that the sun will never appear again.

    That's actually one of my favorite conceits from an episode of the
    2003(?) "Twilight Zone" series...


    The classic story was one from Isaac Asimov, NIGHTFALL in 1941.

    If I call for cable service on Monday, I'll bet this is on the excuse of
    the day calendar.

    So far, my cable hasn't gone out, but I was outside during the event,
    walking my dog.

    Thousands of birds fell from the sky.

    I saw three airplanes go down. No, wait, just parts and covers falling
    off Boeing passenger jets.

    Not owning an electric vehicle, I have no idea if it became discharged.

    Well, we made it through the eclipse in L.A. We only had about half
    occlusion here but as far as a I could tell the effects were
    indistinguishable from a normal day: mild rioting with a soupcon of cannibalism.

    We probably would have had the same occlusion as LA here in Vancouver
    but due to heavy rain it was a complete non-issue here.

    We probably would have had the same occlusion as LA here in Vancouver
    but due to heavy rain it was a complete non-issue here.

    Our forecast called for overcast and the day was indeed quite overcast
    for the first several hours. But it started to clear up roughly about
    the time the eclipse started. Mind you, I have no idea if it cleared up
    in Hamilton and Niagara Region where most of the eclipse watchers were
    going.

    So far, there have been no reports of mayhem associated with the
    eclipse although traffic might have been unusually heavy down that way.

    By the way, just about ALL of the school boards finally cancelled
    school today "out of an abundance of caution". I was finally satisfied
    that this was probably the right move given that some students, when
    told to NOT look at the sun, simply couldn't be relied upon to obey
    that directive. I'm thinking especially of special needs kids who seem
    to act primarily on impulses that they have a great deal of trouble
    resisting. Even if given eclipse glasses, I doubt they could have been
    relied upon to keep them on.

    But the Pandemic that started (and was made exponentially worse by Herr Trump) killed a million Americans - and that's not a sign.

    It was definitely a sign ... a sign (yet another one) that Trump the
    Chump is a simply a complete moron, but everyone with more than half a braincell already knew it way before that. :-)

    I remember there was a total eclipse when I was in first grade but remember
    not being let outside to see it, it might have been downpouring at the time.
