millions of people will be moving about today and it will be the most highly travelled day of the year, you can't just 'go' unless you've thought it through, and a lot of people have not thought it through.
wise people who program computers have descerned, by looking at theoretical data, that it won't be a Sunday drive to the lake if you're going to Burlington.
I thought: I'll go to Burlington and get on the Ferry that leave right before the total and be out on the lake during the eclipse.
but that's not going to happen.
I'm not unwise.
It's a four hour drive. I have other priorities.
but now I'm wishing I would be there . . .
when the Moon is lined up with the Sun Physics tells us that is when the STRONGEST gravitational pull upon the Earth would occur.
So I can go warn Kurt, God Rest His soul, found dead 30 years ago today, that someone is gunning for him or 'don't pull that trigger'?
I've heard it is unforgetable, anon.
but, ya, 3 minutes with my sisters in a snowy yard and then a 4 hour drive home n heavy traffic? I could go, still, but . . .
