I’ll be watching from Cleveland, precisely in the path of totality. All the hotels around the city are booked up solid for the day before, at three times their normal rate in some cases. Lakefront parks, which will be ideal locations, are renting spaces to sit. The Guardians opening day game is starting a few hours later than usual so people can watch the eclipse from the stands before the game begins.
As for hazmat teams and all the rest, I have no idea what these imbeciles are talking about. It smells like an attempt to keep people thinking they need government to keep them safe, even though there is nothing to be kept safe from.
My friend lives in the center of the pathway in central Texas. He is going to hang out on his back porch and smoke a cigar.
I may join him.
