People are pouring into the area to watch the eclipse.

  • Schools are out.
  • A lot of state employees only working a half day.
  • We're being told to treat the roads as if there is a snow emergency. Traffic is that bad.

Half expecting to be told to bang on pots and pans to scare the dragon away from the sun or some such.

I suppose I will down the phone system and we'll go outside and watch the real event - State police ticketing everyone who ignores the flashing signs saying "Do not pull over to watch the eclipse"
