I never saw that page before. How is it that Eric is so far down the board that I am ahead of him? If I can get 2 more likes I can get past Elrod. Not like I am begging or anything...... Tom Newark, CA (Soon to be Modesto CA)

I am sure that I made the "Honorable Mention" group at the end of the pack...

Hurry Tom....Post another howdy doody, and I will like it....

Wrong, you are like in 4th place. Everybody likes you too. Tom

I have a reservation at Motel 6 in Knoxville TN for Sunday night Aug 20, 2017. 1 room, two full size beds. Total cost to the Motel of $64. Knoxville is only 6 miles from the total eclipse path. Easy to find a place to see the total eclipse. I will not be able to go. For a small fee of $20, I will change the reservation to your name. You will be responsible for paying the Motel costs. I am seeing rooms go for $500 for Sunday night. My bad luck can be your good luck for only $20. PM me for more details. This is for real and not a scam. I am a total science nerd/geek and am devastated that I cannot go myself. If no one takes the offer by 4:00 PM on Sunday, I will simply cancel the reservation.

Amen. Best family ever.

Me likem evybody on dis here board....

Most schools and many businesses are closing in my area. It's a 20 minute event - don't see the issue except schools have been warned that if they hold viewing events, if kids get injured the legal liability could be substantial so they demand a parental waiver. Thus they are closing. Wineries are supposedly going to be packed.

@Elrod - reminds me of the "Improbability Drive" sequence from "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" movie, where they all get turned into yarn figures and then back to people except Arthur Dent barfs up yarn... (My older daughter actually knit a Marvin the Paranoid Android - I have it still ['cuz she left it behind when she moved out].)
