You knew it was going to be unrealistic, yet you got here anyway. Alright, I'll go do something productive after I finish my ice cream. And Yes I did stop by and get a trio on the lottery. When things line up you have to seize the moment.
Not an error. Just toning. I love Dulce de Leche Ice Cream What your favorite? And talking about an Eclipse.. Coming soon to my area!
Trust me, it's worth a day's travel, unless your front lawn actually is in the path of totality. I've never flown to see one, but I have zero regrets about the three-hour drive to see the last one, and I'll be driving further than that for this one. (One does come over our house eventually, but I'd be 115 by that time, and by then I'll probably have looked for a house that doesn't have stairs.) A friend of mine flew herself and her daughter to Easter Island to catch one -- while I don't travel internationally, I would say that trip would have been worth it, too.
The path of the 2024 eclipse passes almost directly over my house, so it goes without saying it will be overcast and raining.
To be honest, I have wondered what it would be like to watch totality approach from under an overcast. Not enough to drive to a spot where it's raining, though!
