Eclipse

Is anyone else in the path of totality? We are very near the line that will provide the longest period of totality. We are supposed to get ~2 mins 20sec. It has been ramped up to be a really big thing. I believe the Carbondale and Murphysboro, IL area is the spot that gets the longest period. We did not load our trucks that deliver in that area for Monday. They are anticipating gridlock on the interstates.

Wife and I had planned on going somewhere but the hype has made us change our minds. We will just ride the bikes to a local brewery and watch from their outdoor seating area. I'm not sure we have had the influx of people they anticipated. We still decided we didn't want to spend part of the day sitting in a vehicle on the interstate.

Anyone else going to be able to see this event?
