And I've also heard they're not allowing stopping on the side of the freeway just to view (but I'll bet it'll be lined with folks anyway). So ... gonna stay home, grab a lawn chair, and enjoy it in the front yard. We'll be almost 98% here anyway.
    nothing. I'm like Saban, saw on TV what it will look like. not that impressive
    Not only did Mississippi State embarrass LSU on this night. Davis Wade Stadium wrecked Tiger Stadium in music choice, atmosphere and, most of all, volume.

    Drove up from Atlanta (97%) to Sylva, NC (100%). The difference between 99% and 100% is bigger than the difference between 50% and 90%. That's why people make the drive. The corona is a rare sight.

    If you miss this one, the next is 2024 and Starkville will be in totality in 2044. Although given my knowledge of this board, most of you guys may not make it to the 2044 one. Best to drive and see 2024.

    Yeah, I don't see the big deal. It will be neat to look out my window and see it get darker at mid-day, but looking directly at the sun is not something I will be doing. Will catch a glimpse on tv and then go back to napping.

    This seems like the most sensible answer Ive seen. Don't waste a good opportunity.

    it's not just the circle of the sun ... take note of the shadows ... like tree leaves for example - the light is bent around and makes for a pretty cool thing

    I'll be working so others can go out and protest the eclipse or whatever offends them today.
