I kind of wish each eclipse had a name like hurricanes do. There just isn't enough of them, so instead a year is just attached to it. How cool would it be to call it a name like Solar Eclipse Sally, or Solar Eclipse Sam?
What would you name it?
I'm pretty sure the boys will get glasses in school. We wanted to make sure they had some just in case, as glasses were not mentioned.
Since I live in Nebraska, and it's the path of the eclipse - hotels have been booked for quite some time.
Bill Nye is here in Beatrice, Nebraska. I already got an ear full on him. I mentioned him being here, and one of my co-workers apparently doesn't care for him because he's not a real scientist and he's anti Christian. I'm pretty sure anyone can be a scientist just for having an interest in science and doing science experiments. Much like anyone can be an artist, musician, landscaper... I'm sure he's not anti Christian. He's just anti some of their practices and thoughts. You can't tell me he doesn't have some Christian relatives and friends that he loves deeply. So there. I didn't say anything. I don't know the guy. I just thought it was odd she went there with such passion; like he's deeply offending her. I'm pretty sure she doesn't know him either.
There's that. Ya it doesn't really have anything to do with the solar eclipse. I too was like, What the heck? Where is this coming from?
NASA is flying jets across Nebraska. That's pretty cool!
I guess traffic may be nuts here! I'm hoping no one I know gets into an accident.
Travis has the day off, so he's traveling to Auburn to get out of the city.
The boys have been learning about the eclipse in school. In particular talking about the safety of wearing legit glasses. They do have school, and will partake in the viewing.
I have a lot of friends that live in Kansas City who found out last week that their kids do not have school. They are worried about kids taking their glasses off, having eye damage, and their parents suing the school.
What are your thoughts on if school should get cancelled for the Solar Eclipse of 2017?
Isaak was excited to try his glasses on:

Before you decide to take photos, or use your phone in anyway read this: https://www.idropnews.com/news/solar-eclipse-iphone-photography-warnings-tips/47339/
You could damage your phone, or camera.
Just enjoy the experience! There are people trained to take photos and videos with filters for their lenses. I'm sure it will be all over the news, so if you can't get a good view - check it out later.
Protect those eyes! Peace out!
