On the Road Again - Eclipse 2024

Here in New Hampshire we won't have to mow the grass until well into May.--Percy

If you can make the image web-accessible then you can post it. EvC doesn't itself host images, except for avatars. You could make it your avatar, as long as it's not too big (avatar images have a size limit so that they don't overwhelm the site's disk space).--Percy

I wasn't planning to do anything, but we live roughly an hour from totality, so maybe if we're not doing anything Monday we'll drive up. My daughter and her husband drove from Colorado to Missouri to see it. I think they're in Springfield now.Sorry if it's already been discussed in this thread, but if I happen to go, what would I need for glasses and to take pictures with an iPhone. If I put on two pairs of sunglasses, would that be enough?--Percy

So I've got the glasses, and we could drive up tomorrow, but should we? Would we run into jammed roads and huge crowds, something we usually try to avoid? We'd be on Rt. 91 in Vermont around Barton.--Percy

I'm headed north in about a half hour. They're saying there's a strong chance of traffic jams, so if traffic comes to a halt I'll turn around.--Percy

Traffic came to a halt just north of Manchester, still about a hundred miles short of totality. I turned around.--Percy

At 3:10 PM ET using my iPhone: Light is getting dim out. We have hazy skies.--Percy

At 3:20 PM ET using my iPhone: Light even more dim.--Percy

At 3:30 PM ET using my iPhone: Light very dim, I had trouble setting the exposure on this one.--Percy

Glad it went so well for you - sounds like you all had a great time. I had the same issue as you with the sun feeling so high in the sky.What I should have done was get up at 5 this morning and drove up then. The drive back would have taken hours and hours with all the traffic, but it wouldn't have mattered.--Percy

An image of the viewfinder of my daughter's camera at totality at a remote location in Missouri: --Percy

Outstanding! Eruptions and everything!--Percy

Why do you think this? Even if the Bible did contain God's actual words, why should they be given more weight than God speaking directly to us from the evidence of his own creation, the universe.--Percy

By what evidence and reasoning did you arrive at this conclusion? This is a bald declaration completely lacking evidence. You believe God's word infallible, while I believe God's word not only very fallible but not even God's word. We disagree. How to resolve the disagreement? With evidence. Where's yours, first for God's existence, and second that he's the Biblical author? If this world is evidence of God's divine plan then his plan must include disease, pestilence, drought, famine, earthquakes, tsunamis, tornados, hurricanes, floods, handicaps and wars. If God there be then it certainly isn't one who has much love for mankind. You haven't yet offered even an iota of evidence for any Biblical narrative, while scientific viewpoints have mountains of evidence.--Percy

My wife's are around that old and she's ready to replace them, so we could use brand/model info, too.-Percy
