I traveled from approx 159th and Quivera to 143rd and State line because I heard the view would be better. I think it probably was but now i'm about seven deep at the 4way stop on 159th and Switzer. It sucks guys. Never seen traffic like this out here.

At least you have whataburger down there in Oklahoma

I get the taquito's like three times a week.
Btw, this was me during the eclipse ------->

I think my left eye is partially blind but that's because someone smashed a beer bottle over my head at the Levee a couple of years ago because I was talking to his chick.

Nothing a little laser eye surgery can't fix.

Totality was pretty sweet in Morton's Gap KY.

Parking garages made for nice viewing at UMB and BOT buildings.

Your company might even pay for your eclipse glasses too!

So we all agree this thing was pretty underwhelming, right?

The Big Train · « **Reply #162 on:** August 21, 2017, 06:16:55 PM »

pretty sure you're the only one that thinks that

420seriouscat69 · « **Reply #163 on:** August 21, 2017, 06:25:12 PM »

Social media would disagree.

The Big Train · « **Reply #164 on:** August 21, 2017, 06:27:41 PM »

You must follow some pretty pessimistic people then. I also made the good decision to go where the clear skies were, which makes a big difference.

mocat · « **Reply #168 on:** August 21, 2017, 07:41:42 PM »

It was pretty cool to stand there and look at the sun for a couple minutes and not go blind

Phil Titola · « **Reply #169 on:** August 21, 2017, 08:38:47 PM »

I enjoyed it despite the clouds and landing 45 minutes prior to the total.

This... I'm seriously considering coastal Mexico. Almost 0% chance of clouds since it's desert.

Clouds rolled in just before totality for me, but got some cool pics before.
