So that's why were having a Solar Eclipse on Aug 21st...

My driveway has about 1 minute of totality during that eclipse here in Nashville.

If I drive 10 min away (during REGULAR day traffic) I can get 1 min 30 seconds.

Driving perhaps 45 min away gets me 2 min 10 seconds or such.

But that's under REGULAR daily traffic. Predictions are that we may see 500K-1 mil visitors either coming to or through Nashville that day. It will kill us all.

Our infrastructure cannot hardly handle daily rush hour traffic, much less a mass of people coming into town that morning ? and all wanting to leave 15 minutes after the eclipse is over.

I may opt for my 1 minute and stay at my house... unless it is cloudy or raining that day, then all bets are off.

Ha! Here in New Jersey, we're going to be far, far away from the totality, so I'm going to Charleston, SC, to put myself in a better spot that day. Whether I'm going to do my eclipse-watching at the airport or somewhere in the city or somewhere else is yet to be decided. I'm curious just how crazy things will turn out to be that day!
