Return your tickets and I'll give you my Mom's phone number! She lives between Prineville and Madras on 500+ acres of Grizzly Butte. You can go there for free! I'm totally serious by the wayWarlockBob":btzov30k said:I'll be traveling a little bit south to catch this at an animal sanctuary. Had to buy tickets, but that means I should be relatively cut off from the masses that'll be swarming Oregon. Looking forward to the event!
Oh, sure, you can say that as a 21st century know-it-all in your Fancy Dan lawn chair, but there was a time when this was serious business. Ancient priests found these occurrences quite useful for wowing and controlling the herd. Show some respect.bosun1":1a2ox6zr said:I'm finding this some what humorous...
I remember that day well. The famous psychic Jeanne Dixon proclaimed that the world was going to end that day. Living in a small town in Ky. and being brainwashed as a Catholic, and being about 13, my mom told us to get down on our knees and say our last prayers as it started getting dark. Sad but now comical.AJ":jm8ray73 said:Thanks for posting this Rande. Back in 1969 or '70 I was fortunate to be living up in the Northeast corner of my home State, North Carolina when there was a total eclipse. I was only 19 or 20 years old and thought it was totally (pun intended) awesome. :fpalm: I'm all excited about seeing this one however, where I live now, we will only see about 90% totality. :bounce:

That's why I'm going, gotta charge up my chakras and begin the human sacrifices; how else are we supposed to bring the rain back?Richard Burley":xoo3ro2y said:Oh, sure, you can say that as a 21st century know-it-all in your Fancy Dan lawn chair, but there was a time when this was serious business.

Hopefully the ones we got from the local astronomical society are the real deal! 8)Brewdude":r82shdh0 said:And then today in the newspaper I read that there are some bogus glasses that aren't made to the specs that are needed. They're even stamped with the right logo that the bastards got off the net. So I'll be sticking with the brands they recommended. No way am I going to jeopardise the only eye I've got left!
CNN said there was nothing to worry about! Should I be worried?

You had me at "CNN said..." Now I am frightened. I'd say it's every man for himself, and watch for looters.bosun1":3ib7xfp2 said:CNN said there was nothing to worry about! Should I be worried?

This should point you in the right direction to obtain the special glasses you need. CLICK HEREBrewdude":hw9d4dzc said:Hmmm........
Can't seem to find any store in my area that has the special glasses. I would've thought they'd be selling like hotcakes.
I see I can get them from amazon but the smallest quantity I can get is a 4-pk and I only need one pair. So I'll continue to look around. Maybe Target or somewhere sells single pairs.
Cheers,
