Oregon state parks open up for reservations during next year's eclipse at 12:01 and I have been deputized to get a couple of camp sites by my family.
Oh, that's brilliant! Where in Oregon?
Sweetie, we're crooks. If everything were right, we'd be in jail.

Sounds pretty, Strix, even if it wasn't what you had in mind.

I'm looking at Detroit Lake and Cove Palisades. They're both in the path of totality - Detroit Lake is west of Mt. Jefferson nestled in that range and Cove Palisades is near Madras, which is supposed to have a high probability of clear skies on the day.

The Stacked Grilled Cheese Burger, by the way, is pretty good if you like that sort of thing, but not so amazing that I will need to seek it out again, probably.

And I failed. Great.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm sorry, -t. I hope an alternate plan presents itself.
I need a new background noise tv option for the morning. I used to watch Morning Joe, but still on a news blackout. HGTV seems obsessed with tiny houses which are not appealing to my oversized world. Food channels are good, but I already gained 9 pounds since mom died, so not a great plan. Right now I have BBC on with ST:TNG on which is good for the moment.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
-t, I would suggest that was not your failure, but rather bad luck/overwhelming demand. Assuming that 12:22 was already too late.

I don't know if it's the same during the week, but on the weekend, Buzzr often has old "To Tell The Truth" and similar calm shows on in the morning. If it's "Press Your Luck" or whatever, I would vote no, but anything with Dorothy Kilgallen gets a thumbs up from me.

I expect eclipse viewing sites move pretty quickly. Astro folks are a dedicated lot.
I see some GIBO on YouTube. Is that the best place to find it?

OMFG, scheduling this meeting -- WITH THREE PEOPLE -- is going to kill me.
Me: schedules meeting for Monday afternoon, because I've only heard from one person and need to get something on the calendar
Person A: Can we do Monday or Tuesday morning? I'm not available Monday afternoon
Person B: Monday afternoon would be fine or early Tuesday morning
or later Tuesday afternoon.
Me: Can everyone due Tuesday at 9am?
Person B: It is Grandparents Day at my grandson's school and I think I need to be there at 9:30a. I can't be late or he will have a nervous breakdown. I can do a call on Monday afternoon or Tuesday afternoon.
Arrrgggghhhhhh. OK, fair enough that maybe Person B meant 8am by "early Tuesday morning," but fucking say that!
