I've heard about what he is talking about. I've never done it but you do it a sunset or sunrise. People get energy from it.

This Is True. The Best Time For Me Is In The Morning. I Do It Every Day Now. It Is One Of The Most Important Things I Do For My Health.

Seems suspicious to me. I think all the news agencies telling us not to look at the sun during an eclipse is to deter us from discovering the truth. God has the sun wired to a dimmer switch.

Listening To The Mainstream Media Is The Last Thing Now A Days You Want To Do. They Are Never Right About Anything. Do The Opposite Of What They Say And You Are Good. ;)

Two Separate Issues Brought Together By A Tall Bridge And A Lot Of Water...LOL. I Guess I Could Always Drive Across The Bridge With A Life Jacket On And That Would Help. :)

I think one of the appealing aspects of them is usually the complete lack of any rules. And yeah, why would people want gates when they're naked. That would be like walking around naked in your own home with the blinds pulled. What fun is that?

Wow, a total eclipse over Ibiza! That will be epic (and expensive if you want to stay there for said event)!! Where did you get that image from Juan? I really like the way they did it and would like to see other eclipse paths in the same format ;~))

The Fun Of Not Getting Arrested Is About The Only Thing That Comes To Mind. Other Than That, I Agree...Total Waste.

So that statement ("The Fun Of Not Getting Arrested") got my head spinnin' and of course, I had to write a song ;~)) I will PM it to you, thanks for the inspiration!

There you go

Ibiza is not that expensive (travel from the US aside) if you stay away from just-for-tourist-places... I will remain at the very north of the country, hopefully on the top of a mountain with an icy beer to celebrate the event 😎

Pshhh! Ibiza?! If it's anything like the moon in this thread...it doesn't even exist! 😆

While you're doing it, keep your eyes closed tight as well.


This reminds me of my wife telling me how amazing the view out over the drop is when we've been driving mountain roads in the Alps.....
.........while I've got my eyes fixed somewhere between straight ahead and the opposite side of the road from the plummet to certain death.

You sound like my wife. She closes her eyes on roller coasters (her father would be spinning in his grave if he hadn't been cremated). I've told her she's missing half the fun.

Side note on my father-in-law - years ago, we were at a local amusement park. At that time, their newest, biggest, fastest coaster (which is a great ride that goes through another coaster) had a loop in it, so the harnesses were the over-the-shoulder type. Straight out of the load house, you go into a climb that takes over a minute. As soon as we started climbing, he started tugging on the harness. I watched him for about 30 seconds and said, "What the hell are you doing?" He said, "I'm making sure this harness is locked into place." I said, "And what are you going to do if it's not?" He suddenly got very still and muttered, "Son of a b!tich..."

Thanks for that! I have posted on that facebook account asking for source of that image!!

As for Ibiza, I understand what you are saying! What I was implying is that during the eclipse, like anywhere else on it's path, it will become very expensive. I hope you get to enjoy on a mountain top with malted beverage as proposed ;~)) I was quite taken by the beauty of Cadaques and the surrounding area when I visited there some years back. I was there to tour Salvador Dali's house, which was great, but I thought the area itself was epic!

But, the sun DIDN'T go down, and it got kinda dark anyway because SOMETHING was blocking the sun. Whatever it was, I can verify that it was round, because I saw it. So... what do you think it was?

I just meant the sun goes down every night. It's like an eclipse! Maybe the moon is flat. You only see one side of it. It seems unlikely you would see only 1 side of a rotating ball. More unlikely that it would be the same size as the sun in the sky. The moon surface is supposed to be like gravel. Gravel wouldn't reflect that much light as you see. The moon most likely is self lit like the sun, just not as powerful.

I’m not far southeast of the path, about 50 miles south of Houston. I’m not sure what we’ll see here, but I’ve no plans on traveling. I’m in the process of having my broken, old AC system replaced with a new heat pump setup, and the only thing falling into shadow here is my bank balance!

I'm in the same situation, heat pump to change, I even sold a guitar to limit the damage, but it was just a Gibson SG so everything is fine.
The good news is that I was in exactly the right place for the total eclipse and it was an unforgettable moment!
