About a year from today we in the USA will experience what has been dubbed "The Great American Eclipse." The whole of the USA will experience a partial solar eclipse but along a narrow strip stretching from the east coast to the west coast there will be a total eclipse. This extensive eclipse over America is a rare event.

At first, I thought this was going to be a reference related to our upcoming political elections.

If you get a chance to be in the totality area, it's worth seeing - we went down to Cornwall for the 1999 UK one, and despite the cloud and rain cover it still made the hairs on the back of your neck rise.

I remember were I was that day. I had an interview at Blue Byte, right after the eclypse.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Just checked it's path an I'm only about a 45 minute drive south of the total eclipse band. I might have to take a little road trip next year.

I would also take a road trip to see it, if I were anywhere near as close as you are!

Surely it will depend on the outcome of the election?

I posted an innocent item about a solar eclipse. Others are trying to turn it into a political joke.

I was thinking more in the line of general sorrow and desperation... (not to mention the eight years in potential medieval darkness)

Freakin' misguided cosmic bodies - totality being totally wasted on the nation's wastelands.
I think they should cancel the damn thing until a better route is planned.
