Great Eclipse of 2017

It looks like Oregon is the only State in the direct path with legal weed.

 

Heads up to rest of the folks: the narcs are going to be crawling over those eclipse viewing parties.
Watch yourself.

 

For advance planning purposes, the 2024 eclipse will be on Monday, April 8 (likely to be home openers for many teams), and will pass directly over Dallas and Cleveland, with 99 percent totality for Houston, KC, Detroit, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and Toronto (95+ for Chicago and probably Milwaukee), between 2-3 pm local time.

If MLB doesn't schedule a shitload of day games that day, well, they've had plenty of warning.

 

By 2024, weed will be legal nationwide.
The ensuing revenue will likely be so well spent and administered that most the country's problems will be solved or well on the way to solved.

What does this have to do with an eclipse?
Admittedly I have never seen the excitement surrounding these things, but whatever floats your boat.

 

Sucks that I'm less than an hour's drive from totality but have to leave for work just after the best part. Hope the 98.8 percent in my area isn't too disappointing.

 

I'd imagine the last thing you'd want is your multi-million dollar outfielders trying to catch fly balls on the run while praying that the $4.95 cardboard glasses standing between them and burnt-out retinas stay in place.

 

Dammit, the timing didn't work out for that moment when the camera would've slowly panned across the crowd wearing its special glasses, the announcers solemnly telling viewers how beautiful but dangerous the eclipse can be to look at directly — only to focus in on Manny Ramirez out in left field staring blankly up at the eclipse with no eye protection whatsoever.

 

In that case they'd better cancel all day games altogether, since you get much more intense UV radiation if you stare at the everyday full sun.

 

Won't make it that far. It'll get carjacked in Trenton.

 

It'll linger over Bob Jelenic's grave for years.
