High consumption. That will coincide with the tail end of the lower generation since the peak hours are in the afternoon more than mid-day.
Even though so many people are camping out today?

Box viewer worked perfectly.

Much cheaper than glasses...
What advantage do glasses have, if all they let through is that same sliver?

No totality for us, only 75%...
 Besides, you can remove the glasses in totality, no?

Well apparently if you go jetskiing in Sandusky, there just might be someone there with a pair of glasses. I must say that was pretty cool (although, admittedly, a little over hyped.)

This eclipse was a great way for Americans to forget about all the political nonsense dividing us and to come together in unity over this monumental cosmic event, and also to remember that if science can predict eclipses, it can also predict climate change, you science-denying dumb@SS mofos.

Typical climate change alarmist bullsh*t "science," equating simple calculations based on the long known and observed paths of the sun and moon with climate change predictions which have so far all been proven innacurate.
