I’ll trade you for them. I have 8 pair of eclipse glasses. They work great. Wanna trade? I’ll throw in a cell phone filter.

If the guns were sold by unlicensed dealers and licenses are how they track dealers how would they know? I’ll bet the took a sample from one location then performed a magical math trick to arrive at that limp-wrist scaring number.

TW’s a magic man. That hoodoo happened all the way over here! Scared the crows and everything. Some people got this really strange desire to mow lawns. It was eerie, I tell ya!

If you mow your lawn while neighbors are viewing the eclipse you might be a Redneck. 2 of my neighbors decided to mow their lawns while we were outside watching the eclipse. I thought it was funny. Here’s the only semi decent shot I got on my telescope. iPhones truly suck for nighttime and for telescopes. Still, all in all it was pretty cool.

I think that a snub-nosed revolver in from of the UN would be much more tasteful.

Amen. They are a Collective. A Hot Air Collective or, as I like to think of them, An Oral Defecation Collective.

We will get 94% I made a sun filter for my telescope. I have filters for our cell phones and the glasses. It is sunny right now. I am pretty sure it will get cloudy soon. Murphy is my guardian angel.

Hmmm…That little guy could pass for a Navy Chief.

I imagine that solar and lunar events probably set off a number of things, good and bad, over the centuries. I can also imagine there have been lots of religious kooks that have used solar and lunar events to manipulate their followers to do things at their behest. I am pretty sure today’s eclipse is no exception.

Ah! I see. That makes sense. Thank you.

I wonder why a Veteran would have to be approved, unless they mean a DD214 is approval enough. Their criteria doesn’t state that. I found it interesting that there are quite a few folks listed as having “Unlimited Privileges” but Veterans are limited to online access only. At first blush reading this I think these folks can go screw themselves. Unless, of course, I am misreading the pages in the link. Here is what the “privileges” are for veterans. Copied from the link Dave posted: Veterans Privileges Approved Veterans can shop the online exchanges, including ShopMyExchange.com! Shopping with the Exchange online gives you access to exclusive military pricing and offers, tax-free shopping and more. This is a lifelong benefit that will be extended to all who discharge honorably from service. Here is the Unlimited Privileges qualifications: Unlimited Privileges Active Duty or Reserve Uniformed and Retired Uniformed personnel. Recipients of the Medal of Honor. Honorably Discharged Veterans when certified 100% disabled. Military Members of Foreign Nations when on duty with U.S. Military Service. National Guard not in Federal Service. Red Cross Personnel who are U.S. citizens, assigned outside the U.S. with the Military Service. U.S. Civilian DoD Employees when stationed outside the U.S. U.S. Citizen Employees of Firms under contract to the Department of Defense when employed outside the U.S. Military Transition Personnel. Retired Ship’s Officers and Crew members of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association, NOAA. Ship’s Officers and Crew members of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association, NOAA. Dependent family members of personnel listed above. Contract Surgeons. Non-DoD Federal Departments/Agencies as determined by local commanding officer. Dependents of members of the armed forces, commissioned officers of the Public Health Service or commissioned officers of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association who have been separated for dependent abuse.

This looks like a Bollywood movie set.

I forgot to add…Of course there’s an English Council. They have a flippin’ council for everything there. One of the reasons I refuse to live in Pennsylvania is their affection for being very British-like in all their BS regulations and control.

This Edinburgh Castle? It’s in Scotland. Is this another news thing that’s actually a spoof Joe?

Blackwater, sorry I haven’t been keeping up but this statement you made just slapped me in the face. 3 months ago my doctor put me on Metformin as I am “pre-diabetic”. About a month ago I had what I am pretty sure was kidney pain. It hurt on the right side of my back right around where the bottom rib is about 2-3” from my spine. The pain was constant and it felt like a spear was sticking in me because the pain felt like it was about 1 1/2” in and in a 2” circle. It also felt like it was coming through to my abdomen. I stopped taking my favorite pain killer Ibuprofen because it affects kidneys. But the pain still comes and goes. Now I am thinking that maybe it wasn’t Ibuprofen at all, but maybe the Metformin. Thanks for bringing this up. I have a doctors appointment coming up. I am definitely bringing this up to her.

I have a feeling that if Anti-fart starts their Nazi like shenanigans again I do believe there will be blood in the streets.

I noticed yesterday that ALL the gas stations around here had their Regular gasoline priced at $3.39 per gallon. Every station I passed had the same price. Why is that weird? Because Exxon is always 10 or 15 cents cheaper than BFS or Mobil. Mobil is usually a few cents higher than BFS. The gas sold at Circle K is always about 5 cents higher than Exxon, but it was also $3.39. I didn’t drive by the Sunoco that I go yo to get 93 octane gas for my bike and Miata. Now I kind of wish I did. I don’t know the reason for this. I just found it odd that every station was priced exactly the same.

Clouds and rain. God’s way of saying “£#€% Y’all! You don’t get to see my works tomorrow. I posted my plans earlier in this thread, but today’s forecast for Erie and Upper Sandusky tomorrow have sealed my decision. I think I will go to the range tomorrow. Shooting in the rain assures privacy.

I keep hoping for a story to come out of “the real Greta Thunbug” She has an insect named for her. The “Greta Thunberg Beetle”. How apropos.

I have always called them “ling-en-berries”. No one has corrected me. Probably because they pronounced it the same way.
