True, true, true. Stupidity is upon us and being taught in our schools. Administrators and unions are cowards. Hang them all.

However, the folks in Indy were correct on not wanting kids the busses headed home fighting the million or so visitors. I just returned from the zone of totality on a trip that usually would take 1.75 hours that took 3.5. Maps app guided us onto rural roads for much of the travel or it would have been worse. Doubling the bus ride mightn't have been good for those kids.

The EVENT itself? Amazing. Just fucking amazing. A hole in the sky surrounded by a ring of the corona. It was like a portal to another dimension. Lasted just shy of 4 minutes. I've waited decades for the opportunity. As to such things, this was on a par with watching a Saturn VB rocket launch on a moonshot from Cape Kennedy in December 1972. The loudest noise imaginable and night turned to day as 3 people were launched to the moon.

Life has its extraordinary moments. Today was one for me.
