Ok why not... Scheffler and Rory Mc
Of people that you may be familiar with over there it’s me, Gugny, Jauronimo, BringBackFregy, Mike in Horseheads, ExiledinIllinois, and GoBills808. Then two of Mike’s family members and two of my family members. I would say almost 50% don’t watch golf at all.

I am just learning due to my son's enthusiasm so I think at best i'd be too much of a novice to intelligently participate... maybe next year.
My wife and my daughter are in this. Can’t get more novice than that.

If you want to get into our PGA majors pool, I think it’s early enough we can let you in. You pick two golfers for each of the four majors and you can’t repeat any golfers. Total salary from all eight golfers determined your final score. We have 11 in our group right now. A bunch of us from TBD and two of us have some family members. $25.
If anyone wants to join I would need two golfers ASAP to put you on the spreadsheet.

This guy took pictures next to my car. He did a very nice job.
Average Joe Photography on Instagram.
And another one from the guy standing 10 feet behind me during totality.

Still driving back. It came up on Spotify about 30 min ago.

BTW, any else listen to Pink Floyd’s DSOTM while all this was happening?
Black hole Sun by Soundgarden was the play.

I will be looking into trips in the near future. Luxor, Egypt looks insanely interesting. Almost 7 minutes of totality. It’s like two eclipses in one.

Went with a couple of friends to their friend's house in northern VT. Turns out the guy is a Rochester native, which was fun.
The weather was great. Traffic coming back was horrible. I'm glad I made the trip.
Where in northern Vermont?

And now the sun is out in Western New York.

My phone picture is terrible, but I didn’t go into this trying to get a good picture. The sun and sky looked like every classic total eclipse you’ve seen in any picture.

Prouty Beach, Newport, VT. 90 minutes east of Burlington. Right next to the Canadian border.
The sun was behind a very high, very thin translucent cloud. Probably 95% or more clear. It was 100% up until about 3 o’clock. It only caused minor scattering in the direct vicinity of the sun.

Got this resource?
Don Paul mentioned it in the News.

Clouds seem to be moving to the east a little faster than thought. Maybe some miracle chance there will be peaks of sun in five hours?
Those faster moving clouds are why we decided to abandon Burlington. We’re doing our best to outrun them. Lol
24 hours ago the forecast was perfectly clear for 90 miles in any direction.

We are currently at the University of Vermont in Burlington Vermont. Just finished breakfast. However, the forecast looks like we’re on the edge of clouds. Given how far we’ve come, I think we’re gonna drive another 90 minutes to Newport, Vermont to maximize our chances.

Also, did you used to play in the red hot chili peppers?

Starting in 1997, the guitar player in my band has not missed an eclipse on the entire planet. He’s in Cabo right now and is getting on a ship to go hundreds of miles out to sea to see it. He goes with a big group and one time the chartered two planes, left from Argentina and flew over the southern ocean along with it to extend their viewing. Pretty cool,… if a little kooky.
While not dedicated to see every one, back in 2017 I suggested to my daughter that we should visit places around the world to see them when they occur. So I am on board.

Hope you are already there. The roads from here are going to be awful.
I am an eclipse veteran. We are staying with a friend from TBD in Salem New York. it’s a 2 hour drive tomorrow. We will beat the traffic and we know a great place to go and hang out for the day. It’s what we did in South Carolina back in 2017.
Meanwhile, the good people of Buffalo hospitality industry are canceling hotel contracts made two years ago to resell those rooms at 3x+ the rate.
And the roads are perfectly clear right now. Getting there isn’t a problem. Leaving is the issue.

We changed our plans and instead of going to Buffalo that’s where we’re going. Just passed New York City.

does anyone really not know what a total eclipse looks like?
This is insanely dismissive. We have the world's complete knowledge at our finger tips. We know what everything looks like. Why go anywhere? Why experience anything with your own eyes?

Do people stop in the middle of the road and gawk?
We went down to Columbus South Carolina to see it. It should have been, I believe, a one hour trip back to the airport. It was easily 4 1/2 hours before we pass the airport. We missed our flight and we decided to just drive back home.

Do they have gates? How were they able to stop traffic in such limited time?
That’s a really good question and I’m not sure of the details. My presumption is that at least one side would have various construction vehicles. Maybe that also included the other side. I really don’t know. I’m pretty sure it’s a toll bridge, so I don’t know if they were able to notify them. If I find out the actual answer, I’ll report back.

I hadn’t heard the detail re: construction workers. Awful.
There was less than 100 seconds warning time. There was no way to get a vehicle to the middle and back, nor was there time to walk/run/sprint.

I don’t need any knowledge surrounding Quinn’s injury to understand that him playing in meaningless games immediately after two consecutive leg issues might not be warranted.
I’m sure they are just looking out for their fans here, giving them some juice for the final twirl around the toilet bowl.
I guess if he’s good to go, let’s throw him out there so fans can cling to what might be, until it isn’t…
“I don’t need information to make a decision” doesn’t sound all that compelling to be honest.

I have absolutely no knowledge of the details surrounding Jack Quinn‘s medical condition, but I would like to take time out of my day to tell you why the Sabres are mishandling him…

OT Masters begins today, who is your favorite golfer?

How does someone shoot a 74, but hasn’t applied themselves? I don’t see how that’s humanly possible.
