That there is what made this extra special for me. The fact that we were going to have probably the best conditions for this against the odds, made me even more giddy the days leading up to eclipse...

I also want to add that Holy Fuck there were A LOT of people trying to get out of northern VT. Put the Phish show traffic jam to shame. It was apparently bumper to bumper 5mph traffic from Newport to...

Excellent!

Just a few miles east of Jay Peak, it went from a bright blue sunny day:

Yeah, pretty much at least a foot to 1.5' everywhere in northern VT. It will be interesting to see how much is left on the ground by eclipse time on Monday and how much that moisture feeds...

Even if it is clear here in N VT, I'm worried about the quick drop in temperature as the sun heating decreases thereby creating low level cloudiness. When I was in HS in the early '90s we had an...

As of right now, Northeastern NY (that's above Upstate), northern VT, N NH, and Maine look to be the most cloud free outside a small area around southern IL. There could be a HUGE number of people...

This just in... Shriffrin caught using illegal waxes! Unfortunately, I can't find today's article to link here.

Seriously. Keep that shit over in NH. We here in Vermont like to keep our resorts small and manageable.

Print out some photos of cats and tape them on the insides of the windows.

I think there are "dolphins" (circled in yellow) at the FSK Bridge between the powerline towers (circled in red) and the Bridge tower. The Dali just hooked around at a perfect angle to miss the one...

It was going out, not coming in.

Impressive response time if that is true!

Watching the video of the bridge leading up to collapse, you don't see any traffic on the bridge other than the construction vehicles for the last minute or so.

6 minutes isn't a lot of time to make adjustments with a boat that size...

Lots of current through there. Probably depends on if the tide was going in or out. Looks like it is going in right now based on the slick emanating from the collapsed main span.

The local chatter is really picking up around here.
I'm getting prepped on the photography side and despite living in the path of totality, plan to head closer to the middle of the path via a very...

More actual real people may start moving back to bastions like TGR forums:

Will a US based vehicle land on the moon today?

Wind is picking it up off the frozen surface and blowing into the woods here in the NEK.

I really hope that bullshit doesn't get swept under the rug because they ended up winning. Kelce really has to answer for that.

Prevent defense always results in preventing you from winning.

Play action to McCaffrey on second down would have been a good option.

Can the 49ers have any more key players get hurt?

Dunkings?

I think that kick would have missed even if it wasn't blocked.

Gahhh... Bad bounce, just fall on the ball!!!

WHAT?

Thought it was a solid halftime show. Didn't try to be over the top. And I don't think usher was lip synching.

Wow!

Kelsie not happy about being taken out on that play that resulted in a fumble. Oh well. ;)

Almost sounds like she's describing stupid Americans at the 1:56 mark. Eat, sleep, have a car, drink Modelo, and be able to shit post on the internet.

Come on Detroit

Yeah, that could have been a huge momentum swing. That ball was launched and right on the money after 60+ yards in the air. And Diggs let it slip right through. Randy Moss makes that catch 100 out...

Total beer leaguer here. Play HS and college club hockey through 2002. Then became a beer leaguer. In 2019 we were short goalies due to various reasons so I decided to add that to my list of things I...

Indeed. It will be very interesting to see what the future brings. But the last 20 years have been an incredible ride.

Dang, I had it on there but not until Q3 2024.

Parts of that video look sped up to compress the time. So it was probably more like 2-3 minutes. But still very impressive and accurate.

We've all seen it before, but she is just sooooo smooth she makes it look easy. I think it has been a while since a margin like that over Vlhova that didn't involve a DNF by one of them.

The disfunction of the Pat's offense is really quite incredible. If they even had a mediocre offense, their Defense may have been able to carry them to the playoff this season (even while missing two...

Summit crushed that piece. Well done. I don't get it either. I guess a lot of these people that seem to support Russia are more afraid of gays than being under a totalitarian regime. It would be good...
