Oh, yeah, cruise should be good! I've heard they can even stay within totality a little longer if conditions permit. Hopefully you will have clear skies, meara, although the very cloudy eclipse in the Faroes was still a very cool experience. I have no reason for thinking this, but I feel like August should be better weather than March.
I had a whole section about civic pride.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

From what I recall of the last eclipse the social aspect and camaraderie of the event was an important part of the experience.

Yeah I bet cruise is good and I’ve heard Spain is a better bet for clear skies but ah well.

In random Fort Lauderdale news, this is apparently a record-breaking turtle nesting season. When I went over to the beach last night, I noticed bunches of cordoned off nests, so I checked this morning and found that they have roped off over 400 nests as of last week. Just from the spot I had planted myself I could see probably a dozen. Yay Turtles!
My snorkeling friends have posted quite a few turtle pictures lately, so they must be enjoying conditions right now.

Did The Lost Boys win anything? I know they were nominated for a bunch of Tonys.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Supporting Actor and Actress, I believe. Don't know about the non-acting awards.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Thrive to spite them
I forgot to go vote in tbr primaries yesterday. M was like...we need to go sooner rather than later and I felt like crap so put it off and realized around 8 we hadn't gone.
And I didnt sleep well last night because I had more intense , distressing dreams and smoke up not feeling very rested.

Bummer, askye. I hope you feel better soon and that the primaries went ok (not going to try to check the news to find out myself...)
Finally caught up on Midnight Burger. Caspar making me want to cry while I'm driving, that's hardly fair. Y'all didn't mention Ava singing Tom Lehrer, always a treat. I feel like there were more, like, musical interludes of various kinds in this episode? Cannot wait for the next one, but also desperate to know what's going on with the Horizon crew (really appreciated the "I'm sure Leif will show up eventually" I am paraphrasing from the previouslies...)
