If you go to Texas, @robby , we have a Dope Fest in a good spot for lunch on Saturday in New Braunfels. Join us! I’ll get the info and come back and paste the link here.
ETA — here is the link ➜ Texas Hill Country Dope Fest! (San Antonio TX, “SATX”) - #41 by Bullitt - Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share - Straight Dope Message Board. If you can join us, PM me your phone number because I have a group text going to coordinate the meetup. ThelmaLou is local and says the restaurant is popular and will be crowded. We are mitigating that but a group text will help ensure that we all find the right spot. Hope you can join us!
So… I just came across an old post from February 2018 in the Trivia Dominoes game, here ➜ Trivia Dominoes: Play Off the Last Bit of Trivia - #37771 by Bullitt - Thread Games - Straight Dope Message Board.
That was shortly after the TSE in August 2017. I guess I’ve been planning for this eclipse for years.
But after this one, I’m pretty much done. I’m not going to chase eclipses globally, and the next good one to hit CONUS is in August 2045. I’ll be 83 then, if I’m still kicking.
