It promises to be a clusteroid of epic proportions for us here.
Kerr County will be invaded by six hundred thousand Tourons.
A Touron is a cross bred between a moron and a tourist.
Being we are ground zero NASA has completely booked a motel here. The networks will also be doing news broadcasts. They advise that we can expect our cellphones and internet service to be overloaded and fail.
Contra-flow traffic control will mean that the State Highway, our only way in or out, will be a one way street. If we leave we won't be able to get back in until the highway is reopened.
The City of Kerrville is going to make parking available for 75 bucks a day. No, I don't think you'll be able to car camp at the curb. People are selling camping spots in their yards.
We have lived along the Gulf Coast for decades so Mardi Gras and hurricane evacuations have given us some marvelous parties, or excuses to party. The local playhouse theater is having a Pink Floyd laser show on the eve of the eclipse. Right now my project is to find my way through the crowd to get my butt into my seat at the show. I'll worry about getting home after the show.
I guess it's going to be about 4 minutes of total darkness on Monday afternoon. That means the freaking will begin on Friday and go on all weekend long. I think there will be a concert in the park too.
