Greetings, gang.
Clear and 78 this evening at ground zero for the eclipse. NASA and Bill Nye, the science guy, are in town for the big event on Monday. Rumor has it that NASA has rented a farm north of town for the last 9 months getting ready for this.
Train buddy and his wife and I went out last night to cruise the local restaurants to see how busy they were. Went into the best one in town and it was less crowded than normal for a Friday night. After dinner we drove around town to look at the local campgrounds and parks. Still very quiet in town today also. I think most people are staying in Lincoln and Omaha until Monday morning and most of the local residents are staying home thinking there will be big crowds everywhere. Then on Monday Hwy 77 from Lincoln to Beatrice will turn into a giant parking lot for the duration. I'll be staying until Tuesday morning to allow the traffic to clear out.
All stay safe.
Tom
