A couple weeks ago, the conservative (read: over 50s men with Facebook) members of my office started breathlessly telling me about all the horrors that will come due to us being in the path of totality. “All the roads will be jammed! Undesirables will invade your home and the cops won’t be able to get there! Human sacrifice, cats and dogs living together—MASS HYSTERIA!” I responded that I was really looking forward to the eclipse, having asked off for the day two years ago. “Be careful,” on co-worker responded. And just to be sure I didn’t misinterpret his warning as having to do with something sensible—like burnt retinas—he added, “going to be a lot of crime. A LOT.”
Can we switch people’s default setting from SCARED to…oh, I don’t know…Mildly Happy? (Please don’t give an honest answer)
Unfortunately, there’s a very real chance that once the eclipse passes over Mexico and into Texas, it will immediately be detained.
Dead.
