August 21, 2017, set your calendars and get ready because this eclipse is going to be real close to Cincinnati.

Check out that website and watch the 10 second or so animation. This will or should be a pretty big event around here.

Forgot to add, the best place to view this will be in Hopkinsville Kentucky about 75 miles southwest of Louisville.

One of my papers is just outside Hopkinsville; the other is in a spot that actually has the best view (longest totality for longest duration) but it's a county with a population of less than 8,000... and a third of them are in jail.

Anyway, it's been pretty nuts the last 18 months or so. They're anticipating 100,000-300,000 people somewhere along Interstate 24, many of them from other countries.
