Thanks all for the birthday wishes.  I'm getting so old I was even late to my own birthday thread.  :\

These are a friend's photos of the totality.  That's really what it looks like, no filters or camera tricks.  The difference between 98% and 100% is indescribable.  Believe me, I was a skeptic and this morning when I saw all the traffic I kind of thought since we'd get 98% here at home that it...

Yea, sticking to the interstate the whole way up would have been miserable.  Fortunately we were off on country roads and were moving.  Driving through cow pastures and small towns is at least interesting even if it's the long way to go.  We stopped just south of the GA/SC border, so we were on...

I took the day off and drove up to the Georgia-South Carolina border (normally only an hour north of Atlanta) to see the totality.  It took us closer to 2 hours to get there.  Waze took us the scenic route taking backroads so the drive wasn't terrible.   Taking the day off and driving 3 hours...

No, it sounds like a Pterodactyl

I can't recall ever seeing the parrot, so I don't have a clue what it is.  Even if I could see it I probably couldn't identify it.  I doubt it shows up in my "Birds of Georgia" book. :P It's really really loud though.  I have seen the large cage they have on their back porch for it.  My best...

With my luck the parrot would be some sort of endangered species... ...so the fine would probably be doubled or something  :P

This has crossed my mind, but I'd be one of only three suspects in the parrot murder so my odds of getting away with it aren't good.  

yes, when you do that all the dogs in the neighborhood will start barking. 

Unfortunately 25 acres parcels are prohibitively expensive near me.  My 3/4 acre lot is more than 3 times the size of most parcels in our area.
