Post #419,962 by mvitale 8/24/17 11:21:50 PM 8/24/17 11:21:50 PM Reply	Re: Totality in Russellville, KY I was driving home from a conference in New Orleans to Chicagoland. Stayed the night in Evansville, IN. I had to catch a 7:50 am flight on Tuesday morning...And drive the rest of the way from Carbondale to Naperville. If I didn't have that flight to catch, I probably would have headed closer to Hopkinsville, KY instead of Carbondale. But, oh well. By the time the 2024 eclipse comes around, I plan to be back in Austin, where just a couple hours drive away, I can find 4 minutes and 25 seconds of totality. -Mike @MikeVitale42 "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin, 1759 Historical Review of Pennsylvania

I-57 was a complete mess, and it took quite a while to cut over from I-57 to I-55. -Mike @MikeVitale42 "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin, 1759 Historical Review of Pennsylvania

Why use a scalpel when a chainsaw is handy.
