OK, PSTers (W Coast), what time is the eclipse?

[TomInTib]

And you are all welcome to come to the party on the parking deck.

Whenever it starts.

Thanks for whatever light you may be able to share.

[SeattleGirl]

1. Actually starts at 1:15 am Tuesday

So a little under 3 hours from now.

[TomInTib]

2. Thanks, SG.

You still have time to hop a plane.

[SeattleGirl]

3. Hop a plane to where?

:hi:

[TomInTib]

10. SFO, and I will have a car for you at the airport.

It is about an hour's drive across the Bay to Tiburon.

And the view is magic.

11. I bet. But I can't say it will be bad from SeattleLand either.

:thumbsup:

4. Too late for me to catch a flight; I trust you'll carry on in

the proper style without me.

Redstone

[SeattleGirl]

5. Of course!

Nice to see you, Redstone.

[Redstone]

6. Thank you, m'dear. So many factors (both good and bad) have combined to

keep my DU presence barely on the radar lately...makes me feel good that you've noticed, it does.

7. I always notice you, my friend.

You're one of my favs, you are.

[Omphaloskepsis]

8. I will snap a few pics for ya..

If I can find some new batteries.

[TomInTib]

9. It was whiskey....

And bad cocaine

Poison, kill you just the same

But if that don't kill you soon

The women will down at the Spanish Moon.


I will be howling at the mofo, Redstone.

And twice for you.

14. From SFGate:

For the wide-awake, a partial eclipse will start at 1:51 a.m. Tuesday and become total starting at 2:52 a.m. By 4:22 a.m., the total phase will be over, but then as the moon begins to emerge from Earth's shadow, another partial phase will begin. The eclipse will end at 5:24 a.m., just as the sky lightens at dawn.

15. Shoot! My paper (The Seattle Times) said it starts at 1:15

[Oeditpus Rex]

16. Maybe that's PNW Time

:shrug:

[SeattleGirl]

18. Off by 31 minutes?

:rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

19. Too much caffeine?

:shrug:

Makes me think of George Carlin's "11 O' Clock News," if I can remember it...


It's eight o' clock in Los Angeles, it's nine o' clock in Boise, it's ten o' clock in Chicago... IN BALTIMORE, IT'S 6:43.

[SeattleGirl]

20. Bwahahaha! I remember that too!

I've seen Carlin live twice in Vegas.

Great show!

[Oeditpus Rex]

21. Not sure I got the cities right

Except Baltimore. :D

It's been a long time.

I still remember the commercial during the "news," though:


Y'know, Bill? These cigarettes of mine taste like crap!

Sayyyy, Dan! You should try the cool, refreshing taste of Koolies!

(Dan lights up, takes a drag.)

Koolies, huh? You smoke 'em?

Nope! Found 'em in the subway toilet!


Oh — and this news item:

Dr. Timothy Leary's brother, Really Leary, today formed a new religion that believes when you die, your soul goes to a garage in Buffalo.

:rofl:

17. OK, I am pacing myself..

Timing, Too Slim,
