Around here, stop signs are treated as advisory "If you were in the mood to stop, this is a good place". People don't stop unless necessary. If stopping happens, whoever is in the biggest hurry goes first.
It's utter chaos to the uninitiated, but it actually works pretty well.

I don't drive. In any dispute, the bus usually wins.

The eclipse starts to become visible here around 12:30 with totality being around 20 minutes to 2. The lights should be back on by 3:30. Will this be enough time to rapture up all the evangelicals? I would be more interested in watching them being hoovered up than to watch it get dark and then light again...and will I need eclipse glasses to watch the saved get sucked up into the heavens?
