I'm in Kansas City. I'll be at work that day. And the bosses are not letting anyone take off of work to see the eclipse. (Slave-drivers! Our office is about 5-miles south of the totality edge. We would really need to drive North only a few minutes . . . ) The news folks are already telling people to avoid the highways. Most hotels are already booked for the day. I do have my glasses though, and they are going to be generous enough to allow us out of our cave and into the parking lot to see the eclipse.
