My mom had a saying that drove me nuts as a kid, if wishers were horses, beggars would ride. This means people who sit around saying I wish, and never accomplish anything.
This is how I am going to handle the coverage today. I will be going outside around 11:00 a.m. and look at the sky every 15 minutes or so. If there is anything to report, I will post it. Around 1:00 p.m. I am going across the road to the parking lot of Calvary Baptist Church. I am going to watch the show. Then, I will follow the same pattern until daylight is restored.
Yes, I started as a sportswriter. However sharing the news to the people of Franklin and surrounding counties is very fulfilling. I have never felt more in the will of God than I have right now in this stage of my life.
When I shared a little over a week ago, how communications were strange in 1979 during the partial eclipse, I would be leery if near the event that cell coverage would be weak. In a perfect world, this is how I will spend the day.
I would love to be out on a lake or a farm. If on a lake I would love to monitor how the fish would bite before and after the eclipse. My curiosity would be if channel cats would be feeding right before it. The perfect spot, would be one of the West Frankfort lakes. It has been years, but I know in the past where fish bed and where catfish run.
I would love to be on a farm to watch how the livestock behaves, especially if the roosters crow after it is over.
Actually, I am more curious how nature behaves, than the eclipse itself. Being a weather nerd, I am wondering how the temperature drops, and will the storms be more intense tomorrow. I am not making a forecast, this is out of curiosity.
God is going to give us an awesome light show today. Get out and enjoy it, if possible.
