Just shooting from the hip here, Bob…have you ever considered forming an Introverts Club here in Naptown? You might be able to inspire chapters in other states, to which you could flee in the event of another people-packed shindig. (I’d be asking to tag along with you, by the way.)

Oh my goodness, I could not agree more! (I just forced myself to watch 10 minutes of a Marjorie Taylor Green speech, and oh, how I needed your moment of sanity here!)

Say Bob, I don't believe you wrote this at 5 am. More like 1130 pm, after a few too many sarsaparillas.

Right, I remember, that’s why you dropped me like a hot potato. In fairness, you did drop hot potatoes, too.

I am a complete nincompoop and additionally disinterested in the eclipse. Nonetheless my presence for a family gathering for this event is required in none other Lake Lemon in Indiana😂😂😂😂

The last time I attended an eclipse was with a science minded sister at a cousins funeral where we hearded all the disinterested outside WITH the special damn glasses.😂😂😂🤔

Yet another insight into why you and John seem to be joined at the hip. He, too, shuns crowd behavior; definitely not a follower, more an avoider when it comes to mass events unless, of course, it involves the Beatles or Sherlock Holmes.

A 3-day staycation might be worth planning for. Party for those not stuck in traffic as people brake and turn without warning trying to keep up with their GPS before the eclipse.

I might just close my eyes for a few minutes and then slowly open them. Provided I’m not so relaxed that I fall asleeep…
