Here in the UK, Olney is pretty much the only option going, around GBP45, which is probably, what, fifty USD these days?

Closer to $58-59 depending on the exchange rate at any given moment. Still within Royalist's budget.

the lightest coloured felt, it cools down and in case someone needs tofind you in the dusk.

That's right... I just read that the experts expect the temp to drop about 10 degrees fahrenheit, but during past eclipses the temp has dropped as much as 28F.

What's your pick for the best Solar Eclipse Hat for 2017?

one small step for man, one giant hat for mankind

I don't know where else to put this...

Anybody got plans for the eclipse on Monday, 8/21? We get about 59 seconds of "totality" and the prosess takes about 2 hours from start to finish. My PhD bro from Cali is coming up for the weekend and wants to stay with us and then drive to an area that gets double the totality, about 2 minutes. I'm guessing he's just asking to get stuck in a huge traffic jam en route and will have to watch from his car in the middle of the road.

I think I'll stay home and watch (if it's not cloudy or raining)! Although, there's a small town down the road that gets about 30 seconds more than we do.... maybe a picnic in the city park???

I'm still thinking about what hat to wear.... so what's the best eclipse hat????

Maybe an Indy hat?

A straw hat?

A Disney just because of the huge circus it's going to be, or something festive to celebrate???

We are just about directly under the path of totality in Albany, so we are going to avoid the crazy people and watch it from our back deck. I can just change hats all eclipse long until I find the perfect one.

That pic's getting a lot of "exposure" around here lately (and deservedly so).

I wonder how that guy feels about having become the new poster child for "dumbass".

Ha!

 

[Frunobulax]

Ok, hat question. OPS tags are seen from '51-'53. So does that mean, if it doesn't have any OPS tag, it's not from that period?

Still don't believe in the deliberate dumbing down of America?

I don't think so
Especially since most of them have been taken off or fallen off
For example the Stetson OPS markings were on the outer cut out of the keyhole tag... they are not commonly still intact today

Oh, I definitely believe in it. But I can't say more without it turning into a political discussion, so I'll just leave it at that.
