For you Missourah guys:  I saw on the news this morning that a nudist camp in Missouri was hosting a nude eclipse party

I saw a partial eclipse once. It'd have to be a total and very dark one before anyone would want to see me running around nude.lol. Probably just be another partial for me again not sure how many percent we are here.

Guess that would be a full moon party as well...?

We got a message from school last night.  They are letting the kids out of school at noon that day so they can observe the eclipse.

I would think the schools would use this eclipse as a learning situation and keep kids in school.

[osage outlaw]

I thought the same thing Pat.

Our local school district declared a holiday and there would be no classes that day. Opinions vary why it was done, one was they didn't want the hassle of keeping track of the young 'uns during the eclipse, another was it is supposed to be family oriented experience, another was that an adjacent district called off classes so our teachers wanted the day off as well.

Schools are for teaching. This once in a lifetime experience should be included in the curriculum.

Maybe they don't want to be sued by the parents of all the "blinded kids".

I didn't say it but I was sure thinking it DC.

Oh good, there is another cynic on here

[Pat B]

So the parents have to stay home from work to be sure their kids don't stare at the sun? At least at school they can build up to the event and teach proper safety precautions as part of their education along with the geographic, astronomic, astrological and historical facts and beliefs of such an event.

Bill you are correct on Hopkinsville,Ky. It's the place that the eclipse will be 100% and all hotels campgrounds are booked from SOMERSET- land between the lakes. I'm 2hrs east of it thinking of driving the family over early that morning. I'm hearing people from all over the world will be in the bluegrass state for it.

You are correct.   The school didn't want to be liable if the kids stared at the sun and burned  their eyes out.

Have them all sign a paper at a gym hall meeting of all of the students saying they realize the potential danger of staring at the sun during an eclipse.Then they would be duely & verifiably notified.
That's crazy.
