We took a bus down from Flint to BGSU for their viewing party, and I thought traffic going down was bad (left at 10am, arrived at 2:15pm).
Had enough time to get settled, and begin viewing through our glasses, and a number of high powered telescopes they had set up.
The weather was gorgeous, 75 and sunny, some whispy clouds that people were getting nervous about.
The whole time I was thinking "this is neat", but secretly I was dreading being there for an hour, and then immediately repeating the drive...but then things started to grow darker, and the temp dropped by at least 10-15 degrees.
I had some Hans Zimmer queued up to enhance the experience.
When totality hit, and I removed my glasses, I was simply awe-struck. Words can simply not describe it, it truly felt like I was on another planet, staring into a black-hole sun. Seeing solar-flares around the corona with your naked-eye was amazing. Thinking back, I can understand now why ancient civilizations may have thought the world was ending, quickly needing to sacrifice a handful of virgins to save that year's crops.
We loaded back on the bus at 4:30pm, and didn't get back to Flint until 10:30pm....bumper-to-bumper from Ohio to Detroit, the entire way.
If I had the opportunity to see it again today, I would go in a heartbeat!
Just wow...the best game I've ever seen, and got to enjoy it with my brother live and in-person. What a blessing! Way to go boys! Go Blue, Beat Iowa!!!
Much love and prayers! Had my niece spend 6 months in the ICU when born at 27 weeks, to say it's a draining experience is an understatement. Focus on your family and everything else will fall in place. Stay strong!
Edit side note: HTTV is wonderful this year, about 1/4 the way through, and thoroughly enjoying it...well done all around!
Got tickets to see Oppenheimer at the Detroit Science Center in IMAX 70mm next Thursday. Getting there nice and early to get a center seat, and needless to say, I'm pretty jazzed to see this movie in that level of quality and detail.
Will likely wait for Barbie to find its way across the internets and watch it on Plex.
For those of you interested in old football footage like this, there is an amazing Three Stooges short where they end up on the gridiron: No Census, No Feeling (1940)
If you're just looking for the football bits, skip to around 11:30, but the whole episode is gold IMO.
I always imagined they were in Michigan stadium when I was a kid.
That's awesome! Ya you're literally creating a layer of compost as a base with the cardboard and grass. Just continuously feeds as it continues to break down.
We did the same thing with some new raised beds alongside the back of our house for herbs, and just sprinkled a thin layer of older compost we had ready on top. Saves so much compared to filling the entire thing with fancy store-bought dirt.
Having them pick up Hector just to carry him over so he can fire shots into his corpse had me dying...fade to credits with the shots still echoing in the background, brutal!

Love when the games aren't on Bally!

Maryland is a combined 3-15 in November games over the last 5 years...
2 out of 3 of those wins were again Rutgers, and the 3rd was Penn St during the COVID year.
Take that info as you will, but I'm not seeing this as the trap game.
It was PUBG
I never knew that, but makes sense since the film lots were in SoCal. Thanks for the new bit of trivia!
