Regarding the Pfizer building and so many others, it apparently isn't common knowledge that laser listening devices can eavesdrop on a conversation happening in an office with a window. A laser is directed at the window and the vibrations can be detected and reconstructed as audio from the reflected beam. Our govt uses this tech. Multi-layer energy efficient glass makes this more difficult but not impossible. So you could have audio to go with the video.

So today i was going to have some cocopuffs at work.. poured my milk but it tasted funny so i emptied the bowl in the toilet.. it looked wrong as hell so i didnt flush as a joke.. the look on my bosses face when he got out of the bathroom was priceless.

I got the day off to see it. Should be OK in Raleigh, but I was planning on heading south down I-95 to get the best view.
Looks like I might be heading to Lars' place. Seems like a good day for a cook out.

Lots of free glasses being given out by schools, Clemson University, and Duke Energy to try to prevent stupid people from also becoming blind.

I can rent you out a winter room. So you can get away from that cold snowy north east. I have plenty of parking, top down weather is 12 months of the year. You might have about 30 days worth of temps where it is below freezing spread out over a 3 months span.

going to pdx to stay with friends for eclipse.
you can get 10x solar glasses for like $5 on amazon. cheap eye protection. just make sure they meet the ISO 12312-2 standard.
NASA's site says a #14 welding filter is ok.
Also if you are in the totality path, it is safe to view at full totality with some nakedwomen eyes.

The funny thing is, I was looking at getting a hotel room in Manning. Wasn't planning on staying the night, just using the AC/WiFi and putting some cartoons on for the little one. I have a feeling staring at the sun won't be that entertaining for her.

My daughter's school plans to time the eclipse and tell the children to put their glasses back on 20 seconds before the full is over.

You'd think that for $2k a month, the dishwasher wouldn't back up into the sink, and the tub would drain sufficiently well that you weren't up to your shins in grey water by the end of a normal shower.
And you'd be wrong.
There are a lot of things I'll miss about this place. The plumbing isn't among them. Nor the HVAC. Nor the parking situation. Nor the wait for the elevators. Nor the traffic getting in and out. Nor the number of fat people with fat dogs. Seriously, it's weird how the fattest of the occupants of this building also have the most obese dogs. I didn't get a good shot of the owner here, but this dude basically had no neck:

That's a s--- building then. Granted where I live isn't expensive to you (or other big city types) but for the city/state it is, last week I sent an email telling them the smoke alarm batteries were dying, they were replaced before I got home to make lunch.
