Well if you do go out,,,,, Don't forget your Tin Hats. This is just another Omen of things to come. 1. War, Ukraine. Gazza 2. Plague, illegals spreading measles, etc. 3. Earthquakes, Tiwan, NYC 4. Severe weather, hail, tornadoes, worst hurricane season approaching. 5. Anti-Christ, obama coming around to replace biden, throw us into the final phase of socialism

We heard that these festival folks are charged again if they leave and come back in... not sure if it is true or not, but I'm sure if it is true, that is keeping many from leaving the ranches and coming into town. This would explain why we saw so much traffic coming in on Thursday and none now. I feel for all the local business owners who spent big bucks on all the hype and now will have to hope they can sell off all the extra products they ordered; at any rate we didn't get to the 100,000 extra folks that was forecasted.

I’m in Waco right now. If there’s gonna be any huge influx of eclipse people, I’m sure not seeing it. The wife, an eclipse mob believer, says that the people just aren’t here yet. They aren’t gonna be here. Roads are empty.

Few extra cars here in Kerrville.....not the mass hysteria the media over-hyped as usual.
I spoke to a beer vendor yesterday and he had delivered 4000 cases to one festival....they sold 40 Saturday.

My guys just went through Mason and said it was much busier than normal. Just folks wanting to check out the eclipse.

On an interesting side note - I heard an excellent sermon yesterday that pointed out, because of the Jewish lunar calendar, and Christ's crucifixion at Passover, there's no way the 3 hours that the Almighty darkened the sun was an eclipse. The moon was on the opposite side of the earth from the sun. He darkened the sun to point to the Son.
...and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. Gen. 1:28

Every rural county in the path is predicting 100k-200k people. It’s BS. Like half the US population is coming here for 3 minutes. Not going to happen. Yep. I went full Oxner and quoted myself

Well that was pretty neat. I could view totality with the naked eye. Beautiful sight. When it started getting dark, it got dark real fast. All the birds just stopped chirping and it was dead silence. One of my cats came out of the barn and was like what the heii is going on. Light returned us back to normal. Birds started singing again and God's great light shines upon us once again.
