Would lines of tiny ones be called "ellipses pancakes . . . "

The eclipse could come and go before you would of gotten thru the line.

I just don't get it...its still just a donut.

I wonder more of how long people waited in that line...for a donut. Anyone???

There is no "just a donut!" Donuts is a different matter:

Has anyone seen the called-for increased traffic and people?

Now.. Honestly, I'm probably not in the best place to notice it.. Gray Court isn't exactly a tourist mecca.. But I was up around Simpsonville yesterday.. Silver Bay seemed empty for a Saturday and there wasn't a line stretched around the corner at the Train Ice Cream place.. I did see one moron with Florida tags doing perhaps the worst (And funniest) parking job I've seen in some time in downtown Simpsonville.. But... Things just didn't seem overly crowded.

Maybe it's just coming in today and/or tomorrow?

I think this traffic scare is hyperbole. Cities will be bad, but the highways have been fine so far this weekend.

I think I-26 might be very busy from Clinton to Charleston.. Pending on the weather. You could wind up seeing a large number of people going either way, pending on cloud cover. Since the path of the eclipse basically follows the route of 26.

I saw charter buses driving downtown with full passenger loads that had 'solar eclipse' on the front window. Anybody know what group this is for?
