Glad we didn't go to the desert. Home was gonna be 90% eclipse or some crap. Stayed for a few days with said family, where totality was going to be short, so drove (at 8am, I wasn't risking traffic) north under beautiful blue skies. We got a perfect show from the roadside a couple miles south of...

That could be a problem, yes. Do you think it's a serious risk? Not that some people would try to effect very dramatic change, but that they would successfully effect that change, and make it difficult for people to communicate? I'm interested in your hostility to change. What makes this misuse?

I liked 50 alternating with 60. Ain't doing anything better with my time, might as well get that paper. As far as the balance of workday length against days on and days off, I'd much rather do fewer longer shifts. Any work scheduled in a day weighs on my mind no matter the length, longer shifts...
