Someone in the Dataw marketing department was asleep at the switch!

The Club is closed on Mondays. But think about it. With such huge
interest in the solar eclipse and everyone scrambling to buy eclipse
glasses, they could have cashed in big time!

Picture it: A special lunchtime Eclipse menu. Eclipse glasses
included. Doesn't have to be an extensive menu. Soup & salad.
Appetpizers. Servers and diners on the patio, all wearing special
glasses.

They could have charged upwards of $60 per person and I guarantee some
people would have bought it. Oh well.

I wonder if any thought about it? Meantime, we are reaching our peake.
There's a report that the bat cave is stirring. (I-264 and I-64,
headed to the beach, big bat cave near there). They probably think
near dusk.

Most of them don't work on Tuesday, either. The Club is only open for a
couple of hours for lunch.

time.

The eclipse was pretty much a non-event anyway. It rained all
afternoon. It didn't even get dark here. Just looked like another
cloudy day. Of course they still could have turned it into a
money-making event with people watching on the flat screens in the Pub.
Oh well, too late now.

I know there are a lot of people who would have paid a premium to get
together for an Eclipse Party at the Pub, rain or shine, inside or out.
Reservations would have been necessary, which pretty much locks in a
pre-paid price, menu and the servers automatically get 20%. It's not as
if the eclipse snuck up on anyone. But, it apparently didn't occur to
anyone in the marketing department they could have held an eclipse
party. Oh well.

What, you dislike everybody in rfc and would hate to meet them in real
life? What a rude and snooty thing to say!

I didn't actually get to see anything but rain here. I watched a little
bit on television but it really was NBFD! A heck of a lot of build up
to pretty much nothing.

Perhaps the drudge workers were not prepared to forgo their day off
for the 'club' people?

I have no idea about the static population of Dataw. There are a lot of
"seasonal" residents here. They show up in the winter when it starts to
get cold. These people have winter homes and summer homes, so I'm
pretty sure they can afford to dine at the Club. How much do they HAVE
to spend? The dining assessment is $838 per year. I believe that
figure is slightly higher if there's more than one person living in the
house.

Over the years I've gotten to know some of the people who work at the
Club. Some of them work two jobs. I'll have to ask whether an added
shift on Monday for an eclipse party would be been objectionable or
simply seen as a way to pick up some extra money. Then again, they
might have been scheduled to work at their *other* jobs on Monday.

If they wore special glasses they wouldn't see a thing. It would be
the same as being blindfolded.

Have you never heard of dark dining or dining in the dark? Seems to me
it was trendy in some ultra-cosmopolitan urban areas in the last 10
years. The servers aren't blindfolded (hopefully!) but the patrons are.
Here's a wiki article:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_dining

Dining blindfolded, not something I'd be interested in. My post about
the Club and the eclipse was intended to be facetious. That's why I
included the smilies.

I'm sorry to say I saw a little bit of Bonny Tyler performing her 1983
hit "Total Eclipse of the Heart" on television. Time and age has not
been good to her vocal cords. The eclipse didn't help, either.

I know all about the diner thing. You included the servers in your
statement and I figured you didn't know anything about the glasses
since it was all a yawn.

Sad. I bet most of the workers would have volunteered to work that day
for the extra money.

Bruce, she's talking about Dataw and a club event there. Not RFC.

I keep hoping for something non-troll.

Definition of insanity:

Doing the same thing again and again and expecting different results.

I just wanted you to know what it's like when someone keeps reading
things you never wrote.

I just want you to gargle with caustic lye.

We went outside and viewed a 80 percent eclipse through a Wheaties box
contraption with a deluxe leo-made toilet paper eyepiece.

Kids prefer to look through a toilet paper core instead of a ordinary
slot in the box. Keep that in mind. I'm a kid at heart.
By the way, these are for sale! Only thirty bucks plus twenty bucks
shipping, but the athlete may change for this prized possession and
future heirloom.
A new iPad showed up while the eclipse was transiting the country. I
named it "Eclipse".
Did anybody but me see the hilarious Fox News coverage? Would you admit
to it? Shep Smith insisted that everyone in the newsroom refer to the
event as "Total Eclipse of the Sun". Ah, well, you had to be there.
