Buckle Up, Buttercup: Estimates Are Astronomical (Well, Not Quite)
Experts are throwing around numbers like confetti at a parade. Some say we could see 17,000 starry-eyed tourists. Others are whispering about a galactic gold rush with 66,000 eclipse enthusiasts descending upon Oklahoma. Let's be honest, folks, those little towns in the path of totality might look more like theme parks than prairies come eclipse day.
Tip: Don’t just glance — focus.

Sounds like a recipe for some unforgettable memories (and maybe a few long lines for the bathroom).
