Reminder: Solar eclipse this Thursday, October 23

For those who can see it (most people in North America except possible Rob and Beyond), anyway. Info here: http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/sc ... eteclipse/

Since it starts just before sunset here, I've written a notice on the white board by my office door to let people know about it. I might have to go sit on the west side of the Lincoln Memorial for this!

Know the quiet place within your heart and touch the rainbow of possibility; be
alive to the gentle breeze of communication, and please stop being such a jerk.

Rob, the penalty for trespassing is 3-dozen assorted donuts and a gallon of 'good' cider.

owlice, when it comes to me seeing astronomical events, put me down for.... probably not. IF it would be visible in N/E Ct., then all the clouds come here to have a look-see and crowd me out.
