Anyone planning on seeing it?  I am going to drive 250 miles to Missouri, rain or shine!!  Already booked at Hotels.com 4 months ago!

I was going to and then I realized it would be too dark to see anything.

Ha, ha!

I expect you'll be easily recognizable as the one guy angrily waving his cane at the sky shouting "fuck off stupid moon, you're blocking my sunlight!" Smile
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

I'm flying into Chicago 2 weeks from today, then taking the train down to Carbondale Sunday morning (and then going back to Chicago on Monday afternoon to do some sightseeing).

Turn on the TV and google NASA. 

Face paint your elder as the moon and have him very slowly walk in front of a light bulb. Now that would seeing something good!

You're supposed to act strange at a solar eclipse, weep, cry, yell, that sort of thing, especially, if it is your first, or so I have been told.  Even the birds act strange!

The stars come out at noon and steal men's souls.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
